Home of Love Orphanage

Tororo, Uganda

Who We Are

Home of Love Orphanage is a grassroots organization serving orphaned children in a small community in Tororo, Uganda.

At Home of Love Orphanage, we take hopeless children off the street, help them discover their potential, and train them to be productive citizens in their society. We provide shelter, food, clothing, school tuition, healthcare, and life coaching. Over 40 children’s lives have been restored since formally starting Home of Love Orphanage in 2008. It is our mission to teach entrepreneurism, leadership, and sustainable agriculture to raise up leaders who will bring positive change in their society.

History

Stella Owino-Taylor was born and raised in Uganda and witnessed a lot of suffering and neglect of orphaned children during that time. After coming to the United States, she felt the inner pull to help make a difference in as many lives as possible.

In 2003, Stella started sending money to her mother in Uganda to care for 6 orphans. In 2005, Stella bought a plot of land to help expand the ministry of helping these children. The land had no structures and no running water. It was empty land. During this time, we put a sign on the land that said “Future Home for the Homeless”. Immediately, street children saw the sign and started staying on the property before we had a formalized or organized team or any place to care for them. Somebody had to take care of these children. We took them in and placed them in temporary housing until we were able to accommodate them. And so the founding of Home of Love Orphanage took place in 2008.
