The new teachers’ house
The HOREMI Junior School has rapidly built a house for its teachers: another important step forward!
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 (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).
HOREMI still needs many friends. If you would like to support the kids in Uganda, we would appreciate a link to this page on your favorite social media platforms. Every click helps! Thank you!
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.
