School in Uganda, Our Secondary Students

Hello Friends,

As many of you may have read on my blogs and Facebook, we are very proud of our children from our orphan village in Uganda whose test scored earned them admission to St. John’s Secondary School, a prestigious secondary school in Uganda. In past years, we have had children get admitted there, but this year was astonishing. We had 17 children qualify for admission, which is so wonderful! We are proud of our students and our teachers. I found this article, and I wanted to pass it on to all of you. It explains the school system in Uganda. The children we are talking about have finished P.7 (primary, level 7) and are starting S.1 (secondary, level 1). I hope this article helps.

Please, PLEASE, please let us know if you are in a position to help. We have had 4 children receive donations to help with their new school’s expenses and one receive half. We are so thankful for these donations, but that leaves 12 and a half children that need donations for their new school. Each child needs $250 for the new books, uniforms, and additional tuition because secondary books are quite more expensive than primary. Please consider helping us with this cause.

Here is one of our bright children that was accepted that remains unsponsored:


Trevor Kazibwe



Age: 11 (EST)

Village: Seeta

ID #: 5067

Trevor was brought to our village by his grandmother, who was no longer able to care for him. He had not been educated due to lack of funds. As it turns out, Trevor is a very bright boy who loves to learn. He has shown excellent ability in English, Science, and Social Studies. He is also a devout young man.

Please help us send Trevor to secondary school at St. John's. If you know of anyone that may want to pick up Trevor's sponsorship as well, please let us know. He is a remarkable child with a bright future ahead of him. Children like Trevor will change the world someday!

Thank you all of you for your support, whether it be donations or prayers or spreading of the news. We are truly blessed to have you! God be with you!

Please help me find a sponsor for Luke

Hello all,

You guys never let me down! I wanted to introduce an adorable, funny, smart little boy that is in our orphan village in Uganda, Africa, Luke. He doesn't have any sponsor. Can you all help me find a sponsor for Luke?

More about Luke:



Luke's mother brought him to our village. His father had died two years earlier of AIDS, and his mother, who also suffered from AIDS and extreme poverty, could no longer care for him. Luke shows to have a bright future ahead of him, and he has a smile that can warm anyone's heart. We are so blessed to have Luke in our village, and we need to find him a sponsor so we can continue to meet the needs of Luke and the other children in the village.

Please ask around and see if anyone is interested in picking up this sponsorship. He would make a great addition to any family, and he loves to write his sponsors and draw pretty pictures. Sponsoring a child is such a fulfilling act of kindness. Transforming the life of a child can help us transform the nation of Uganda.

Thank you for your consideration and your help! Please let me know if I can return the favor in any way!

Orphan of the Week - Gertrude

We have started a program that we like to the “Orphan of the Week,” in which we as a ministry try to get at least one child sponsored per week. This week’s Orphan of the Week is Gertrude Nabisenke.

We estimate her age to be 11 years old. She is now housed in Seeta, and her ID# is 6367.



Background information:
o Gertrude’s father died, and he left her mother to take care of seven children.
o Gertrude’s mother is jobless and has no way to support her children.
o Gertrude was brought to the orphan village with hopes to be able to go to school and be taken care of.
o Gertrude dreams of becoming a very powerful lady.

Help Gertrude have all of her needs provided for by becoming her sponsor or spreading the word with us to get her a sponsor. Full sponsorship, which will cover all of her needs as well as her tuition, is only $60 per month, or we can take two partial sponsors at $30 per month.

When you sponsor a child, you allow us to take in more children off of the streets of Uganda and put them in a loving home with a caring village!

To become Gertrude’s full or partial sponsor, call 972-307-LIFE (5433) and tell us you want to sponsor Gertrude! Or, you can email us at info@christianlifeministries.org.
