MERRY CHRISTMAS 2023!

 Hello there

Its been a long silence here but all is well, we will be sending individual updates to sponsors about their children and enlightening you about the changes taking place here, which are for the good of the program.

We thank you for your continued support all these years. Surely you have made a big difference in the lives of the children.

As usual, they are in their holidays now and we desire to make this Christmas special.

In case you have a gift for your child please let us know through our usual contacts. We will be sure to buy the gift right away. Alternatively, since not every child gets a gift from their sponsor, you could support us buy a gift for every child. Last year we were supported to buy solar lamps for them and they were very happy.

A full set of clothes for each child would cost 300 SEK. That would amount to 300 times 15 which is 4500 SEK for all of them.

God bless you all and....

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

TERM 1 2022

 We are glad to report that our children are now drawing close to the end of first term of 2022.

They are catching up well after having been affected by the Covid 19 lockdown.

We are currently visiting each family to assess their needs and progress. More updates will be sent to individual sponsors in the course of time. 

Lets keep the vigor and spirit of compassion, one day these children will look back as successful adults and be very thankful for the life changing interventions.

 

 

END OF 2021 OUTREACH

 

We had a general community outreach at the end of December 2021 where we reached out to all supported families plus many more.

It was done in partnership with CHAIN OF LOVE FOUNDATION, another child care organisation.

Some of the activities included:

A ...Children's fellowship and gift sharing. Children and their families received Christmas packages and school supplies.

B... Visits to selected homes in the community with a word of hope.

C...Youth workshop. We had a fun time with them as our visitors discussed about education, career etc

D...Liquid soap training. Some youth were trained on how to make liquid soap. This skill can be used to improve ones welfare through working for others or starting their own business.

E...We donated the soap made to a rural health centre and a street children rehabilitation project in our community.

F...Community work. We helped to construct a toilet for one of the vulnerable families in the 

community.

Thank you for your partnership that makes all this possible!

 

We hereby bring you some pictures.

Our supported children are now back in school for the first term of 2022.

NEW KITCHEN

 

As we continue to work towards improving the lives of our children and their households, we have identified a critical need that we thought to share with you as our treasured partners and friends in this struggle.

 It’s about the state of the kitchen of the family of MIRIAM CYIMPAYE, one of our supported children. As seen in the pictures, its incomplete and in a poor state. When it rains (its rainy season now until January) they can’t use it and have to cook from inside the main house. This puts the house at risk of a fire outbreak.

 Miriam lives with her grandparents who are too weak to work well and bring in sufficient income to ensure a good standard of living. We are now reaching friends for contributions so that we construct a new kitchen and store for this family.

The budget for the new structure is 14,000 SEK.(Or approx 1,400 USD)

 

Any contribution to this noble cause will be highly appreciated!

 

 

SEPTEMBER UPDATE

 Greetings

We thank God for you our dear partners. Many regards from all of us here. Our Children are doing well, though still undergoing home study due to the suspension of schools. In this time, we are having several activities to keep them engaged and support their families.

The lockdown negatively affected work for many peaple; businesses are still struggling to get back to normal operations. For this reason, we started distribution of food and other relief items. This will be an ongoing program as funds allow, we are therefore requesting well wishers to donate to this relief effort so that our children don't drop out of school due to intense difficulty at home.

We are also supporting a few older ones to do small scale business in the market, selling simple items like sugar canes, avocado etc. It helps their mind to stay constructively engaged and many children here are doing it to get little money to keep them going.

We also resumed our regular workshops with our teenage girls. It was necessary to have these interactions with them to keep them focused and get updated on whatever challenges they may be facing.

Finally, on a lighter note...

Today, 5th September, is the birthday of Nathan Kaija!!!
