Tumaini Children’s Home is an orphanage run by Pastor Nicholas and his wife, Sister Maria, for 72 children. ‘Tumaini’ is the Swahili for ‘hope’ and that is what this home really gives for children from a nearby slum area of Kakira near Jinja. The children have very few possessions, but are happy, well looked after within the limitations of the home finding enough money to feed them.
