Founded in 1958, the Child Welfare and Adoption Society has been devoted to its mission of providing temporary shelter for lost, abandoned, or rescued children with nowhere else to go.

Based in Nsambya, the organization operates Nsambya Babies Home, its main facility, alongside two other homes: Kankobe Babies Home and Nateete Family Group, where older children between the ages of 15 and 17 transition as they prepare for the next stage of their lives.

Nsambya Babies Home accommodates up to 30 children at a time, with over 120 children passing through its doors each year. However, ensuring consistent care remains a challenge, as different caretakers work morning and evening shifts.
