About Kirabo’s Well
After seeing the love given to our son from Kayabwe, Uganda, we knew we had to give back to his community.
ABOUT US
Kirabo’s Well was founded by Rebecca and James Nadauld in honor of their son, Kirabo. Their journey began when they adopted Kirabo at the age of three from Kayabwe village, whose community saved his life. Inspired by the villagers’ kindness and moved by their lack of access to fresh water, the Nadaulds established Kirabo’s Well to give back. They provide safe, sustainable water sources that ensure local children and families have access to fresh, life-sustaining water for generations to come.
