UGANDAN ORPHAN PROGRAM
A Western Ugandan village was brutally attacked on June 16th, 2023, leaving more than 40 high-school students inhumanely murdered, homes burned, nearly 30 citizens dead or missing, and possibly dozens of orphaned and displaced children. This occurred near the village where Sisters Uganda is located, personally and tragically impacting the team members’ relatives.
We are supporting twenty children who have lost their parents. They are currently under the care of one woman at her home and are receiving ongoing support of food , school supplies, and trauma-informed counseling outreaches.
All donations to this effort will help continue the counseling sessions, food supplies and ongoing needs as they arise.
Children are safe, fed, have a comfortable place to sleep, and they have each other… and Auntie (in pink).
These are some of the 20 children who are now orphaned and who receive gifts of food
The morning following the attack in Mpondwe village, Sisters Uganda rushed to prepare food for the community and those tragically affected. The video below shows children who benefitted from their generosity.
For more information about the attacks, search the web for “Uganda school attack”. Keep in mind that there is much less media attention on the prior attack that affected the children we are supporting.
““Let us reach out to the children. Let us do whatever we can to support their fight to rise above their pain and suffering.””
