My story

Patrick's mother has a mental disability and became pregnant with an unknown father at the age of 17. Since she could not take good care of Patrick, both mother and Patrick were taken care of by Foodstep. Patrick's grandmother, with whom she lived, could not physically cope with the care of Patrick and his mother. Patrick is a sweet baby and everyone adores him. He regularly eats with the others and occasionally he still needs special food. Everything was moving and colors he finds interesting.

Patrick is supported by impact partner Project Foodstep

Foodstep in Uganda was founded 16 years ago by the Belgian couple Werner and Nathalie. They were touched by the distress of the many street children, children from the children's prison and severely neglected children. They started in their own home with 2, then 15 and eventually 50 children. They decided to buy a piece of land and create a warm house on it. Together with a team of social workers, foster mothers, staff for the administration, cooks, drivers, pastor, etc., Foodstep has grown into a beautiful, safe and loving place for the children. All the children who live there have been placed there by child protection and the judge, their situation was untenable. Children at Foodstep all go to school, receive good medical help, nutritious meals, social care but above all a lot of love!
