A look into their daily lives! Children in Uganda

May 13, 2013 7:53pm
Below are true stories of some of the kids who attend school in Jinja and they have found sponsors in
our charity.
One child was sent to live at school and her little brother was sent to live with a neighbor since their mom
can't afford to pay rent. The mom used to come and dig in the school garden to make some money and she would even eat at school since she couldn't afford food either. 


Two kids had a fire at their home last week .
They have said there was some damage to the home and it will need to be repaired but no one was hurt,
They did lose almost all of their possessions in the fire which wasn't much to begin with.
Many of these families barely have anything.



One boy was abused by his uncle and made to work everyday and missed a lot of school.
 He had no parents to care for him. 

One girl was given away by her father who got tired of raising her and was then abused by her aunt who cut her arm. 
Several have been told to leave their homes because their relatives are not wanting to feed, clothes and care
for them anymore. 
Many have no father, they either flee to another village or even another country to try and find a better
life and they never returned to care for their children. The kids often get malaria and typhoid. Both are deadly diseases if not treated quickly but many can't afford a few dollars for medical care.

So you can see what these deal with daily. Not knowing if they get to eat that day.  Imagine if you lived like they do. 
That's why its So Important for a child to have a sponsor. Won't you help one today?

These kids still need a sponsor!

We've raised $30 far. For some reason it does not show up on Chip in. Maybe because some people click donate instead of Chip in. So that's $30 of around $550 that I'd to raise. The kids need a few more mattresses and shoes etc. The also need more nutrious food. Sept 13, 1022pm These are some of the kids from the Home. Hope you enjoy the video.

NEW SHOES!!! March 17,2010 2:13pm Here's the kids with their new school shoes! Thanks to all who gave so the kids could have shoes! They still need help paying their rent and to buy chickens to raise. So if you can donate again it would be wonderful!!! You can see in the photos that your money is ALWAYS used exactly as specified!!! URGENT UPDATE 3-13-10 9:50 am The Orphanage is needing help paying their rent. They have to move to a new house since the one they are in now has been bought by somone and they are being forced to move within a week. All the kids are crying and worrying about where they will go since they don't have $100 (monthly) to rent a new house. Some of the kids wouldn't eat because they were too sad yesterday. Won't you donate and help the kids move to their new house? If they don't have the money by next week they will just be on the street with no place to go. They Need Your Help Now More than EVER! They are praying for somone to Help! Donate...

...................URGENT 8 kids can't go to school if they have no fees!

This is Urgent!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The kids need fees by May 25th to go to school. 6 kids have fees already so that leaves 8 without fees. I soon hope to be selling Ugandan necklaces to benefit these kids also. Won't you consider buying an African craft or pay a child's school fees? It's only $15 a year! 8 kids will not attend school if they no fees and these kids all live together in the Orphanage, they are like brothers and sisters and if some kids attend school while the others can't it would sad. So consider making a donation for the kids even if it's only $1 or $5 they will be SO HAPPY! THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE DONATED SO FAR!!!
