Love Uganda Foundation is a charitable non-government organization based in Uganda working tirelessly to change lives of children especially Orphaned childred, with offices located in Mukono district, Kalagi town – Nakanyonyi Village about 35 Kilometers from Kampala city.
Founded by the late Emmanuel MacMillan Kitumba in 2006, Love Uganda Foundation began as a small outreach ministry operating in both Kampala and Mukono districts by proving education sponsorship to 10 Orphans and Vulnerable Children in local schools in Mukono and Kampala districts. Emmanuel was passionate about helping needy people, especially children in his community – a dream he had since childhood.
McMillan asked his sponsor, Mr. Andrew McMillan, from whom he adopted the surname having helped him complete a course in Theology in 2008, “How best can I pay for what you have done for me?” Mr. Andrew instructed him to do to others what has been done to him.
And due to the increased number of Orphan children in Uganda who have lost one or both parents to HIV/AIDs, Accidents, and other diseases. These children especially orphaned Children were missing out on education and some children had become homeless due to domestic violence in relative families.
It is from here that the Late Emmanuel opened Love Uganda Foundation in (2012) to change lives and empower the next generation.
