Among all the weeding and feeding, things are growing up green at the Stephen Baker Farm. We are working hard to fight the weeds and keep all watered and fertilized properly until harvesting comes. We have almost met our goal for this project, less than $500 to go! We sincerely thank you for giving so generously to us.
Something new is also growing up! Recently a young lady named Grace came to KCA office after seeing us send many children to school. She told us her hardship story which was verified and word went out for her need. Quickly a donor not only stepped up to pay for her education but after seeing their mud-walled home also wanted to build her family a proper home on her land. It also included an outhouse bathroom, solar panel, furnishings, and new clothing.
It was such an exciting time to offer this family a new beginning! This inspired us to start on our idea to build a small community of widows. Housing is a major challenge of widows in Uganda and living in community together means they can share in responsibilities, learn farming skills and have land to plant a garden to grow food and feed their children. We have started our first home already and will soon post a project for donating specifically to this. We hope you will like to get involved in this very rewarding work as we build homes one by one.
