About St. Francis Revival Home

Our brief history

Background Information

St. Francis Revival Home is a licensed child care institution situated in Bwanda, Masaka Diocese, Uganda. It is operated by the Institute of the Bannabikira – Daughters of Mary Sisters, a Pontifical Religious Institute comprising indigenous sisters within the Catholic Church. Founded in 1910 by the late Archbishop Henry Streicher, the Institute was established to support the clergy in their evangelization efforts, with a particular emphasis on children, reflecting the spirit of motherhood inspired by the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Currently, the Institute serves in 17 dioceses across East Africa, operating 78 convents and comprising a dedicated community of 611 sisters of various ages.

At St. Francis Revival Home, we are committed to fulfilling a nurturing role for vulnerable children within our communities. Since 2011, we have provided comprehensive child care services, including:

  • Full-Time Residential Care: Offering a safe and supportive environment for infants and needy children.
  • Health Care Services: Providing essential medical care for children and impoverished mothers.
  • Educational Support: Facilitating education for disadvantaged children who have grown up in our care.
  • Additional Services: Including sanitation, counseling, home visits, foster care, adoption programs, resettlement and reintegration processes, and emergency assistance for pregnant mothers.

Through these efforts, we aim to uplift and empower the most vulnerable members of our community, ensuring they receive the love, care, and opportunities they deserve.
