Mosaic will work with local churches to restore the childhoods of orphans living in child-headed homes. We will do this by connecting caregivers from the local community with child-headed households. Because of the devastating effect that AIDS has had upon Uganda, most of these caregivers will have lost their own spouses due to AIDS. It is our hope that Mosaic Care homes will bless the children as well as their care givers.

Once the connection between a child-headed home and a care giver is made, a care home can become the home of up to ten orphans. By limiting the number of children in each home, Mosaic hopes to provide a family environment for these otherwise destitute children.

Having a caregiver in their home will enable these children to be children again. They will no longer have to worry about where their next meal will come from. In stead, they can attend school and when they come home from school there will be an adult waiting to hear about their day.

Because we will work with local churches, the caregivers in Mosaic homes will be selected by the local church. In this way, Mosaic will ensure that the children who live in Mosaic homes have the opportunity learn about the love and saving grace of Jesus Christ.

In addition to blessing the children and care givers, we also hope to bless the local church by providing employment for their members and enabling them to fulfill God’s will for them, which we believe is sharing the Gospel and caring for those who cannot care for themselves.

The blessings of Mosaic homes, however, will not stop here. The children that live in Mosaic homes will need to be clothed and fed. They will attend local schools and will require medical care. To meet these needs, goods and services will be purchased from the local community. In this way, Mosaic homes will bless their communities and the blessings of a few are multiplied.

Mosaic has begun this important work on behalf of Daniel and Dorcas in Rukungiri, one of the areas hardest hit by AIDS in all of Uganda. Our plan is to develop a model for care homes first in Rukungiri village using Daniel and Dorcas’ home as a pilot. Then, with the Lord’s blessing, we hope to replicate this model in other villages throughout Uganda.

Will you help us?

In addition to providing caregivers for child-headed households, Mosaic also seeks to improve the living conditions of the communities we serve by partnering with other groups with expertise in the areas such as: animal husbandry and farming, education, health and safety (including water and sanitation), micro-enterprise, etc.
