Due to the fact that our main goal is to care for babies and then resettle them with their family, we do not have individual sponsorships. Instead we have sponsorships for the entire home since so many babies are coming for either a short time or a longer time until they are healthy and ready to be resettled with a family

Thank you to everyone who has come alongside us over the years to rescue and save babies who have been orphaned, abandoned, malnourished, or need a home until a parent is able to maintain a self sustaining job to care for both of them! When we are contacted by the police, the hospital, or a village member about a vulnerable baby who has no place to go due to a parent’s death or the baby has been found abandoned, we often have just a few hours to rescue the baby. Upon arrival in our home, the new baby must immediately be taken to the hospital due to government requirements. If the baby is sick and needs any medications, we must purchase them. If the baby is contagious with a disease, such as measles, chicken pox or TB, we must hire an additional Auntie to stay with the baby full time in an isolated location away from the other babies to avoid spreading the disease.

At Sonrise Baby Home, our goal is to reunite babies with a family so they can grow up knowing a family. We do not have individual baby sponsorships since our hope is to reunite the baby with a family. However we have sponsorships for our entire home since many babies are coming to us for either a short time or a longer time until they are healthy and ready to be resettled with a family.

You can choose to sponsor our home in any amount which God leads you to help support us. By donating to our home, you are helping us to purchase the items which cannot be grown on our land such as formula and diapers. We use about $130 in formula per day (which is about $4,000 per month) for all of our youngest and malnourished babies. Your financial gifts to Sonrise Baby Home also helps cover medical care/medicine, full time auntie care, maintenance of our home, fuel to drive into town to pick up items we need (oil, sugar, flour), clothing/shoes for toddlers, and nutritious food for our milk cows (who provide 2-3 cups of fresh milk per child per day).

Sonrise Baby Home Hospital

This new hospital will serve not only the community surrounding the baby home but also the remote villages beyond. With high maternal and child mortality rates in Uganda, our hospital will be a beacon of hope, providing life-saving care during childbirth and offering vital family planning services. Additionally, the hospital will address the HIV/AIDS epidemic by providing medication and support to combat its spread. We ask for your prayers and support as we work towards completing the next phase of construction which is $152,000. Your contributions will help us continue this critical project and save countless lives in the process.

Our Aunties

The Sonrise Baby Home is staffed by several house moms (aunties) who are there to provide a loving and safe environment. They are our angels.

Meet Catherine, our Baby Home Manager. She helps on a daily basis visiting homes of our community children, takes babies to the hospital when needed, or helps Damali in any way needed when she is unable to be at the home. She is also responsible for running the Baby Home when Damali is with her family or when she is out of the country speaking to and visiting with our existing and future supporters.
