Jojo's story beautifully illustrates why family restoration is such an important part of the organization's work.

The goal is not simply to locate relatives. It is to help children rediscover belonging.

When people think about supporting vulnerable children, they often picture food programs, school fees, medical care, or safe housing. Those needs are real and urgent. But at Peter's Heart, there is another kind of restoration taking place—the work of helping children rediscover family and a sense of belonging.

For Joan Mwenda, supporting vulnerable children and families is more than a job — it is a calling grounded in compassion, service, and a deep commitment to helping people build healthier, more hopeful futures.

Peter’s Heart prepared a special outing and party for seniors to celebrate their transition to the next level of education, the Uganda Advanced Certificate of Education (UACE). The teens visited Forest Park to go ziplining, swim, bike, boat, and enjoy other activities.

For Peter's Heart co-founder Geoffrey Seruwu, caring for vulnerable children is not simply a role—it is a lifelong calling. As Lead Mentor, Geoffrey stands at the heart of the organization’s daily work, walking alongside children and families through both crisis and transformation.
