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 ...

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...

8/10/16  9:15am Since my trip in June we have been able to gather some new sponsors for several kids in our org. 10 very lucky kids who got gifts and supplies for school and will be able to continue being educated. A few babies will also be receiving food . We have more kids waiting for help. We want to reach out to those in the most desperate circumstances. Invite friends. This is the BEST WAY that we encounter new people who wish to help the needy! Thanks to all who have shared our posts and invited others to join us. Their lives are turning around. When this family below moved further away they thought they'd never see any of us again and never get help again . But we have done our best to keep them in our org and have made monthly visits to see their progress. Being a single  with mom 8 kids  and no job can't be easy. They receive food, clothing and small loan help to survive the harsh life in Africa. Nothing is simple in Africa and we are striving to show these...

9:13am 6/29/16 Exactly 2 years ago we started to think and plan about our future as a charity, We knew that with the amount of money it takes to sponsor 100 kids each month why not put that into running our own small school and hire the best teachers. Teachers who are kind, reliable, honest and having a child's best interest are incredibly hard to find in a land filled with corruption and everyone is trying to survive daily they don't often put the needs of others (especially kids ) above their own needs. But I know somewhere out there are some teachers with kids interests in mind. Sadly a really great teacher left one school last year . Our staff and our students really liked her and she seemed to genuinely care about kids and helped them learn and tutored them a bit extra.   Many schools cram students 50-100 per classroom and   care very little about those they teach. Beating kids with sticks is also very common and we really   want better ...

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.

Jan 14, 10:40 am    In Dec we provided 60+ kids with clothing and food in Mbiko.  We also gave food to 30 more needy families in the village of Kamuli where we also distributed multiple toothbrushes and pencils also.  Thanks to ALL DONORS who made this possible! See their happiness below .

9:43 am   Oct 30 , 2014 We have successfully raised enough for our Clothing bundle and bags of 6  food items for each village. Thanks Sponsors & Donors. Now the kids will have a good Christmas along with other family not yet helped by our program. Atleast 50 others will receive a food basket along with the along with nearly 50 other families who have kids sponsored by us. We will bring some joy to a very hurting land reaching several hundred kids and adults.                                       

The Betrayal of those who claim to "HELP" children. 10:43am     8-31-14 It all began in 2008 with 20 kids in a home who needed school fees. After 1 year of getting photos and even letters from them we found out the orphanage owner wasn't feeding them much except meal of "maize" a day and they were not attending a school regularly. The kids suffered so much and quickly moved on to live back at home with their families. The orphanage staff had only "recruited" these kids and while they were needy, most  were not orphans. Some had moms back at home who were just too poor to raise them. When they were promised a better life for the kids they let them go so they could have an education and meals etc which isn't what they got. Even when we mailed them clothes, shoes, toys most were taken and sold by the orphanage owner to make money for himself when he left the kids and just abandoned them all at home. After they went back to their o...

I want you to take a few minutes to think about what its like to live in deep poverty & step into the lives of the kids we help. If you've yet to help one now is the time. $15 a month is not much to change a life. YOU DON'T OFTEN EAT VEGETABLES . When you do they look like this & they come from your sponsor. and YOUR very happy to receive them  YOUR TYPICAL MEAL LOOKS LIKE THIS Rice, maize , beans or boiled bananas  YOUR DON'T OFTEN GET NEW CLOTHES. When you do they come from your sponsor or other visitors from charities like ours.                                                   YOUR HOME LOOKS LIKE THIS                                                          ...
