Helping the Children of Africa

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 bad position because sch

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!

April 2, 2017 4:33 pm We've had so many illness within our org recently. Kids getting sick , parents being injured on motorbikes, many people getting malaria from the rainy season. One child with HIV is very sick right now and needs to be hospitalized but we've always tried to use $100 of a child's school fee for that certain student. Funds can't be prioritized for other more urgent things If a family loses a house (and typical rent for our families per month is $10-$50) and we could help them for a month or 2 to get settled. Some families have emergency food needs So if anyone would like to donate to this fund this would be great. The needs are so vast and can't be covered through monthly sponsorship (which is tuition and meals only) If someone doesn't want to help a child monthly why not give an occasional gift of $10 or $20 Typical hospital costs range from $20-$100 this is far from what a poor Ugandan family can afford. With our help this can save a

While walking through the villages a child would want to carry your water bottle, bag, camera etc. The would all fight to be right next you or hold your hand. I've never met children that are so needy but so polite and kind. Most kids at the school had old torn clothes on and their sock had holes. Most kids really need new school socks and shoes. Socks are $3 if anyone wants to give through pay pal. Click the YEllOW Donate button at the top of the blog! Any amount helps the kids. When I left they had only bag or rice and 1 of Flour so their food will not last long. To feed 140 kids daily it takes a lot of funds. Some kids didn't even have a bowl and they had to share with others. Almost none had spoons so they all eat with their hands and spoons only costs 30 cents. The kids are very smart but they have S
