Lilian (Sara) has spent much of her life caring for abandoned children. She felt a ‘calling’ because of the love shown for Ronnie when he was an impoverished youngster. “His story drove me to reach out to the vulnerable, the sick and the malnourished.”

Mwesigwa Julius

Julius (Ronnie) was once homeless himself on the streets of Kampala. “My journey, my story has been shaped by some truly humane individuals. Canaan was born out of a desire to help children in similar situations.”

Jeremy England
