Restoring Hope for Orphans in Uganda: Making a Difference

Donation protected
Hello, my name is October, and I am a small social media creator. Recently, I came across a heartbreaking cry for help on Instagram from an orphanage in Uganda that is struggling to provide for the children in its care. Moved by the Holy Spirit, I felt called to step in—not necessarily with money, but with the strengths and gifts God gave me: my ability to connect, share, and amplify important causes through social media.

After getting to know the amazing organizer of the orphanage, I learned just how urgent the situation is. They are in desperate need of food, clean water, educational supplies, and basic medical care to sustain these children.
They are also renting and in prayer for ownage of their own land. Renting is not sustaining them and killing morale, which is costly.

I was a youth teacher for a long time so I know how detrimental it can be to have a bundle of children in your care and feel you were not in the capability of caring for them because you're insufficiently funded.

I was also raised in a home here in the states where there wasn't enough food to feed the children. It is not a childhood anyone wants to participate in. That thought immediately tells me to think "Okay, How do I, now as an adult with the position to possibly do something about this, participate in it?"

I wanted to be the type of adult that I needed as a child. One in the position to bring these kids food and bring them provision. I want to be someone in a position to do something about it who ACTS on it.

These children are full of potential, joy, and hope, but without the essentials, their futures are at risk. Together, we can change that. Even a small donation can go a long way in ensuring they have food on their plates, safe shelter, and access to education.

Your contributions will directly fund:

Nutritious meals to fight hunger and malnutrition.

School supplies and educational resources to support learning.

Clothing, bedding, and basic hygiene products for daily comfort.

Relocation efforts to an owned land.

Building repairs and utilities to improve living conditions.

How You Can Help:
Donate – No amount is too small. Even $5 can make a big difference.

Share the Campaign – Spreading the word helps us reach more people.

Pray with Us – We believe in the power of prayer and God’s provision.

Together, we can be the hands and feet of Jesus, bringing hope and healing to these precious children. Thank you for your generosity, prayers, and support. Let’s show them that they are not forgotten.

God bless,
October
