Donations

Nursery School: $50.00 a month for supplies and teacher stipends.

Medical Clinic: $200.00 a month for staff and supplies. $3000.00 is needed to build a small house for the resident nurse. She is now living in one of the clinic rooms. The Clinic was reopened in November, 2007 and is quickly gaining a reputation for saving lives. It must be supplemented to survive. Opportunities also exist to open other clinics as funds are available.

SOLAR OVEN PROJECT: The heat from the sun can be used to cook food for families. They now cook with wood or charcoal which is depleting the forests and becoming scarce. The smoke from the cooking fires is like smoking 10 packs of cigarettes a day so is a great health hazard. About $200 can equip a family with a solar cooker that will last 15 years. The people are very eager to acquire these. We want to place hundreds of these cookers with families as soon as possible.

ADMINISTRATION AND TRAVEL: Don and Ruth need to travel regularly to Uganda to organize and oversee the work there. They must make arrangements for the mission teams. Funds are needed for their travel and living expenses in Uganda as well as general administrative costs.

EQUIPMENT: A digital video projector is needed to show videos of our mission trips and projects. A new one is $800 to $1000.

DONATIONS NEEDED FOR CHILDREN:
SPONSOR A CHILD FOR $2.00 TO $50.00 A MONTH

Many children cannot attend school because they lack the few dollars for fees and incidentals. Lacking education, they perpetuate the cycle of poverty that they are caught up in. When their fees are paid, they can attend school consistently and have a better hope of succeeding. Many are AIDS orphans and have no support except what already overburdened extended family can provide. There is no child welfare system with paid foster homes such as we have here in America . Children are forced to work in agriculture and other enterprises at an early age just to get life's necessities. We bring hope to the few that we can sponsor.

Children may be sponsored at varying rates. The primary school children range from $8.00 per term to about $20 per term. Secondary school students range from about $60 per term to as much as $185 per term. There are 3 terms per school year. In the primary schools, the government assists by paying the teachers. For the most part government does not help pay for secondary schools.

The students are carefully screened for need. Pictures are then taken of those who are accepted and sent to us along with a brief description of the child and the need.

Potential sponsors can pick out a child that they want to sponsor. We collect the money and wire or deliver it to Uganda . We do not take any administrative costs from the money designated for the child. All of it goes directly to pay the child's school costs.

We believe the entire community benefits from the education of each child.

Soon we will have pictures of more children who need sponsors. I will post the pictures here or on our blog. If you are interested in sponsoring one or more, just let us know. You will then receive a picture of each child you sponsor. After he or she receives the money, you will receive a letter from the child. School terms begin in February, May, and September so payments are due in January, April, and August.

e ask for a one year commitment which you can renew each December. The needs of the child will increase as they move into higher grades so you will always have the option of getting out or asking for a child with lower needs. We want everyone to be able to afford to help in some way.
