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...

NOTE: This post isn't intended to bash parents in Uganda but to simply point out the  incredibly large differences in how kids are handled and how usually their best  interests aren't considered. Most of this is due to Ignorance because the parents aren't educated.  They end up making the worst possible choices for their kids and our program and the kids suffer because of this.  Many times over these 6 years of an official "Sponsorship program"  we've seen parents pick an expensive school (not on our list of chosen schools) and move their child to it without our knowledge or consent.  May 25, 17   10:56 am  Then they try and stick us with the bill which is higher than  any schools we've chosen. So even when parents agree to pay the difference  whatever that may amount to (usually $30-$50 more a term per child ) and 90 % of the time  parents fail to even $5 or sometimes nothing at all . Then again a child is left in a ...

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 ...

PROVIDE CHICKENS TO NEW VICTORY SCHOOL! Chickens cost $3 each and provide a good source of food and the kids learn valuable skills by raising the chickens.

These are photos taken in the village where many New Victory students live. Consider donating to make their lives better. Videos are below.
