The Divine Mercy Baby Home
The Divine Mercy Babies Home in Boma, Mbarara Municipality, Uganda, was founded in 2011 by Father John Baptist Bashobora with the support of American Friends of the Father Bash Foundation. Under the guidance of the Father Bash Foundation, it cares for 175 + abandoned infants and children.
This home emerged in response to a growing crisis of abandoned children in the area. Newspapers and communities reported daily on children in dire straits, malnourished, injured, and in need of immediate care.
Initially focused on orphans affected by AIDS/HIV and displaced by regional conflicts, the Foundation's reputation for helping abandoned children grew. Father Bashobora, himself an orphan, understood their needs for love, shelter, medical attention, spiritual support, and encouragement.
Every child has a unique story upon arrival. Some are found in pit latrines, others in garbage heaps, and some are left in plastic bags to suffocate. Survivors bear scars from their ordeals. Babies born with disabilities are also welcomed, often rescued by the police and brought here.
