The Bright Future School was founded on January 2nd, 2005, after a man called Atanazius Kajubwami (Arthur) noticed a growing problem in his community. Many children living with HIV/AIDS and others with disabilities were being neglected—overworked by others as if they were slaves, living on the roadside, or fleeing from homes where they were harassed by relatives. Some children chose never to return after leaving their families.

Arthur became deeply concerned and began bringing these children together, offering them training in dance and drama, craft making, vegetable growing, and providing scholastic materials to help them enroll in nearby schools. Arthur valued education and was heartbroken to see children being mistreated, denied schooling, and used for labor without any effort made to support their education—because to him, education is life.

He began with just ten children, and over time, the number of orphans in the project grew steadily. By 2007, there were 55 children, and today, over 300 have been helped. However, not all can be housed or supported together due to limited housing and resources.

The orphanage also conducts a population census of orphans under 18 years of age in Nteko Parish, where Nkuringo Orphanage is located. Currently, 300 orphans are registered in our records. Although registered, we are not always able to provide them with sufficient scholastic materials due to resource constraints. When funds are available, we supply students with what they need, prioritizing those who live at the center when resources are scarce.

We welcome support from anyone willing to contribute in any way to help advance the mission and goals of Nkuringo Orphanage.
