EXCITING NEWS FROM UGANDA! BiblePay currently sponsors 10 orphans in Uganda through BLOOM who go to school at Side By Side Christian Ministries. I just got letters and photos from almost all of them (still trying to get one more letter), addressed to BiblePay, thanking you for your sponsorship! Here they are:
Rania- 5 yrs old
Hakim- 9 years old
Favor- 8 yrs old
Praise- 7 yrs old
Isaac- 4 yrs old
Laira-10 yrs old
Musigale- 10 yrs old
Sharon- 10 yrs old
Sylvia- 12 yrs old
Edrine- 13 yrs old
As a reminder, Side by Side Christian Ministries in Rakai, Uganda, rescues a child out of an abusive foster or biological home and places them in a Christian boarding school until a suitable family placement can be found. Children are provided education at one of the best schools in Uganda and are given everything they need each month including: food, housing, school fees, uniforms, necessities, etc.
A few statistics:
Every 20 minutes a child is orphaned in Uganda.
Rakai District has continued to experience high HIV rates at 12%, compared to the national average of 7.3%.
Thank you all for this life-changing support to these children.
April
Executive Director, BLOOM
