New Partnership

A couple months ago Jana from our orphan department met with a young lady to discuss The Pillowcase Project. During there meeting Jana noticed a pair of sandals on Andrea's feet and asked where she got them. Andrea explained that they were from Uganda from a company that helps Uganda women go to college through working at this place. Jana came back to the office excited about The Pillowcase Project and the potential of the sandals lingered in the back of her mind. (Below: the sandals that started it all)This is where her heart for our ministry and the people of Uganda came into play. She researched the company, Sseko Designs, and fell in love with what they do and saw the potential for us to partner together. She made contact with Liz, the founder of Sseko, and they discussed the partnership relationship. (Left: Liz and the women behind the sandals)

We are now considered a Sseko Amabassador as we will be helping these young women attend college while at the same time raising money for our ministry and the needs we have in Kampala. If you donate $45 to our ministry we will send you a pair of Sseko Sandals and for an additional $10 donation you can get an extra pair of straps. Please be sure to contact us directly in order to be a part of this vision!

Great news about our future school!

As many of you may know, we are planning to build a permanent school in the village this summer. The UKids mission team will be in Uganda to make this happen this summer, and they have been hard at work fundraising for the project.

In fact, they just completed a fundraising event, the Bowl-A-Thon, in which they raised $22,000! Praise God!!

We are challenging donors with buying a classroom for $7500 each. We have at least 5 of the 15 classrooms purchased. I am calling donors to help with this cause. Please help us provide a permanent school for our children.

We staff this school with all-Christian faculty so the we can make sure the education that our children are receiving is in line with our faith and our mission. We built our temporary school structure last year, and the results from that have been tremendous! We sent 17 children to the prestigious St. John’s this year after their entrance exams were so phenomenal! What smart children led by a brilliant staff!

Please consider donating to this cause! Every little bit counts! If you are part of a prayer group or church, see if you can challenge your fellow members to cover the cost of a classroom or two!

Please call on your community to help you with this cost! We appreciate all the help you can give.
