Tenderhearts Community Hub
Thank you for being here!
We are raising funds for a very special project in Buwofu Uganda - a multipurpose community space and innovative garden for abandoned and vulnerable children and elderly supported by Tenderhearts Children Initiative.
A Space with Heart — More Than Just a Building
This space will be so much more than bricks and mortar. It will be a place where children can find:
Safe shelter during rainy days for learning and activities
A kitchen and storage area to prepare and distribute nourishing food
A small farm to grow fruits, vegetables, and raise chickens — providing fresh food daily and teaching life skills
A loving community hub where children’s wellbeing comes first. Access to showers, water, food, fun, education, mentors.
We plan to use innovative urban or sack garden approaches to agriculture that will support sustainable supply and minimal water.
Who This Is For
The children, aged 3 to 16 have no family left but rely on the care and dedication of Community Guardians - extended family, elderly and caring community members. Joshua Mbogoli and his Tenderheart team work to support the guardians and the children in their care. Joshua was once a street child himself, and now, at 24, he’s devoted his life to creating a better future for these kids.
Why This Project Matters
By building this community space and farm, we aim to:
- Reduce daily food costs by growing fresh produce and raising chickens locally
- Teach children valuable hands-on skills in farming, cooking, and caring for animals
- Create a safe, nurturing environment for learning and play, even on rainy days
- Build long-term independence from external donations, empowering the community to thrive
This project is about dignity, empowerment, and hope — giving these children tools to shape their own futures with love and resilience.
Your Support Makes a Direct Impact
Every dollar you donate goes directly to Joshua and his team to:
- Purchase building materials and pay local workers to construct the space
- Buy seeds, tools, and chickens for the farm
- Equip the kitchen and storage areas for food preparation and distribution
- Provide ongoing care: food, clothing, medical supplies, and essentials
Current Needs & Costs
We are currently raising funds to finish the first three classrooms, furnish the classrooms. The next step will be purchasing more land and building the toilets.
NEXT STEP: Classroom materials and furnishings goal = 3,000.00 CAD
Trusted Partnership & Transparency
Tenderheart Children’s Initiative is officially registered as a charitable organization in Uganda, and we are committed to full transparency on all funds and purchases.
It is a joy to work with Joshua and to provide full transparency on all transactions. The funds raised here are delivered directly to Joshua, who coordinates purchasing and delivery of materials and resources on site in Buwofu.

Together, Let’s Build Hope & Growth for Buwofu’s Children
With your generosity, we can create a space that nourishes bodies, nurtures minds, and grows community — giving these children a foundation of love, learning, and sustainability.
Thank you for your kindness, your care, and your belief in their future.
With gratitude,
Becka
