About Lights of Kazinga Orphanage

“We’re small and uniquely different from larger charities operating here in Uganda. We pride ourselves on being able to show our visitors and donors exactly where their money is being spent. We have the advantage of being able to spend the large majority of donations received directly on the children and their educational needs. “

Lights of Kazinga was founded in 2018 by Hamza  after completing his bachelor’s degree in Computer engineering and then decided to give back to the community after witnessing a number of less privileged kids suffer with no food, no education, and homeless as most of the children here were orphans due to the HIV AIDS disease killing their parents.

We started with 5 orphans and now have over 10 registered needy children under the care of Lights of kazinga Orphanage. These children are between the ages of 3 and 14 years old.

The loss of one parent in Uganda is tantamount to orphanage, the loss of one or both parents typically causes severe limitations on the ability to generate income. In turn this has a significant, negative impact on the well-being and social mobility of the child. A child who has lost one parent is referred to as a ‘single orphan’ and a child who has lost both parents is referred to as a ‘double orphan’. 

Where possible orphans are brought under the care of a relative and this arrangement is facilitated and managed by Lights of Kazinga orphanage.

Lights of Kazinga orphanage needs all the help and support we can get, we can do so much with so little and you can be a part of that.
