about us
How we care for children
Budaka Cheshire Home helps vulnerable children and youth with disabilities to thrive through rehabilitation and quality disability services for greater self-sufficiency and self-development because every child deserves to be loved, safe, and have dignity.
We have 41 children and 24 adolescents under our care. Our goal is to help get these children and others into safe and loving families while also providing guidance and counseling so that the whole family can thrive. We're also providing support and family strengthening to 85 reunited families.
St. Francis Budaka Cheshire Home, a catholic-founded organization, was started in 1970 to reduce the number of children with disabilities left behind in schools, communities, and families lacking support and resources. The goal was to provide them with a safe space with love, medical care, rehabilitation, assistive devices, education, and meet their essential needs.
Over the past 52 years, over 7,000 children have passed through Budaka Cheshire. Many have found their place in the broader community and thrive within their families.
WHAT WE DO
Changing the way we care
Children should be families and kinship care, not orphanages. Kids have the best chance to thrive when they grow up in a family.
That's why we're committed to strengthening families, and we are shifting towards a family-based care model.
