Since visiting Uganda I've learned so much more about how the kids are treated there.
If you are a step child you'll never be treated well. Step kids have to work and do almost all the chores at home. They are sometimes denied education and even food. Some have to sleep on the group outside their home. Aunts and Uncle and even grandparents sometimes neglect and abuse the orphans they are caring for since no one wants to raise someone else's child. The poverty is so awful there. Not just a lack of money but a lack of love and care for children in general. Kids as young as 3 are free to roam their villages. Usually No one comes looking for them they just wander from house to house playing with other kids. Food prices soared to record highs in Uganda within the past year so its even harder for a family to feed their children.
Some kids live at school because their relatives have turned them away and said don't come back home.
They are whipped with sticks and even cut with knives sometimes. Abuse is rampant there. So that is why child sponsorship is SO IMPORTANT! If a child can't rely on their own relatives, then if a kind stranger steps in to help a child get an education is a really amazing thing. Most of these kids think no one cares for them but if a sponsor can write letters to them and encourage them it really helps a child to have more confidence. $15 a month helps a child get an education and 2 meals at school each day. Will you consider sponsoring a very needy but wonderful child today? Click on our yellow Donate button it will take you to pay pal. You are also welcome to make a 1 time donation if you can't commit to helping a child long term.
