<div>Hello Everyone!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>My name is Lubanga Faizo. I am the Director of Hope of Good Hope Children's Center in Bugiri, Uganda. We have 45 children at the center. Uganda has been faced with extreme poverty and families are forced to give up their children as they are not able to provide for them. HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, cholera, and cancer, and limited access to affordable healthcare has contributed to parental deaths and has increased homelessness amongst children </strong>(World Health Organization).

</div>
<div><strong>Food insecurity is a huge problem in Uganda. Over 9.5 million people in four countries in East Africa, to include Uganda are experiencing crisis from insufficient food consumption</strong> (Food Security Monitor - January 2025).

<div><strong>This is Precious. Like many of the children at Good Hope for Hope Children's Center, she is without parental support. </strong>We encourage our partners to undertake the provision of basic education, educational needs, food and medical care. Lubanga Faizo is the Director of Good Hope for Hope Children's Center.

<div><strong>"A Christian faith that does not disturb the powers that be and cannot generate a serious commitment to charity becomes an innocuous devotion, Pope Francis said.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>"Christian hope, fulfilled in Jesus and realized in his kingdom, needs us and our commitment, needs our faith expressed in works of charity, needs Christians who do not look the other way</strong>," the Pope said Nov. 17, 2024, celebrating Mass for the World Day of the Pope in St. Peter's Basilica.

<div><strong>Hello! I am Innocent Ogwal. I am the Director of Hidden Treasures Nursery and Primary School in rural Uganda. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/93578667_1755199542795641_r.jpeg" width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Hidden Treasures Nursery and Primary School is located in rural Uganda. This is the ADWOGONONO Village, Dokolo District Northern Uganda. </strong>There are 120 boys and 130 girls in this school. Children in attendance are aged 3 years to 16 years old. There are ten teachers. Teachers salaries are $50 a month. If you ever had to figure out how to survive without an income, if you have ever worked at a job each day as a volunteer, because your employer was unable to pay you, then you understand their plight. Teachers have not been paid in months, yet they continue to teach, hoping that one day, this will not be their reality.

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>This is where I live. That grass hut behind me is my home. I live amongst the poor and needy. I suffer with them. "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head." Matthew 8:20. Jesus identified with the poor because he had his own experience of homelessness and deprivation.</strong>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Food insecurity is a problem. </strong>The school relies on tuition from parents and due to climate change, employment rates are poor. <strong>$30 USD purchased 30 kgs or 66 lbs of beans and fed 250 children for one week.</strong>
