In 2018, Masa and his mother, Namutosi Esther, opened their home to children who had nowhere safe to go. Many had lost their families and were living on the streets. Esther could not bear to see them suffer. So, despite having very little herself, she welcomed them into her home and gave them a family.
Today, Masa and Esther care for 71 children near the shores of Lake Victoria — children who are resilient, full of life and full of beautiful dreams.
Together We Share has been walking alongside Masa, Esther and the children since 2022. What began as a personal connection between Masa and Caroline has grown into a deep and trusting partnership, built on love, commitment and genuine human connection.
In 2025, Caroline and Tom founded Together We Share as an Austrian non-profit association to support the children more sustainably and build a secure future together.
How to support?
At the end of last year, the land where the children had been living was sold and their home was demolished. Since October 2025, all 71 children have been staying at school — a temporary solution that cannot continue much longer because the costs are far too high.
That is why we are raising €88,000 to buy land and build a simple, safe and permanent Children’s Home. A place where this family can live together again.
All donations received by Together We Share go directly into the project. Our association is run entirely by volunteers.
Thank you very much!

About us
In 2018, Masa and his mother Esther founded, their orphanage at Lake Victoria, 70 kilometers from Jinja in Uganda.
This was after a long period of war and chaos. People were in need - particularly children who had lost their parents. Esther couldn't bear to see the suffering of the little ones so she created a home for them. She chose hope over hopelessness and committed her life to taking care of the children. Masa came directly from graduating school to help his mother with the orphanage. Together they take care of 69 children aged 4 to 14. They rely on a very small business to generate some income to pay for food, rent, school fees and more, but it is never enough. They live with great uncertainty because they don't know where money will come from on any given day.
