Benjamin House exists to provide donors, churches, and other groups an avenue to inspire hope across Uganda through the Gospel of Jesus Christ
by transforming the lives of at-risk and vulnerable children, preparing them for their futures, and building up the next generation of leaders.

Family Restoration

Every day, Ugandan parents are faced with a choice.  Either I can keep my child and when they're older they'll struggle with life just like I am, OR I can take my child to an orphanage and they'll get 3 meals a day, an education, and a chance at a better life. 
We believe that's a choice no parent should ever have to make.

Our desire is to remove the barriers that are currently keeping families apart.  If the school fees of the child or having enough food for the family is the challenge, we attempt to get sponsorship for that child so they can stay with their parents.  If its a young teenage mother, we work with her to help her become the mother we know she can be, rather than her having to subject her child to a lifetime alone.  In all our programs, self-sustainability plans are a must.  We don't simply want to put a bandage on the problem, we want to solve it at the root, and set these families up for long term life and success.  It's the hard route, but it is best.

Child Sponsorship

Our sponsorship program is unique and seeks to PRESERVE FAMILIES. Not only do you get to constantly interact with your sponsored child, but your dollars also go to change a family, not just provide for that child. The structure of our sponsorships encourages families to develop a skill, gain employment, and be able to provide for themselves in the long term. We work directly with them to develop a sustainability strategy to help life them out of the cycle of poverty they are caught in.

Empowerment Programs

One of the best ways to solve a crisis is to prevent it from happening in the first place.  As such, Benjamin House has developed THE UPRISING.  The Uprising is a strategic plan of school clubs, social activities, teaching and training programs, camps and retreats, and mentorship programs designed to target teenagers and help them make good, healthy life choices.  If we can make an impact on the choices of Uganda's youth, we can help stop this cycle of fatherlessness and poverty.

Transitional Homes

Then there are the families that have already fallen apart; children who are already without parents, living on the streets of Kampala and sleeping on the sidewalks at night. Roughly 15,000 children live on the streets of Kampala. These children don't just need homes. They need a place to restore their hearts, souls, bodies, and minds. Seeing this overwhelming need in the heart of Uganda, we sought out to RESTORE FAMILIES through Transitional Homes. In these homes, orphans receive counseling and love from our social workers and House Parents. There are no more than 8 children in a home at one time and we aim to find a forever family for each child within 9-12 months.
