CHAIN Foundation
MUKUNO, UGANDA
CHAIN Orphanage
Our children's home is home to 96 boys and girls, supported by a dedicated team of 13 staff members, including mothers and uncles, who provide full-time care. We focus on nurturing responsible individuals by teaching essential life skills, including home chores and personal hygiene management. Our curriculum encompasses various activities, such as bed-making, personal hygiene practices, cleaning of communal spaces and dormitories, as well as gardening tasks like raking and digging. Through these teachings, we aim to empower children to become responsible and self-sufficient members of society.
Farming/Gardening
CHAIN Foundation has increased the volume of crops grown and harvested over the past several years. Crops such as maize, sweet potatoes, varieties of peppers, and ground nuts are a few examples. In addition to the crops, farm animals and a poultry house are allowing them to become close to being self-sustaining. Children at the orphanage do not miss out on the familiar sustenance farming culture of the surrounding community. CHAIN is close to being self-sufficient, with its acreage of maize, peppers, sweet potatoes, and other crops along with many animals.
