Hello! My name is Senoga Henry. However, my friends and acquaintances know me as Jumba Michael, which is the name given to me by my grandmother after the death of my parents when I was seven years old. I grew up in Katoma, Uganda, a small village in the Kiboga district with a high HIV population. There have been many deaths because of this terrible disease, which took my parents as well. I survived by God’s Grace and stayed with my grandmother following their deaths.
As time went by, I saw that life at home was difficult for my grandmother. She had the responsibility of caring for me and eight other needy children. When I was thirteen, I decided to help my grandmother by leaving home in search of a job and in hopes of an education.
Life was always a hustle on the streets. I found myself at its mercy, fighting through the trenches without a place to call home, or even sleep. I started to collect scraps which I could sell to go to school. All my hard work only provided enough to pay for half of the tuition cost. The school’s headmaster was kind and helped me study. He also let me work around the school cleaning the compound and toilets to pay the other half of my tuition fees.
After school I would go to the place where I stayed with the other homeless children. We all lived as one and made sure that we cared for each other. I lived this way for four years in the streets where I hustled and survived by any means possible.
I now earn a living as a brick mason and am using this to help the children in the village who haven’t had any help due to being orphaned, single parenthood and poverty. Many of the children here have never had the opportunity to even attend school. I believe God put me here to become a voice for the voiceless through forming Ssuubi Lyabato Orphanage that works with aims of feeding and educating children, as well as treating the sick.
My grandmother passed away on January 1st, 2018, due to cancer, HIV, high-blood pressure, and a stroke. Despite my many hardships I never quit looking to God for guidance. Each morning I asked Him to make me victorious. I prayed that one day I could be His example of loving kindness, untiring strength and tender mercy. My heart’s desire was to minister His love to the orphans whom I grew to love so much. Indeed, my prayers were heard and answered because I live a life as a testimony of the goodness of my Savior.
Ssuubi Lyabato Orphanage translated Hope Children’s Orphanage aims to provide Hope to children who have lost both or one of their parents. Faithful Servants Care began supporting this Orphanage in Kampala, Uganda in January 2021. This orphanage feeds and educates approximately 270 orphans and houses about 70 of them. They have had no formal regular support in the past. What we can donate monthly helps feed the children, get some medication, provide rented housing and pay for the workers’ wages at the orphanage.
Please join us in helping these children build a home/building of their own. They have an acre of land paid for to start the building project. $36,500 will raise enough funds to build out the latrines and the foundation to the wall plate of the largest building. Faithful Servants Care is offering to match every dollar up to the first $16,000 donated. This would provide enough funds for them to get their building completed to the roofing and final finishes.
