From Kampala to NC: Single Black Immigrant Man Fosters 47 Children
Peter Mutabazi, a single Black immigrant man, has made his home in North Carolina a sanctuary for children in need. He currently cares for six children, including two foster children and three adopted ones, as part of the 47 he has taken in over the last eight years. Mutabazi's journey to becoming a foster parent is one of resilience and compassion.
Growing up in Kampala, Uganda, Mutabazi faced abuse at home, leading him to run away at just 10 years old. Despite his own challenging past, Mutabazi has transformed his life into a beacon of hope for countless children. He has adopted Isabella, Luke, and Anthony, and has opened his home to 47 foster children through the system.
Mutabazi's home is a testament to his belief in providing a loving and caring environment for children from diverse racial backgrounds. He shares his experiences as a foster dad on Instagram, reaching over 800,000 followers, to encourage others to consider foster parenting. As one of only 3% of foster care parents, Mutabazi's impact is significant and inspiring.
