PROVIDE EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN IN RAKAI UGANDA

God has really blessed us this first quarter of 2025! We have about 290 children attending this session of which atleast 80% are orphans. We aquired 7 acres of land adjacent to our own and have a few goats and have begun to plant coffee, beans, and maize to feed the children and to sell to create income for the school. We also have been allowed to have two classes that are getting ready for the national exam. Uganda has a national test students must pass to move on to high school. We also had more desks built and have completed the teachers' dormitory building as well so our teachers can live on site instead of walking several miles each day to teach. And thanks to the Water Step not for profit, we have added another water catchment and storage system.

God is bringing so many children from many villages and we are growing so rapidly that we greatly need your help to provide for these children! We have some of the children living onsite now and desperately need to build dorms and more restroom facilities for them. We also are located in a very rural area and do not have electricty so solar power is much needed as well. A well on site is another need we have as our children walk buckets to a regional water source now each day. We have water storage/catchment but those are shared with Mpunge village where we are located so our daily needs can't be met any longer by those alone. A well on site would provide us with clean water and help provide a water source during the drought season. God is good! Won't you please consider helping us meet the rapidly growing needs of orphans, single mothers, and widows in the Mpunge village and the Rakai dsitrict in Uganda? 

The Third quarter was a great blessing to us but also greatly increased our need for support! The school session had over 280 children attending classes daily! And we completed the building of the teachers' dorms except for doors, which we still need. However, since about 80% of the children that attend the school are orphaned, we currenlty have approximatley 50 boys and girls living on site at the school. Because of this we have utilized 2 rooms in the teachers' dorms that were going to be used by teachers. This has increased the urgency of getting doors on the teachers' dorms and created an urgent need for bunk beds so the children won't have to continue to sleep on mats on the floor. The government's education representaitves visted the school this quarter as well and are happy with our level of education provided, the progress of the students, and the over all job the staff is doing. They even invited us to join the interschool sports leagues so our students can compete against other students from other schools. Our boys and girls competed in football and did very well! This too has created another need as the children competed bare foot as they do not have appropriate athletic footwear or team jerseys. Our Executive Director, Mugeuma Jude was able to buy some goats that now live on site to provide milk. As the number of children attending and the number of children living on site continues to grow, we are in great need of financial support! We are so grateful for the blessings God has given us and are excited to see how he provides and where he grows this mission from here!
