Helping the Children of Africa

Aug 8, 17   6:48pm Baby Abu is the 2nd child we've found in such bad condition. The only other starving child we found was baby Fatuma and she couldn't swallow well due to CP. Abu can walk but is weak and sucks his thumb constantly it see ms. He's lucky to be sponsored but his family situation goes beyond normal monthly sponsorship (mom is alone selling only sugar cane) and there is a sister who seems to be about 3.  Abu around 18 months to 2. They are lucky they had a mattress and net at home to share . The area of kamuli where they stay is Buwenge Mpia (the ghetto ) of kamuli. Where a few of our kids stay since rent is cheaper than in the town. its 10 mins or so walk from the tiny downtown. So we are wondering if any members would want to make a donation of any size to help with food, clothing or soap/ hygiene items and meds if needed. This will keep the family afloat for awhile until the mom can settle and figure out what else to do to earn a living. They only moved to t...

4-23-17  8:08 pm  Drought killed most of the harvest all over Uganda during Dec, Jan and rain has just begun. So this means food costs have sky rocketed and many  needy families are living on very little to survive.  Most are farmers with no options when their crops die. We are asking for $600 to serve our most needy families with food and other supplies. Thanks to anyone who can give to relieve the affects of drought and famine! Give on the link above!

9:53 am This area is called Kiwolera a small village in Kamuli , Uganda where we serve 6 or 7 families and nearly 30 kids live there. Only about 5 have a sponsor at this time. Most homes have a dirt floor and many kids were sleeping on straw mats or tiny pieces of old foam as you see below. That's their tiny bed. LETS GET A FEW MORE SPONSORED SINCE School begins this week and there is a drought and high food prices. $15 a month helps 1 student stay in school. These families are all simple farmers raising greens or sweet potatoes. The harvests are small because of the intense daily heat and nearly 6 weeks with no rain . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilAZtnmJs0U&t=6s

3-3-15   11:20 a m  Now we raise funds for food to hand out in the 2 villages. Last Dec we helped 90 kids plus their parents & siblings with food.... We need at least $350 to help 60+ families.  Includes dried sardine type fish, oil, sugar, soap , potatoes or eggplants DONATE HERE with Paypal!   http://www.auntiesangels.com/ Most clothing sold an African outdoor markets is items sent from American thrift shops that did not sell. Most  families cannot afford to buy any clothing for their children even if its at the cost of a dollar or less when they make only $2 a day. Let's make sure some of these clothes get in the hands of those who need them most.

Oct 17th , 2013 7:46pm    After our trip earlier this month to UG we have registered some new kids as part of our program. They are part of a very poor village and they have never had a chance to get a sponsor until now. We need your support to ensure that every new child gets a sponsor to help cover their school fees and supplies! Spread the word to friends!!!  Go to www.auntiesangels.com then click on BE A SPONSOR to see photos of all the kids!!! We also went to around 30 homes and delivered some food such as maize, beans, sugar etc. See photos of our activities below. We served porridge to all the kids for breakfast and the line of kids was so long that we ran out of porridge .That was a stressful situation but we still bought some extra cookies, popcorn & chapati bread to make sure each child had something to eat.                             Above is the porridge and ...

1:08 pm June 9, 2013 One thing I've realized is there's no "comfort" in Uganda. The beds are lumpy, the pillows and sofa's are hard. The chairs aren't comfy and are few and far between. Most restaurants have only plastic lawn chairs for diners to sit in. There's dark orange dirt everywhere, your clothing gets covered in all that dust and its hard to wash off. Kids have to scrub clothes by hand and that's why their clothes are ruined and have big holes since they have to rub them so hard to get out stains. Most people don't "comfort" their crying children either. The parents or guardians of kids have a "they'll get over it" attitude and tend to ignore kids most of the time. Many parents don't ever hug their child.   People there walk 1-2 miles to get water from a well and also to get to school, the market, church, clinics etc. Most families can't even afford to ride in a taxi van or on the back of motor bikes that ...

June 5, 8:20pm So many kids need help to attend Secondary School in Uganda. Fees vary from $100-$180 per term there to get a high school education. Will you consider helping a child further their education so they don't drop out when primary school ends. Send us an email at info@auntiesangels.com or comment below if you'd like to find out more about how to help a teenage child. Here's a photo of some of our current Secondary Students.

Feb 18, 11:23 am I remember the little girl at school who hung her head when I said where is your bed. Another child said "She doesn't have one". She showed me her mattress that she puts on the dorm floor each night just like several of the other girls. They sleep 2  people to each twin size mattress. Sometimes more. She has no home and no family that wanted her. They were tired of her so she lives permanently at school until finishing grade 7 when she can move on to high school. There are so many kids like her. One's who need attention no matter their age. Even the teenage boys at the school liked playing with hot wheels cars and they always asked a lot of questions about their sponsors. It's hard to be a kid when there are no adults who can give advice and encouragement to them daily. It's a hard culture to live in also when kids aren't treated as the important people they are. So many kids are abused by relatives who don't want them. No ...

1:41pm 1-31-2012 Don't forget to order the Angels of Africa Choir CD. We hope everyone will consider buying one to support the choir who has worked so hard over the past year to perfect the songs.
