Uganda Children's Project

As a result of current economic conditions, we are seeing a number of sponsorship cancellations. This leaves us with children who are in school and doing well, but there is no one to continue paying school fees. So far, we have managed to pay all fees from proceeds from the golf tournament. Our reserves, however, are running very low.

Are you in a position to help? Please send an email. We will be happy to provide more information.

Even though her scores were very high, Jacinta saw no chance of continuing her education when she finished secondary school. Her mother had barely scraped together the money for her and her siblings to attend school. Jacinta knew it would be impossible for her mother to find the money for university fees. So after graduating secondary school, Jacinta stayed at home and helped her mother with the other children.

She heard about the Children's Project at church, but she found that the Project only supported children through secondary school. While Dan and I were in Uganda delivering shoes one Christmas, Jacinta approached us and asked if we would consider sponsoring a university student. Dan spoke with her for a while, then came to me and said he wanted to pay for Jacinta's university fees. Jacinta became the first University graduate sponsored by the Uganda Chidren's Project when she graduated from Mackere University in January. Jacinta majored in business. Today, she works as a marketing representative for a major computer peripherals firm. This young girl without hope only a few years ago now calls on the largest companies in Uganda!
