Imagine. Your parents are dead. You have siblings to support. You have a sixth grade education. You’re alone. You’re terrified. You’re begging on the streets. You wonder if you’ll make it.
This is not a TV show. This is reality. Unfortunately, far too many children in Uganda face this daily.
This is where our school St. Elizabeth Academy steps in. The school houses the most destitute children and provides them with the tools to gain skilled labor jobs to support themselves and their families. Some of our children go to school and some make it through to university.
These children have tenacity. They are determined to turn the tide of their devastating situation — but we can’t do that without your continued support in sponsoring a child.
The future is in their hands, but we can provide them a hand-up.
We, being more fortunate and having access to education more readily can provide them a chance to turn their reality into a promising future, a self-supporting future.
A toast to peace and hope and the future,
Cristen
