Equip School for 500 Primary Students in Uganda

Here at the end of our Ugandan school year, we have three good news stories for you!

First, students have taken their national exams. This is a tremendous milestone for our students. Many of them never thought they could finish primary school - and this year eleven of our students have taken the secondary O-Level exams! 

Secondly, I'm happy to report that we are ready to complete the second phase of the desk project. A generous donor gave the remaing $2,500 to complete this part of the project, and Primary 4 & 5 classes at Calvary Primary School will have new desks for the next school term! 

Every time the children see improvements at their school, they know somebody cares about them. When we believe that these young lives are worth investing in, they also believe!

Finally,today(December 3)is #GivingTuesday - and Microsoft's YouthSpark Initiative is doubling your donations to our education program!

If you give $20, they give another $20.
If you give $100, they give another $100.
If you give $1,000, they will also give $1,000. 

To have your donation matched, use this link for our project  Education & Support For 500 Children In Uganda. Funds will go to support children in Uganda by paying school fees and providing food and supplies.

Thank you so much for lifting these children up and showing them that they can succeed!

Students recently finished mid-year exams. Thanks to YOU, the testing process is made easier with new desks in Primary 6 and Primary 7 classes. 

Like any other Doctor, Nurse, Teacher, Lawyer, and others, have gone through that time were they are tested to find out what they are made of. Their dreams are being put to test by a piece of paper and a number of questions. A challenge accepted by many though a few make it. At this point, every child for him or herself. The test comes with a storm whose waves shake up many so as to unveil what they are made of.

Amidst these little bright children, we have those whose dreams  to become Doctors, Nurses, Teachers, Lawyers, Bankers, Administrators, Managers, among other dreams that are being tested. Attitude, character, will, patience to pursue their dream is put to test as well to find out who are made out of steel – because at this point, only the strong survive.

As many have lost hope, failed to accept the challenge and tossed by the storm, but these have chosen to seize the moment to pursue their dream amidst the storm called the “TEST”. With smiles so broad, they have accepted to face the challenge, pursue their dreams regardless of the hurdles with the aim of having a bright future.

As the TOUCH Office Uganda, we are so much grateful to our sponsors who include Friends of TOUCH, Africa Harvest Mission Inc, Calvary Temple Worship Centre, Missionary Teams, amongst others who have given in everything to give these little children hope, moral and financial support, education, medical care, school supplies and others.

Many are in school today because of the support you have rendered us and we believe that as we look forward to The Outreach To Unfortunate Children’s hurts (TOUCH).

Together, we will help many realize their dreams, to many hope for tomorrow and a bright future!

Be an Champion for Children!
