Open Hearts for Orphans and Widows
We are helping Open Hearts for Orphans and Widows (OHOW), a Ministry and Orphanage located in a small East African village in Bugiri, Uganda. The orphanage is under the care of Katabalwa (David) Noe, founder and director of this Ministry.
The orphanage supports and nurtures 20 children aged 4 to 15 years as well as 5 widows. With your donations, David can continue to provide these deserving children with a loving, Christ-centered home where they can sleep, eat, learn, and live a peaceful life.
Your donations will help pay for:
- food to eat
- cooking fuel
- fresh water (no well is available)
- school supplies
- utilities
- essential medical expenses as necessary
We need the funding as an ongoing basis--for example a 10 dollar donation can feed as many as 5 kids per day. Our goal is to provide $750 per month to allow the orphanage to run without a feeling of scarcity, providing an environment for learning and living a Christ centered home.
OHOW is a non-profit, independent organization and relies totally on donations and sponsors for all its operations. Open Heart for Orphans and Widows does not receive any assistance from the Ugandan government at any level.
The efforts to support this Ministry have brought together a great team of God-loving everyday people and nurtured relationships between them. Please join us in our efforts!

Biography of Katabalwa David Noe: Director of Open Hearts for Orphans and Widows
Hello Everybody, thank-you for taking a minute to look into my ministry, Open Hearts for Orphans and Widows. It is my hope that after reading this that you will better understand who I am and what my mission is all about - my life and my ministry here in Uganda.
My name is Katabalwa David Noe, I grew up in Bugiri Village, Uganda, for many years wandering as a homeless child. I remember a man named Muchaf who would let me sleep in the corridor of his house. He would feed me when he could. I went to school a little bit. I’m unsure of my age because my parents died from HIV when I was maybe 5 years old. Homeless, I walked around looking for someone to help me.
I know the Lord was with me then. At some point I met Julius Kasubana. His family opened their home to me and helped me learn about Jesus Christ and I became on fire for the Lord. I began preaching the gospel; Julius and I would travel to villages and people would give me resources like food and clothing. I then met a mentor who ran an orphanage called Bugiri Children's Centre. The founder there, Masinano David, taught me more about God’s plan for humanity - for us to overcome our situation and live a spirit filled life, loving and caring for others. He taught me the bible and I became born again, giving my life to Jesus Christ in 2012. I continued traveling to villages preaching the gospel with Power.
God called me to where I am now, director of Open Hearts for Orphans and Widows in Uganda since January 2013. We are a registered not for profit organization and we don’t receive any support from the African government. Every day we strive to feed children who have no-one to provide for them. Before us, the children here lacked what you would consider basic necessities.
Many of the children go to bed hungry and wake up hungry because I do not have food to feed them. I pray and ask God, "What will we eat today?" because I can not buy food or clothing. It is very difficult raising children without food to give them.
