Willgive Hearts Africa Foundation began in 2013 as a small outreach ministry operating in Luuka, Kamuli and Kaliro District. It was founded by the late Ngobi Josephine Rose who had a passion for helping the needy in her community. From childhood, she dreamed that when she was financially able to, she would go back and make her community a better place.

Her parents, Pastor Mutagaya and Mrs. Kayanga helped nurture Ngobi’s dream by bringing her up in the ways of the Lord. As the Scripture says: “Train up a child in the way he should go, that when he or she is grown, they will not depart from it” Proverbs: 22:6. With this strong foundation Ngobi Rose’s life, it was only to be expected that her life would bear much good fruit.

In 2014, after Rose completed her theological course under the sponsorship of Mrs. Mugogo Rose Annie, she decided to ask her sponsor, Mrs Rose Annie, on how she could repay her gratitude towards her. She had already adopted Mrs Rose’s surname. Mrs. Rose said, “Do to others what has been done to you”. This was a perfect confirmation of what the Lord had placed for so long within Rose’s heart.

The Late Ngobi Josephine Rose opened the Foundation called Josephine Orphan Children Organization and later changed to Willgive Hearts Africa Foundation Uganda in 2018, and in 2022, the foundation was officially registered by the late Ngobi Josephine Rose’s only son Isabirye Godfrey Ngobi as a Company Limited by Guarantee with registration number 102 and in 2023, WHAF was officially recognized as An Indigenous NGO by the government of Uganda with NGO Registration Number 80020003787528 and Permit Number 0509/2022.
