A Son Who Returned Home
Roots of Hope Foundation Uganda was born from a personal journey of struggle, transformation, and faith.
Kimera Paddy grew up in Nakabazi–Ruwaama Village, Rakai District — a place where many children grow up facing poverty, hunger, and limited opportunities.
As a young man, he left for Kampala searching for a different future. The journey was not easy. He experienced hardship and uncertainty, but God opened doors through people who chose to believe in him.
Through the kindness of organizations and friends including Engage Hope Ministries, Embrace It Africa, Literacy of Love, Mom Jana, and Rich, he received support, education, and encouragement.
But education did not make him forget his village. It gave him a responsibility.
He returned home not to escape his past, but to help transform it.
