The Amahoro Children’s Home in Matugga

Built in 2009, this children’s home is located 30 minutes north of Kampala in a peaceful semi-rural area. The home has large dormitories, a lovely dining hall in the back, an administrative office, a well, a primary school and secondary school and crops on the hill behind the home. Mostly girls live at this home, as well as some young boys. The children are between the ages of 4 and 18. The number of children at the home changes over time as some children are resettled and other children come to the home, but about 25-35 children live at this home. Mentors also live at the home and provide care and supervision for the children. The Matugga home is truly a special place, with some exceptionally sweet kids.
