Today we care for 45 children through orphan care, sickle cell support and food outreach, and we are building a school and a borehole for clean water. Each one meets a real need, and each one is an act of love.
Some children have lost one or both parents. Others live with relatives who love them but cannot afford to feed them or send them to school. We step in so that every child has what they need to grow up healthy, safe and loved.
Sickle cell disease is common in Uganda. It causes severe pain, infections and tiredness, and without regular care it can be life threatening. Medicine, good food and quick treatment make a huge difference, but many families simply cannot afford them.
In the poorest urban communities, hunger is part of daily life for many children. Our outreach days bring people together around a hot meal. We listen, we pray and we look for ways to help families stand on their own feet.
Alongside our daily care for children, we are working on two projects that will serve our community for years to come.
Under construction
Many of the children we care for walk long distances to school, or cannot go at all. We are building a school close to home, where they can learn in a safe place, eat a good meal and be known by teachers who care.
Without clean water close by, families drink unsafe water and children, often girls, spend hours fetching it instead of learning. A borehole will give the children, the school and the families around it safe water every day.
