Passing the Baton:  Strategic Growth & Prayer Priorities for MCH Dear MCH Community, As we step into this new season, I   (aka maama Sue)  want to share an update on the journey and transitions taking place at Momo Children’s Home.   When this ministry began, I took on the role of spiritual oversight alongside a handful of faithful friends who also stepped in to help meet the immediate practical needs for food, clothing, medical and housing.

As of June 18, 2026 , we have officially signed an agreement with our new Fiscal Sponsor, the Christian Ministry Alliance (CMA) !

Maama, thank you so much for asking. ​ I am so happy to share how God answered our prayers. We started our day very early with all of our children, and we stood together in prayer from 8:00 a.m. until 9:30 a.m., putting the whole day into God's hands. After our prayers, we began preparing everything and making sure the house was completely ready. Then, we started waiting for our visitors to arrive. Suddenly, heavy rain started pouring down. Because of the storm, she could not reach us at the exact time we expected, and our hearts were full of worry. We had been waiting and praying so hard, and it felt like we were waiting for a very difficult exam that we could not bypass. Bu...

Meet Dr Steven

Meet Dr Steven - A Vital Supporter of the Momo Team We’re thrilled to welcome Dr. Steven.   31 years old, married with one child, Dr Stevens is a practicing MD for the past 9 years and is currently pursuing a Masters to specialize in pediatric care.   Dr Steven and James met when James' father was sick and admitted to the hospital he worked at.  Since then, he has maintained a relationship with James as a brother.   When James started to take care of the children Steven saw it as something great and a sign of love and responsibility.  Dr Steven loves to help those in need, and sees the work with the Momo children as a blessing to watch them grow with happiness as they're being equipped to make and do something for themselves. With his deep commitment to service, he’s already helping us work toward meeting the most urgent health needs of the children. He’s: Training James in basic "at home" medical care Helping James and Team recognize wh...

Answering the Call - Aunt Jodianne

Finding Family.   A Life Changing Experience by "Aunt Jodianne"  After looking over the vetting report from Africa Missions and seeing this is real, the Holy Spirit placed a heaviness on my heart all evening long. I remember I kept looking at the children ...  the outside latrine the dirt floor in which they had to eat the scarce bit of food that they had  They also had to sleep on that dirt floor as they have no "real" beds. I remember noticing that many had no shoes on their tiny feet.  Well, needless to say The Holy Spirit did not let me rest that evening.  The next day I remember messaging Sue, the leader of our Mentoring Team who has been working tirelessly for these precious children & the whole caregiver team. Sue has been discipling James since October of 2024.  I expressed to her that The Holy Spirit placed this family heavily upon my heart. A few days later I received a message from Sue asking me if I would like to join her and...

Our Story

OUR STORY ... FROM THE BEGINNING  This video is “our story - in the beginning” - a window into the everyday life of this FAMILY of orphaned and OVC (Other Vulnerable Children) and their caregivers we lovingly refer to as "Momo Children's Home".  Prayerfully, it captures what restoration looks like when love shows up consistently, and offers a glimpse into what the children and their caregivers face daily - real needs, real hopes.    May it stir our hearts to respond, and to remember that opening our hands is sometimes how we most clearly show that Jesus cares. Note: To see current updates on the children and Momo Team, and how God has worked through your prayers and generosity click the label "Update"  Who is behind this and why are we doing this?  Momo Team James  founded Momo Children's Home.   He and the  "Momo Team"  ( N yombi  Julius , Kambugu  Fred , Nakayemba  Lydia , Namusisi  Olivia )  are the caretakers...
