Katie Davis

Personal care for orphans

Within six years of returning to Uganda, Davis had taken 13 Ugandan orphans into her care, By 2022, she had adopted 13 children.

Davis documented her experiences in a decade-long blog that began the year of her arrival (through 2017) - entitled "Kisses from Katie". She also wrote two memoirs that became New York Times bestsellers: Kisses from Katie: A Story of Relentless Love and Redemption (2011), and Daring to Hope: Finding God's Goodness in the Broken and the Beautiful (2017).

Local & International disapproval

As of July 2011, one local child welfare officer, Caroline Bankusha, had publicly expressed concern over the planned adoption, stating, "Unless the children are placed under a children's ministry or children's home, which she [could] start... it is really bad for someone to have more than five children". The organization No White Saviors has seen Davis's work as an example of double standards in the treatment of local NGOs and white foreigners, comparable with Renee Bach.
