Lutaaya grew up in the gutters of Kampala, started to attend a church, became involved in music, and started the African Hearts Orphanage. The organization’s target population is children who are living on the street, many of whom have been orphaned by HIV or abandoned or victimized by family violence. Our Juniors Abroad groups visit the orphanage when we travel to East Africa.
The organization currently runs two homes housing former street children in Kampala and Ssenge. Children living in these homes are taught the Bible and are provided with shelter, food, love and education.
