Kwagala Means Love

We are an NGO in Jinja, Uganda with a home for vulnerable children...

 

...most of whom lived on the streets, as we seek to build relationships and learn how to help empower their families.

Bosco found this picture today of himself on the left when he first came to Kwagala and said, "my goodness, do you see how much I've grown? Thank you, God!" On the right is him today. This boy was abandoned on a bus by his family about 7 years ago. We are so excited to start our home-tracing project to find out where Bosco came from so he can see his family again and to hopefully build a relationship. #kwagalameanslove #kwagala #uganda #jinja #bugembe

Proud of our boys for being so responsible. As soon as they get home from school they wash their uniforms so they are nice and clean for the morning. Here is Sabasi scrubbing out that crazy red dirt. #responsibilities #takincareofbusiness #workhardplayhard #srubbin #keepitclean #keepitclassy #kwagala #kwagalameanslove #uganda #jinja #bugembe

Ali, one of our older boys, shared a few stories of his past with us today. God has moved mountains in this young man over the last few years. He wanted us to know that he has forgiven those who have hurt him and that he "IS LIVING A GOOD LIFE!" We are so grateful to be able to learn valuable lessons from each one of our boys. Everyone has an important story. #kwagalameanslove #Kwagala #uganda #jinja #bugembe

KWAA-ga-la

...means  “love” in the local language of Luganda.

“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us....  Dear friends let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.” (1 John 3:16-18)
