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.

Who We Are
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.
What We Do
Providing a loving Christian home and comprehensive care for orphaned and abandoned children in Western Uganda
Our Children's Home
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.
Love & Care
Providing a nurturing environment with comprehensive emotional and physical care.
Education
Supporting children's education from early years through to independence.
Community Support
Working with local communities to create lasting positive change.
OUR MISSION
Giving hope and transforming lives for Uganda's children.
Providing hope and a secure future, in a Christian environment, for orphaned, abandoned, and other critically vulnerable children of Western Uganda.
Rescue
Giving each child a home and a family.
Nurture
creating a healthy space for our children's growth .
Empower
Empowering our children and the local community.
Community Impact
Fountain of Peace is dedicated to transforming lives through education, clean water, and maternal health initiatives. Over 300 vulnerable children receive quality education at Rwenjaza Hillside Nursery and Primary School, equipping them with the skills to break the cycle of poverty.
Additionally, more than 20 wells have been constructed, providing nearby communities with access to safe drinking water and promoting health and stability. The Mothers Matter in Childbirth program ensures pregnant mothers receive essential medical care for safe deliveries. Guided by compassion and a commitment to lasting impact, FOP continues to uplift children and communities with the support of like-minded partners.

On March 5th, Fountain of Peace responded to a call from Kyenjojo District's Senior Probation and Social Welfare Officer about Baby Patrick, a three-week-old infant in need of alternative care after his mother, Annet Kebirungi, passed away on March 1st due to a sudden illness. Annet left behind six children under the care of their father, Chris, who was overwhelmed by the responsibility, prompting intervention. Upon arrival, Baby Patrick was healthy, weighing 3.6 kg and feeding well. Fountain of Peace welcomed Patrick as our newest baby, providing him with care and support and ensuring a safe and nurturing environment where he can thrive.
Thank you for your interest in Patrick's story. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of more children like him.
