Build Homes for 5 Women and their Children

It is with great pleasure to reconnect  again with you since my last update in October. I'm excited to share more about the ongoing activities at Kassanda Children’s Aid projects. In our previous report, KCA embarked on planting beans and maize. Unfortunately, heavy rainfall resulted in the destruction of the beans, which were vital for addressing food scarcity at Stephen Baker Farm and providing sustenance for our school children. Consequently, we will need to procure beans to meet the nutritional needs of both our school and farm communities.

I am delighted to announce that The Seed Junior School, under Kassanda Children’s Aid, is scheduled to commence its first term of the year on February 5th, 2024. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and supporters, the boys' dormitory has been constructed to accommodate students from distant areas, ensuring they can focus on their studies effectively. Additionally, efforts have been made to enhance the school's security, including repairing the school gate and installing security cameras, all made possible through donor contributions.

Through networking and advocacy, our orphanage school successfully secured 50 laptops from the Labadoo organization in Switzerland. However, due to logistical challenges, only 25 laptops have arrived in Uganda as of January 18th, 2024. Despite delays caused by concurrent events such as the NAM conferences, which have occupied the attention of officials, we remain steadfast in our commitment to providing our children with access to computer education.

We appeal to our esteemed donors to consider supporting Kassanda Children’s Aid in initiating income-generating projects for families at Stephen Baker Farm and assisting vulnerable children enrolled at Seed Junior School. Your unwavering generosity and support during challenging times are deeply appreciated, and we express our heartfelt gratitude. May you be abundantly blessed for your kindness and compassion towards our community.

Greetings to our beloved partners and friends! Here is a brief quarterly update from Kassanda Children’s Aid (KCA).

All our families under KCA on the Stephen Baker Farm received food and medication, in total we have 25 people residing there. We decided to give our dream project a try, to help meet the financial needs of our single mothers at Stephen Baker Farm by obtaining two pigs, so far they are growing well. They still lack a sheltering place, area to store food and feeding area. Due to theft and when breeding starts, this will be most helpful. I am praying daily for a donor to fund this need as the project will work well to assist with the many needs that arise from our generous house building project.

In rain season, we planted beans, cassava, banana plants, maize and vegetable greens. Unfortunately, we received a heavy hail storm which destroyed all our planted cassava and banana plants. We were able to replant the cassava again but our bananas we simply had to cut off the affected leaves and wait for new ones to come up.

Regarding school, we have 30 children who went back for their third term, which started on 18/09/2023. We managed to provide school uniforms to 150 children. It employed a woman to sew them and these really made the children love attending school, they feel so proud to belong to our school. We thank Mrs Stacy as she knows the donor who decided to fund this for our children We also finally got a borehole drilled for water, you can see the truck that came to our site to drill it. Lastly, we love our new stove that allows us to cook using less firewood. 

As you can see we are accomplishing much together with your help! Please consider giving however you can, whether prayer, your time or talents and finances to our organization. We always strive to use your resources to the best of our ability. We also love welcoming visitors if your heart would desire. 

Blessings and love abound!
