A Conversation with the Man Devoted to Helping Orphans in East Uganda

Welcome to the first episode of the New Year! I’m thrilled to kick off 2025 by sharing an inspiring story from Uganda. A very different, and a very important entrepreneurial conversation.And yes we struggled with the Internet connection, but this conversation is too important not to publish. Please be patient as you listen in.In today’s episode, we’re joined by Mwanda Abel, a secondary school teacher and the founder of St. Kizito Hope for Orphans, a non-profit making a profound impact in the Eastern region of Uganda.Through the positive side of social media Mawanda and I met a few years back and I've been following his incredible work helping hundreds of children who are fed, educated and supported by him and his team.This is a story of a whole community coming together to help - from the ladies making the clothes for the children, from growing food, getting international support and interest - to the everyday support for the children in their care.Mwanda is doing incredible work, providing education, shelter, and a brighter future for vulnerable children through his orphanage and school support. From nursery to secondary education, the children not only receive schooling, but also essential support to help them graduate and build better lives.But the need is urgent. With 208 children in one school alone and 65 older kids in the orphanage, it's a massive task.In this episode, Mwanda shares his journey, the challenges, and how we can all make a difference. Whether it’s through sponsoring a child, donating, or simply spreading the word, every bit helps.This is a heartfelt conversation and learn more about how we can support St. Kizito Hope for Orphans and transform lives, one child at a time.
