Our Story
Uganda is home to over 3 million orphans. AIDS has wiped out an entire generation of parents; forcing thousands of children to never receive an education, Parental Love and Care. No education. No job, No HOPE. In addition, Uganda is in the middle of a Global food crisis - the cost and availability food is very challenging right now so the need has never been greater. DCCO was started in 2017 by a young man who lived on the streets - Ssemanda Yusufu. Our mission is to bring these kids off of the streets and provide food, clean water, shelter, medication, education and a job to help them become self sustaining. We have purchased land to help us grow food, and also are in the middle of a building project to help provide a permanent home for these kids.
I remember and it’s like nightmare when I remember those days on the streets where we could not have hope for food, education, accommodation, medication and water! The battle was for all of us on the streets - no blankets no mattresses, no security BUT see what the Lord has done through our Facebook friends and family brick by brick one by one step by step we have reached this far where children are secure with food, clothes accommodations and the place where they can play from. Yes it’s small but it’s far better than streets which we used as our homes. Join us to thank God. God uses people and it’s you among the many who has built Divine CHILD CARE Orphanage. Let’s continue to join our hands together and we finish the Home of orphans.

Check out the video that shows how God is moving in Uganda, and how to get involved. Jesus Christ is at the very center of all we do at Divine Child Care Orphanage. Jesus calls each one of us to go and make disciples and these kids need to know that God hasn't forgotten them. Discipleship and training in God's Word is an important focus of our ministry too as we seek to advance the Kingdom of God. 100% of the donations go directly to feeding, housing, and educating the children. We invite you to join us in this walk of faith to see what God will do in all of our hearts.
December 2022 - Building Project Final Costs
A big 'Thank You' to so many people who have joined us on this journey of purchasing the land, and going thru multiple building phases to build the dorms, bathrooms, and kitchen. The plan is to finish the remaining three projects in early 2023, so the kids can move into their new home and take advantage of the new facilities.
The costs for these remaining projects is approximately $7600.00. In addition, we still need more sponsors to help provide for the monthly costs of food, clothing, medication, education, as well as the upcoming Christmas party. We invite you to partner with us as we seek to serve these beautiful kids who simply want a chance to grow and thrive, and become everything God created them to be. May God reward you for your generosity.
