Mental health experts have called for mental support towards people who grow up in foster homes to help them fully recover.

While majority are perceived differently in society, the story of 21-year-old twins Achieng Deborah and Apio Deborah who were raised at Noah's Ark Children Ministry home Mukono from when they were just 10 days old is quite different.

Noah's Ark Children's Ministry home located off Kayuga road a few kilometres from Mukono town, is were we found these twin sisters Naomi Apio and Deborah Acheng who were abandoned by their grandmother in this ministerial home when they were only 10 days old.

The twins say it is not an easy task growing up without a clear background. Recounting their painful past evokes sorrowful thought and their faces cannot hide it.

Oriented by his belief in Biblical teachings, the founder of Noah's Ark Ministry's Children, Peter Buitendijk says each child deserves a home or a family.

Buitendjik says together with his team, their goal is to make sure that they trace the children's backgrounds and re-connect them with their families, though at times it is impossible.

Psychologist Nathan Kamara says children that grow up from ministerial homes sometimes need to be loved and supported by communities.

Kamara adds that such people both children and parents, sometimes never heal from the pain.

Blessed with a technical skilling Centre, Noah's Ark Children's Ministry is home to over 186 children with 50 caretakers.

Every child has the right to be protected from violence, neglect, abuse and exploitation, given that three quarters of Uganda children experience some form of violence.

Available data shows that 68% of boys and 59% of girls have experienced physical violence and neglect while one in three girls and one in six boys suffer sexual abuse.

The scars can last a lifetime and often result in mental health issues and psychological distress during adulthood.
