Called to Love
How a calling through dreams and a single abandoned baby grew into a thriving family of 50 children.

"Hello my name is Rachael Muggaga and I am married to Pastor Dominic Muggaga."
I am mother of 4 biological children: Cynthia Grace Muggaga, Favor Muggga, Priscilla Muggaga and Triumph Miracles Muggaga. But God's plan for our family was much larger than we could have ever imagined. God has also blessed us now with 50 children altogether as the tender love family living under one roof.
A Calling Through Dreams
In our early years ministry, ministering the gospel with my husband in evangelical outreaches, God continued to point me in the direction of children through dreams. This was consistent and I prayed to God about it. I dreamt several times and saw street kids coming to my bosom for comfort.
I didn't fully understand what it meant at the time, but the feeling of those children seeking comfort stayed with me long after I woke up. I kept these dreams in my heart, seeking God's guidance on how He wanted us to serve.
The Day Everything Changed
One day while doing community evangelism, we encountered a sad situation when a lady from the crowd brought forward an abandoned baby to our team. In that moment, the dreams I had been having suddenly became a vivid, pressing reality. This wasn't just a vision in the night; this was a real, vulnerable child needing immediate love and care.
We couldn't turn away. That abandoned baby became the seed of Tender Love Orphan Care.
Our Mission Today
Today, Tender Love is a refuge where vulnerable children find exactly what God showed me in those dreams: comfort, safety, and a place to belong. We raise these 50 children not as an institution, but as one large, joyful Christian family. Every day we strive to provide them with spiritual grounding, education, health, and most importantly, unconditional love.
We believe that hope precedes need. Before we ask for provisions, we want the world to see the dignity, joy, and profound potential in every single child under our roof. They are not defined by their difficult beginnings, but by the bright futures God has planned for them.
