Rescue. Nurture. Empower.

Over the years, we have been privileged to intervene at the right time to save a child’s life. Some of our rescue missions have often made the difference between life and death for these abandoned and/or orphaned children in dire need of life support.

• Together we are building a brighter future,full of hope and transformation.

We provide orphaned and abandoned children with a loving Christian home where they receive all the love, care, protection and practical support they need to thrive. Most children come to us at, or soon after, birth and we are committed to caring for them until old enough to be independent. We are one of few registered children's homes in the region, and therefore our services are in great demand. We care for all our children as if they were our own, giving them all the love and support they need along the way.

Fountain of Peace Village
We are based in the Kyenjojo District of Western Uganda. The Kyenjojo region is stunningly beautiful, but also marred by extreme poverty. Unemployment, maternal mortality and malnutrition are all too common in the region where many children are left orphaned or abandoned. As a result of the extensive poverty, school attendance is well below the national average and access to healthcare and job opportunities is difficult.

Peace Ruharuza founded the Fountain of Peace in 2005, driven by a firm conviction to help rural, orphaned, and abandoned children. Her commitment stemmed from her childhood experiences, which deeply affected her and many of her friends. She found hope through the kindness of a stranger, leading her to believe that we have a responsibility to show the same compassion and mercy to others that we have received ourselves.

Since its inception, Peace has been joined by hundreds of supporters worldwide, creating a global community dedicated to giving abandoned and destitute children a chance to survive, thrive, and reach their full potential. Together, we rescue children, build loving homes, create families, and raise leaders based on a solid Christian foundation.
