CHAIN Foundation

Located in Mukono, 20 kilometers from Kampala, the CHAIN Foundation Uganda orphanage was founded in 2001 by the (at the time) retired Archbishop Livingstone Nkoyoyo in response to the needs of local orphans and children with visual or other impairments. The foundation provides a home for more than 100 orphans and other vulnerable children, offering them shelter and a loving environment. 

​

This Christian-based organization addresses the physical, educational, medical, and spiritual needs of the children, regardless of their religious background or family circumstances. Additionally, the foundation supports at-risk and visually impaired children in nearby communities through various educational programs.

​

In February 2009, the Martin Nkoyoyo Inclusive School at the CHAIN Foundation was established. It is the first school of its kind in Uganda, integrating blind and sighted children. This model school serves over 300 students from both the orphanage and surrounding villages. The school library features an extensive collection of books, including Braille books for blind students.
