Welcome to the friends of HOREMI!

A tin roof over their heads, a warm meal a day, regular school atten­dance: For  nearly all of the many orphans in Uganda, this “luxury” is unat­tain­able. More than eight years ago, a woman in the east of the country said to herself, “This can’t be.” With not much more than her two hands, she started an initia­tive that today provides for around 30 orphans under the name HOREMI.

HOREMI: Help, hope and perspective

HOREMI (Hope and Rescue Missions Inter­na­tional) is a small, private aid orga­ni­za­tion in eastern Uganda. It was founded in 2015 by teacher Naume Naigaga and her adopted son Kenneth and now provides 30 orphans and street chil­dren with the basics of life: shelter, food, drink, clothing and schooling. You can find insights into life at HOREMI and news here in the blog.
At the begin­ning of 2024, HOREMI also opened its own school to provide poor chil­dren with a good educa­tion. HOREMI could not do this work without your dona­tions.
Uganda is one of the poorest coun­tries in the world. There is no state welfare in the western sense. But there is us, the “Friends of HOREMI” (see below).


Friends of HOREMI: Teamwork makes the dream work!

We, the “Friends of HOREMI e.V.” are a handful of spon­sors, some of whom have been supporting HOREMI for years (from around 2016). In mid-2023, we decided to found a non-profit asso­ci­a­tion to better promote the work of the small orga­ni­za­tion HOREMI. And to find many more friends for Yobu, Bumali and all the other HOREMI kids.

Our goal is to increase and stabi­lize the dona­tions for the orphanage and the start-up aid for the school in order to give HOREMI more plan­ning secu­rity. This is the only way the orga­ni­za­tion has a chance of providing sustain­able help and building up its own resources, for example through its own agri­cul­ture. And the help is getting through: Every euro notice­ably improves the diffi­cult living situ­a­tion on the ground.

Our next steps:
