A LOCAL FAMILY

Provides a loving, Christian home for our children while equipping them with family values and life skills they need to excel and to become responsible citizens.

GLOBAL FAMILY

Our Global Family in Christ consists of global partners who empower Umuryango to fulfill its mission.

KINGDOM IMPACT

We feel called to making a positive impact on the Kingdom of God by helping our children become the men or women God intended for His own glory.

Staff sponsorship provides reasonable monthly stipend for teachers and children's care takers. 100% of the sponsorship goes to the recipient; there are no overhead costs.
