Support for two (of three) homes now headed to Uganda...


"This grannie is dancing for joy over the help we have been able to give her because of people like you and your congregation.  Keep up the life changing work."
Tashmica Torok,
 Development Associate, Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project

Today the Peoria United Methodist Church sent a check for $2,000 to Nyaka (http://nyakaproject.blogspot.com/2012/04/nzera-needs-you.html) to support two (2) homes for grannies that include a kitchen and latrine.  Many of the grannies live exposed to the mountainous cold evenings and spend all rainy season wet and hungry.  Nyaka learned that grannies will stay in their pit-latrines when it rains because it is their only escape from the rain and cold.

Thank you to all who have and will donate.  You are providing homes for grandmothers, and this will impact their lives in a very positive way!  And when you support a grannie, you support an average of 5 orphans and vulnerable children.

Jackson Kaguri Twesigye,
Executive Director of Nyaka AIDS Orphans Project,
"Please express our grannies gratitude to all your church members. God bless you and may His work continue to grow!"

  2. You are all doing amazing work! These grandmothers are working very hard, every day to selflessly advocate for the children now in their care. You are all coming along side them and supporting them through your efforts. Congratulations on what you have been able to achieve and all that you will achieve in the coming months. Webale!
