About Ark of Hope Child Foundation
A community-based organization founded on pillars of love, hope and desire for change, working to address the needs of underprivileged children in Nawangoma, Uganda.
A Journey Born from Compassion
"Being born and brought up by two illiterate parents who were farmers, I passed through hard life during my childhood. Thankfully the Lord blessed and protected me together with my family and put me somewhere. Now I couldn't stand seeing the little ones suffer in my society."
- Nkaye Siliman, Founder
Ark of Hope Child Foundation was established in Nawangoma village, Budondo Sub-County, Jinja district with a simple but powerful mission: to become a family for children without one. What started as a small home care center has grown into a beacon of hope for orphans, street kids, and vulnerable children.
We provide support to orphans, needy, street children, and vulnerable kids through education sponsorship, daily meals, healthcare, shelter, and spiritual growth. Our holistic approach addresses not just immediate needs but builds foundations for lasting change.
