Peter Mutabazi is an international advocate for vulnerable communities and children. He is a regional manager for World Vision, a keynote speaker, and the founder and creator of Now I Am Known.
He believes every child and young person, especially the forgotten, neglected, or abused, deserves to be celebrated; seen, heard, and known.
Peter is a single dad who has fostered 13 kids and adopted 1 (so far). When he's not speaking or advocating for others, he enjoys running, skiing, and spending time with his kids and his new puppy Simba.
Peter has lived a remarkable life and is building an incredible legacy. I’m so honored to share his story on the show. Grab a tissue. You’re in for a treat.

His experience growing up in an extremely abusive family in Uganda
How he ran away at age 10 to live on the street - and never returned home

What inspired him to start fostering children
How he ended up adopting one of his foster children - in spite of trying not to get attached to the children he fosters
How he connects with and holds empathy for the biological moms of the kids he fosters
The importance of BEING KNOWN, especially if you’ve been forgotten
