History

​

We started our work in 2007 with a mission to look after orphaned or abandoned babies and young children in Kajo Keji, South Sudan.

 

Initially we looked after about 25 babies and children in a small orphanage (Charlotte Baby Home).  We were the only home in the country willing to take babies. Many of our children came to us as babies and we have cared for them ever since.

​

Due to conflict and bloodshed in South Sudan a few years ago, we evacuated our children to Uganda where South Sudanese refugees have been made welcome. We built a new ‘Children’s Village’ there, in Adjumani in the north of the country. The children moved into their new home in 2020. 

​

Today

 

Today we care for more than 70 children in Charlotte Children's Village. Many of the children have been with us since they were babies. We also care for several children in Kampala, some of whom were moved for medical reasons.

​

We are a unique, small charity. We do not have a political agenda or an expensive administration. Our goal is to create a safe and happy home for our children, and to give them what we all take for granted: care, love and a future.
