From Piglets to Possibilities: Spring 2025 Report

By Ssenyonga Vincent | Founder

Fencing delivery

We are so grateful for your generosity toward our Pigs for Prosperity campaign. Because of supporters like you, we’re already seeing real changes in our community. Just this quarter we’ve delivered piglets, built school hopes, and planted new crops – all thanks to your kindness!

Pigs for Prosperity progress

Thanks to your support of our Pigs for Prosperity campaign llaunched in Sept 2024, we were able to deliver piglets to three vulnerable mothers this quarter. We also provided feed, medicines, and immunizations – and those precautions kept the piglets healthy and growing, even while disease struck other farms nearby. Next up, we’re planning a more permanent pig shelter: with fresh netting, sturdy poles and chain-link fencing, with an engineer to oversee it. This means these families’ pigs will have a safer, stronger home and stay healthy through rain or shine.

Education and income projects

Education is a cornerstone of our work, so we’re thrilled that our Get-Schooled project now fully supports 12 local students through the entire 2025 school year at Seed Junior School. Each child in this program now has school fees, uniforms, books, and supplies covered – thanks to you, they can focus on learning and growing.

Coffee farming: We received 500 coffee seedlings from the Kassanda North Member of Parliament. These little coffee plants are in the ground now, and in a few years they’ll help provide income for our programs.
Poultry project: We introduced 50 chickens at our Stephen Baker Farm. The hens and roosters will help supply eggs, meat, and extra income for our community’s needs.

Looking ahead

We’re so inspired by what we’ve accomplished together and your support is making that vision real in Kassanda. Thank you again for being part of our family – your gifts and encouragement give hope to every child and mother we serve. We’d love to stay connected: follow our journey and see more photos on MissionFinder linked below or on of our social media platforms. And if you’re able, please consider continuing your support – every gift or share helps us do even more together!

With gratitude and warm wishes,

The Kassanda Children's Aid Team

Hope in Action: Progress on 'Pigs for Prosperity"

By Ssenyonga Vincent | Founder and Financial Controller

Empowering Women in Livestock Management

Dear Partners in Development,

Warm greetings from Kassanda Children’s Aid. I hope this report finds you in good health. It has been three months since we launched our developmental project, Pigs for Prosperity and we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all the individuals, foundations, and companies that have supported us financially in our efforts to uplift the community of Kassanda.

About Kassanda Children’s Aid:
We currently serve 120 families, many of whom include orphans and vulnerable children. Sadly, some of these children are not only orphans but also living with HIV/AIDS, which significantly impacts their well-being. Many of the widows we assist are also on HIV/AIDS medication, facing similar challenges. Your contributions to this project, no matter the amount, are truly a blessing and provide a stepping stone toward improving their financial status and quality of life.

Progress on the "Pigs for Prosperity" Project:
Thanks to the first round of donations, we were able to purchase chain links and poles to construct a pigsty. We also acquired some pigs to kickstart the project. While still in its early stages, we believe this initiative has the potential to transform many lives. Your continued support will help us expand this project and bring hope to more families.

Updates on Our Other Projects:

Seed Junior School (Orphanage School):
- Currently, we serve 202 children. The school is on holiday and will reopen in February 2025. However, our upper-class students will begin a holiday coaching program on January 6, 2025.
- Through the Get-Schooled Project, we provide educational sponsorships for 12 children. We are grateful that all their educational needs for 2024 were met, including uniforms and meals at school. We are praying for continued sponsorship in 2025 so these children can pursue their education without interruption.
Future Goals:
- When school resumes on February 3, 2025, we aim to maintain the progress made in supporting our students and continue meeting the needs of our community’s most vulnerable members.

Thank you for taking the time to read this report. Your support is invaluable as we work together to uplift the vulnerable groups in our community and provide them with a brighter future.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year in 2025.
