PETER’S STORY

Peter Mutabazi founded Now I Am Known, an organization that supplies resources to support vulnerable children. Originally from Uganda, Peter ran away from an abusive home at age ten and lived as a street kid for nearly five years. Today, Peter is a single dad to countless foster children and his adopted children, Anthony, Ryder, and Skyler.

OUR IMPACT

Every child deserves a space like home—a sanctuary that echoes their unique spirit and aspirations. Through our Surprise Bedroom Makeovers, we transform the rooms of foster kids and teens into personalized havens of comfort, joy, and belonging. Because when a child feels seen, they feel known. And when they feel known, they shine.

THE FOUNDATION

As an African-immigrated citizen AND a former foster child himself—Peter provides educational, inspirational talks on foster care, adoption, child advocacy, and parenting. Peter has overcome a variety of life challenges, and he encourages listeners to love those around them and choose to see the hope in their stories.

“I never thought it was possible to make a difference in the world, but Now I Am Known AS a beacon of light and hope that proves good things are possible. “

Surprising Lessons I Learned as a Foster Dad to More Than 40 Kids

“Peter’s blend of personal stories and practical advice offers a roadmap for healing and connection that every parent and child could benefit from.”

–Tori Hope Petersen, bestselling author and speaker

Our Foundation's Objectives and How You Can Help

There are hundreds of thousands of vulnerable children in foster care, but that means there are TONS of opportunities for you to get involved as an advocate!

  • Research local organizations and ask how you can support foster families in your community

  • Become informed about foster care (subscribe at the bottom of this page!)

  • Like and share our message on social media to raise awareness of the vulnerable children in the system naturally

  • Grab some words-of-affirmation swag and other merchandise from our gift shop to support the Mutabazi family

  • Support our foundation (the foundation allows Peter to be a full-time foster dad AND advocate for other foster children!)

Our founder was once a street kid refugee until a stranger took him in. Our mission is to see every foster child know their worth and experience love and acceptance in this world (hopefully, in the home of a loving family!)

Will you step in to support our foundation's work to see every child experience a loving family?
