Other projects in Africa

2011 November News  The organization Living Hope,  tries to provide needy children in the orphanage not only with teaching and learning materials, desks, uniforms or books, but with other necessities like medicine, sportswear, bedding, and mattresses.

The standard of health has improved. Children used to get sick and healthcare was hard to access.  With some of the financial help received from contributors, the children get now treatment. The situation they are in is not easy but this is a global experience.  The price of commodities is so high that they also need a way for us to get funds to plant the children's food like (Maize and beans) on a large scale say 20 acres.

There's still a need for:

  • A secondary school for the children who have finished primary. The land for the secondary is available funding is needed to build classes.
  • Healthcare for the children; many malarial cases, there are also cases of HIV
  • Land on to which the organization can plant crops for the children's feeding.
  • A property for the home for the children (currently renting).

2011 March News
The school is going on well. Still last year we had 9 candidates who sat for the final exams; 2 of them passed in first grade and 7 in second grade. We thank God for that. Pray for Mike Muwanguzi, he is one of our children who stays in our orphanage home, he lost his mother last week. So he needs much prayer and comfort. He is now totally in our hands; no mother, no father.
But according to God's word, He says the He is the father of orphans.
Thank you for standing in the gap of Living Hope children's centre in different situation.
May God bless you.
Pr. Chris.

Fr. Chris has started building the secondary school in faith. In 2005, Pastor Chris and his wife managed to buy 8 acres of land with the initial plan to use it for farming.  Last year they agreed to set up a school instead. This was prompted by the fact that the children in the primary school find it hard to continue their secondary studies due to problems with high school fees they can not afford. One missionary lady from Canada came to visit, and donated US$15,000 to start the construction. One building of six classes, will cost US $ 85,000. Continue to pray for the building project. I have attached some of the pictures for the foundation.
