Help supply basic needs to this orphanage!
Donation protected
Every few weeks for the past 2 years, my 77 year old dad (who is not technologically savvy) finds his way into a Western Union to send this group of children in an orphanage in a remote village some money for food. Two years ago he introduced me to this orphanage, one I likely would have dismissed before as being a scam or a waste of time or too far out of my proximity to help.
It’s so easy to scroll past things when the proximity to them feels too large to affect us. We all grew up watching 90s commercials of children in Africa, and most of our parents used a comparison metaphor to make us finish our meal.
I’m at a point in my life when I’m questioning what’s important; some days, like the days I speak with these children, or the days I play chess with my 83 year old neighbor, the answer comes readily and easily.
Mukisa, the one who runs the orphanage was an orphan himself, and as you can see he is also malnourished and suffers from a type of poverty many of us do not know or face. The children walk to get water from a local stream. Nothig comes easy. But he is rich in his view on life and god, and he teaches the children to pray and be thankful. Prayer is petition, after all.
I’m grateful for my dad for being 77 years old and having the kind of open heart that hears the prayers and petitions of children from across the world. Our small bits of help has often been the deciding factor in if these children go hungry at night for extended periods of time.
To enact change we must make small changes which become significant. The glass is only half full or full if we each put a drop into it. Please give or share.

Hello our beloved, dear friends, family, brother's and sister's. My name is MUKISA from Uganda I'm running an orphanage by taking care of orphans, disabled, and needy kid's. Me and my beloved sister Isabella, We have started this fundraising. The reason why we have started this fundrising gor them now is because now at the moment we are facing many challenges and hardships. Shortely we take care of kids who have no one and provide for them food water shelter and school needs. The life coditions are very hard all around the world but specially in Uganda if you are a christian. Not only i but these kids would appriacite every single one of you for making theirs better. Jesus said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” God bless every one of you and your familys lets together help this orphange, god bless you all
