Every quarter the team at Christ’s Hope Uganda writes about the children and families in their care. Here is their news from April to June 2025.
“As we start the third quarter of the year, I’m filled with excitement and hope for the impact we’ve made together. Thank you for being part of our mission.” (Racheal Namale, Country Team Leader)
In the children’s homes and schools
The caregivers visit every child’s home regularly, to see how the child is doing, what the family needs and how to help. Many parents are out of work and struggling to provide for their families, and some are struggling with depression.
The team also visited the children’s schools, met their teachers, and encouraged the children to ask when they haven’t understood and not to give up. Teachers told the caregivers which children are finding school hard, so the CarePoint can help.
Tutoring and support groups
Caregivers write a learning plan for each child who needs extra help, and track how they get on. In the support groups this quarter the children worked on knowing themselves: their feelings, their strengths and their weaknesses, so they can make wise decisions.
Skills for parents
Parents and neighbours learned to make liquid soap, from the ingredients and measurements to staying safe, a skill they can use at home or sell.
A new partner, and a new washroom
Christ’s Hope Uganda has begun working with Uganda Unites, which works for unity and reconciliation, on projects for children, parents and the wider community.
The boys now have new toilets, and the kitchen has three large double sinks for washing up. You can read more in our post about the new toilets and wash area.
Thank you to KDG Auto Uganda, who gave food, drinks and sanitary pads for the children and their families.
Please pray with us
- For the parents who are out of work, that they find work and hope.
- For the children who find school hard, and for their caregivers and teachers.
- For the new partnership with Uganda Unites.
