Welcome to the Good Samaritians
Where we value people, one child at a time.
Good Samaritans is a Christian, nonprofit community serving orphaned and vulnerable children from refugee families, with a special focus on children from the Democratic Republic of Congo now living in Uganda. We are rooted in Mbarara, Uganda, and supported by partners in Ottawa, Montreal, and across North America.
Our calling is simple and powerful: to provide a loving home, quality education, and the hope of Jesus Christ to children who have lost everything—but still deserve a future.
Since 2014, Good Samaritans has been walking alongside refugee and orphaned children, offering them food, shelter, schooling, and spiritual care. What began with five children has grown into a community of 18 children in our care, with a God-sized vision to reach 100 children and beyond. Every child in our care is a story of resilience, faith, and hope. With your support, we can help them grow into educated, skilled, and faith-filled leaders who transform their communities.
