Triplets visiting our office

Greetings from Kassanda Children’s Aid to all our beloved donors,

May this August 2021 report find you in good health and may the almighty God bless you and keep you during this difficult days to navigate. In July, the President of Uganda closed all schools due to the pandemic, and we are still closed, not knowing the exact date when schools will be opened. Please pray, our children really need to continue their education as it also gives them much hope for their future. Our feeding program has managed to distribute food to some families though many have been looking for more help.

We continue to get referrals from partners in the District and I have one story to share with you from the district officer. Brenda is a 25 year old who lives in Nsonzinga Village of Kiganda. She has five children total as recently she had triplets. Brenda live in a rented one roomed house and had a husband, Wilber. After hearing the news that his wife gave birth to triplets, he ran away from his family responsibilities of caring for the children. Brenda had nothing to feed the children, her milk supply is poor as she didn’t get proper nutrition she needed. She has no job to earn money and to look after her five children.

The family is only fed by good hearted people, sometimes they do not receive anything to eat, the triplets are looking malnourished and are suffering from sickness from poor feeding. Brenda together with her husband came here from Rwanda so she has no relative here in Uganda, amidst all the problems the landlord of the house demands his 5 months of rent and she has nowhere to get the money yet the landlord threatens to throw her out of the house if she fails to pay.

Brenda came to the District Officials for help and the District Official referred her to Kassanda Children’s Aid office for support. KCA managed to provide, 1 tin of Irish potatoes, 10kgs of maize flour, 1 bar of soap, 2 detergent of soap, 10kgs of beans, 1 bunch of banana and transport to her back to her place of residence.

After sharing with our donors, we decided to build her a house on our Stephen Baker Farm, so that she can help with farm duties on the land and can get food for her children. The house is now in the building process and all house items will be bought for her. If you would love to bless this family please reach out to us!

Surely dear donors, in this period a lack of food has become a serious issue to our community. The requests keep coming in and right now our food at Stephen Baker Farm has become empty due to so many needs. I kindly appeal to you to continue helping us so that we can help as many as possible. For more information our website is linked below. Thank you kindly!

The whole family

Family receiving food

Hello Greetings Partners,

Greetings from Kassanda Children’s Aid and I hope that this report finds you all in good health to all our beloved partners. I guess the almighty God has kept you well in this erratic situation of Covi19, and I take this opportunity to send a comforting message to our partners who have lost their beloved ones but I encourage you to be strengthened in God because He is over all.

In the Month of October 2020, 15 candidates went back to school, they were, Primary Seven, Senior Four, Senior Six and all graduates in their last year of 2020. Kassanda Children’s Aid had only one student in Senior Four. She started school successfully and she reported back at home on 15/12/2020 for a short holida. We shall know whether all children will start school in January soon but due to elections this year we are unsure.

Our feeding program managed to distribute to some families though many have been looking for more help. We continue to get referrals from others partners in the District. I have one which I would like to share with you our partners see it below

The probation and welfare of Kassanda District referred us a family of five children and their mother for help. According to their family's statement, said that the father of the children chased them away from home because he wanted to marry another wife, when they resisted, he threatened to kill them and on several occasion he had been beating them to level of almost killing them. When the situation worsened, they decided to run away without anything. A Good Samaritan picked them from a shade of a tree. She stayed with them for four days and later took them to the district, the district referred them to Kassanda Children’s Aid for food, medical, shelter, protection and education support four of the children are chronically ill.

As an organization, we managed to give them food and medication though they are still desperate for help on their needs. With those few remarks I would like to thank you our partners who have managed to start with us since we started this struggle of helping the vulnerable Children I say that nothing we can give you only to lift you to the almighty God to give you all your desires in your lives. I wish you all bright, healthy and happy new year of 2021!

Ready for school
