Renowned Ugandan philanthropist Ronald Richard Ddamulira, popularly known as "Mr. Attitude," has launched a new orphanage in Bukulula, Kalungu District, aimed at transforming the lives of vulnerable and abandoned children.
The facility, named Ddamulira’s Haven, is designed to provide care, education, and emotional support to children who have lived without stable homes or guardianship. It has already garnered praise from the local community, with many describing it as a beacon of hope.
During the official opening, Ddamulira emphasized his commitment to ensuring every child is given a chance to thrive.
“No child should ever feel forgotten. Every child deserves love, a warm bed and the opportunity to dream big. This orphanage is not just a building, it’s a family,” he said.
The launch was marked by emotional scenes, including songs and dances by the children, who welcomed guests with joy and radiant smiles. Local leaders and community members in attendance commended Ddamulira for his continued efforts to support vulnerable populations.
Well known for his work across Uganda, Ddamulira has supported numerous causes, including education and women’s health initiatives. The establishment of the orphanage represents a major milestone in his philanthropic journey, which he says is deeply rooted in faith and compassion.
Ddamulira’s Haven includes well-equipped dormitories, a dining area, and a recreational space. Plans are underway to establish a primary school within the facility to further enhance educational access for the children.
As the sun set over the new home’s inauguration, many left inspired—witnesses to what some described as a powerful reminder that compassion and action can still change lives.
