Home - Happy Hearts Orphanage

Our History and Background

Happy Hearts Orphanage was founded in response to the growing number of orphaned children in Northern Uganda, many of whom are refugees from South Sudan. These children have been orphaned as a result of conflict, disease, and other tragic circumstances. We believe that every child deserves a loving home and a bright future, which is why we are committed to providing them with the care and support they need.

Children in South Sudan become orphans every day, every week, every month, and every year due to a combination of factors including conflict, hunger, natural disasters, and related diseases.

These challenges are further compounded by a lack of access to nutrition and healthcare. The ongoing conflict in South Sudan has resulted in the displacement of millions of people, leaving many children without parents or caregivers.

Additionally, the country faces high levels of food insecurity, with many children suffering from malnutrition. Natural disasters such as floods and droughts also contribute to the orphan crisis in South Sudan. Without adequate nutrition and healthcare, children are more vulnerable to diseases, further increasing the number of orphans in the country.

Negective effect of conflict on children

Conflict can have profound negative effects on children, impacting their physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. Some of the key negative effects include:

Conflict disrupts food supplies and access to healthcare, leading to malnutrition and increased vulnerability to diseases among children.

Conflict can lead to the separation of children from their families, either due to displacement or other circumstances, causing emotional distress and long-term challenges in reunification.
