Welcome to OHOW

Open Hearts for Orphans and Widows

A Compassionate Mission in Aid of those in Need

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 21 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.

The orphanage supports and nurtures 21 children aged 1 to 15 years
Katabalawa David Noe came to me two years ago with a dream in his heart. His dream was to build and expand his orphanage. He is a man of God, he came into this world with a broken family unit, and no place to eat, no place to sleep, no place he could call home. By the grace of God he met a lovely woman who took him in and she took other orphan children as well. Now Katabalwa lives only to serve God. He has two jobs -- one is to drive hours from the orphanage to another town to deliver goods, food, and other supplies for people in need. The people in Uganda do not have a welfare system nor do they have no access to an economy that will work and flourish the way Americans do. They count on us to provide donations. The Holy Spirit convicts me of many scammers, I trust the Holy Spirit fully and I trust his guidance the Holy Spirit showed me time and time again to trust this man. He does God’s will so I supported him through monthly donations until the end of 2020 when I lost my job due to Covid. At this time we need you to to help make this man’s dream come to fruition he is a miracle and a blessing in our life. Last year we sent a box of toys clothes and sandals for the children he took pictures of the children with these items and it blessed our hearts... may your gift to him and his children bless your heart too!
