Ewafe Project: 2023 Highlights
By Andy Brown | Individual Giving Manager
I hope that the following update on our Ewafe projects, reflecting on a few of our key highlights from 2023, is able to inspire you and provide further encouragement that your kind support continues to make such a life changing difference.
Ewafe Project - Reintegrations and Renovations
Over the past few years the demand for our Ewafe Project has sadly continued to increase. As such, we've had to make a number of adjustments and improvements to ensure we can fully support and care for the children who stay with us whilst we look for their family or find them foster care. Some of these include building a cattle enclosure and a brand new toilet block. In 2023 we rescued a further 33 children and reintegrated 20 children with loving families. As we move into the new year we currently have 86 children staying at the Ewafe home.

Ewafe Project: Autumn Update 2023

Exciting Renovations at the Ewafe Project
The Ewafe home has been a hive of activity this quarter! Last time we updated you on the cow’s new calf. Well in order to accommodate this new addition to the Ewafe home, a new cattle enclosure is being built. This sort of activity will help to encourage the home’s self-sufficiency and sustainability, helping ensure the long-term viability of the project and make it more resilient to external challenges. A brand-new toilet block was also constructed to accommodate the large number of children we have staying at the home. Despite the challenging nature of our work at Ewafe, the team have been doing an incredible job.
- Admitted 7 more children to the Ewafe home
- 85 children have received care, support and rehabilitation
- Reintegrated 2 children with family members

Ewafe Project - Record Reintegrations,
A New Calf & *Sophia's Story
The team have worked incredibly hard over the last quarter and have reintegrated a record number of children in any given three month period at Ewafe. The cow had a new calf, and the children have had the opportunity to learn how to milk the cow, and of course, drink the fresh milk every day!
- Admitted 11 more children to the Ewafe home
- 90 children have received care, support and rehabilitation
- Reintegrated 12 children with family members - a wonderful achievement!
- Placed a further 2 children into foster families
*Sophia, aged 13 years had spent 2 years and 3 months living at the Ewafe home. She had been living with an aunt in Kampala but had gone missing during covid lockdown and was referred to the local police station. Eventually, our social workers managed to find her grandparents in Mbale district (far Eastern Uganda). Her grandparents thought she must have died 'We put announcements on NTV television, Bukedde Newspapers and Bukedde television in search of our child but after a long time, we gave up because we thought our child must have been sacrificed but God is so kind to us that He protected our child.' Community members of the village Mbale district witnessed how happy Sophia’s relatives were and they thanked Ewafe for the great work of rescuing vulnerable children." * Name Changed
