Uganda: Orphanage Swindles Donor Money

THE memories still linger. Of little children chattering around, climbing walls and scampering for porridge. They screamed and, like tiny birds chirped around their 'mother'- a dark-skinned woman with a tardy accent. Her name - Pastor Florence Athieno.The year was 2009. The place? Love Ministries Orphanage in Kisimu village in Nabweru sub-county in Wakiso district. Two years down the road, everything is gone. Love Ministries has been closed.

LOVE Ministries has been dragged to Police by its Australian funders for embezzling funds meant to support the orphanage. Forget Me Not Children's Home (FMNCH), a registered Australian children's charity, has been supporting the orphanage for the last one year.
