1. Introduction

Jerusalem Children Foundation is a community-based, faith-driven nonprofit initiative established to support vulnerable children in Jerusalem Village (formerly known as Lukooge). This transformation in name reflects a profound spiritual renewal and a new beginning for the community one rooted in hope, restoration, and purpose. 

Following a period of spiritual hardship believed to have affected the well-being and development of the village, a season of prayer and fasting brought renewed strength, unity, and vision. Out of this transformation, Jerusalem Children Foundation was born to address the urgent physical, educational, and social needs of the children in the community.
