Unlocking Opportunities Through:
Housing
Rabondo Guest House
Providing a Place to Belong:
The Rabondo Guest House began with Timon’s vision of creating a welcoming place for people visiting the village. What started as a small shack grew section by section as Timon arranged for its construction while living in the United States. Intended to give visitors, students and anyone needing support a place to stay, the home became known simply as “the Guest House.”
Today, the house primarily serves students supported by Rabondo Community Project.
Built with Purpose:
Continuing Timon’s Vision
Following Timon’s passing, Rabondo Community Project took responsibility for operating and caring for the house. This continues his wish for the home to serve the community as a primary residence for students in the program who do not have access to housing otherwise.
The guest house carries forward Timon’s commitment to the people of Rabondo. Through its daily operation, RCP helps preserve the home he built and the welcoming spirit that inspired it.
A Home for Students:
Care, Connection, and Community
While most students are at boarding school during the school year, the house typically supports 5-10 students full time. When school is not in session, on average 30+ students stay at the guest house. Students pursuing university studies also remain part of this community, with the house offering a place to return as they continue their education.
Another full time resident of the house is Night. She has the role of a caretaker helping with cooking, cleaning, and child care. Her work supports the everyday routines that make the house a home: a shared meal, a cared-for space, and someone present to help & mentor.
Inside the Guest House:
Space to Gather and Rest
The guest house includes a main living room and a dining room that seats approximately 20–25 people, providing space for students and guests to gather and share meals. A kitchen supports daily meal preparation, while hallways connect the shared living spaces to bedrooms and bathrooms.
Sleeping accommodations include a boys’ room, a girls’ room, a young children’s room, and a guest room with a twin bed. These spaces help the house welcome both students and visitors.
Keeping the Door Open
Your support helps Rabondo Community Project maintain the guest house and provide daily care for the students who rely on it. Contributions help meet the ongoing needs of the home, including meals, upkeep, and household supplies, while continuing Timon’s vision of a welcoming place for others.
