Home Again, Uganda

Home Again, Uganda - providing homes, parenting, family life, education, medical care, training, guidance, and opportunity for orphaned and street children

HOME stands for "Homes, Opportunity, Mentoring, and Education"

Home Again, Uganda, was founded in January 2001 by David & Aimee Kyambadde. The first home now cares for more than forty former street boys and provides excellent education, career or vocational training, health care, nutritional food, activities, and more. Also provided are educational and other assistance to several girls and other children in other children's homes affecting hundreds of children.

Each child is given a loving family environment to grow and mature. He/She attends a successful, reputable school and enjoys as many opportunities as the home is able to provide and his/her motivation claims. Each child is further challenged and trained to become community-minded and philanthropic seeking to give others hope.

Our Purpose
to parent parentless children in healthy, productive, family environments thus removing the insecurity, labels, stigma, and loneliness of being an "orphan" or "rejected". We are a second home - parents, siblings, and family not just an institution or staff members of an organization.

As youth mature they can become "staff members" (house managers, assistants, cooks, mentors, administrators, trainers, store or house keepers, business owners, etc) who earn an allowance. Here they learn to bond, work, contribute, and care for one another. They learn to be a family that grows together, encourages each others future, and share in the responsibilities and heart of the home.

Many serve in school leadership positions such as prefects, monitors, team captains, etc. Several have joined Scouts and play on sports teams while performing well in studies. A life they never expected in addition to great education, a loving home, and good food. Some of them have even begun to explore the world.



One lives in South Africa, where he works and is receiving vital medical care that saved his life.







One traveled to Germany for a school soccer event. This opened the door to a sponsorship to go to an American school to play soccer and study business. His brother went to Kenya and is now also going to America to play soccer and study business. Another went to Kenya, Tanzania, and Zanzibar for a scout trip. This created a relationship with a sponsor who is now paying for his education.



Many have traveled around Uganda with their schools. One has spent the last year in the United States for a medical procedure. His mother caused him to lose his eye as a child and he now has one. Buy the book if you want to know more.

One is going to Zambia to volunteer with an American doctor. He plans to study medicine. Four will go to Botswana to Bible school in January 2008. And the list goes on with more children still in primary and secondary school.

This is all in just a few years with a small network of families and friends joining together because it does take a village to raise a child.

We parent our children and guide our youth like we would our relatives because that is who they have become to us. They are learning how to be Fathers and Mothers at home, in the community, and at heart. They are learning to stand above a problem and see how to dig, climb, break, or wait it out. They learn how to give and live unselfishly and are making a significant difference in their world.
