SUPPORT

The following schools desperately need your helping hand.
The need is great; and we pray to our Almighty God to touch those whom He will use to help where possible. We pray for those who will stand with us—those who can help these orphans and abandoned children enjoy life as so many other children already do in this country and in other lands worldwide.  As a church we are very concerned. That is the reason we are appealing to all Christian parents worldwide to give a helping hand.

Lifestyle Christian Infant And Orphanage School is located in Kasese Town, Saluti suburb, two km. from the town centre. It was started two years ago and has some classes, plus an office which was constructed just a few months ago.  The school has 70 children. Among them are 40 orphans.  The remaining come from poor families.  Currently, the school has three teachers. We expect to have a larger number in the future because the school now has a shelter, nice classrooms and good teachers who are able to teach infants. 

Kyenatale Faith Home Of Champions, is in Kisiita, in sub-county Kibale District. We have three teachers. They care for 80 orphans, 20 disabled children and 250 children who come from poor families.  We have 60 children who board at the school because they have no homes to go to.  A large number of these children lost their parents during the war; and some others live with HIV/AIDS. Some of the parents have already died of that disease. 

Kyobu Christian Infant Nursery and Primary School is located in the Kibale District and has 195 children who are all orphans but are living with church members from the area near the school.  It has two teachers. They operate within the church premises.

Nombe Christian Model Nursery Orphanage School, Bushenyi District. This school has 75 children. Many of them have parents who are very poor. Some of them live with HIV/AIDS. The school has two teachers and has been operating within the church premises under the guidance of the church pastor since 1998.

 Kyamutunzi Christian Model Nursery And Primary School.  This school is located in Kyamutunzi, Kyenjojo District and has 175 children and five teachers. They operate within the church premises and in a few other classrooms that have been constructed using local materials.  Of these children, 85 are orphans; 15 are disabled; and the other 75 come from poor families.

 Bwizi Christian Model Nursery And Orphans School. This school in Buremba, sub-county Kazo County, Mbarara District was started in 2001. There are 125 children and three teachers at this school.  Forty-five are orphans; the rest come from poor families. They operate under trees and sometimes in the church premises. The church has been taking care of the teachers with funds from the church. However, the weekly Sunday collection can be less then one dollar. As you very well know, this not enough for these teachers.

Katoma Christian Model Nursery School. This school is in Kasule Sub-County, Kyaka County, Kyenjojo District, and was started in 2000. It has 180 children and three teachers.  Of these children, 80 are orphans; 20 are disabled; and 80 come from very poor families.  They use the church premises and some shade trees to carry on their studies.

Kamushoko Nursery Orphanage School.  This school, located in Kamushoko, Kashari county, Mbarara district started one year ago and has 78 children, all of whom are orphans.  The school has two teachers. They use church premises

Kihani Christian Orphanage School, Kyenjojo District.  This school started one year ago and is located in Kyamutunzit.  Of the155 children, 126 are orphans; and the other 29 come from poor families.  The school has two teachers who rent two rooms to use as classrooms.

 Kamwema Christian Lifestyle Orphanage School, Mubende District.  This Nursery school started two years ago and is the only school in the area. It serves 180 children within the village. Many of their parents are very poor. There is nothing that can help them apart from the Gospel of Hope that we preach to them. We try to assist them with clothes and teachings. We hope and pray that the development training we give them now will, in the near future, materialize into something that we can see on the ground.  Many of these children are good but with a poor background and poor feeding. There is no medical care, no road system, and no good water anywhere in this place.

Divine Grace Primary School.  This school is located in Rugaaga sub-county, Isingiro District. This is a boarding school for 300 children who are all refugees from the Nakivale and Orukyinga settlements. These children are not able to pay school fees; but well-wishers contribute generously for their education each term to support them.

At some other schools children have to commute 10 km from their homes to school each day.
We still need more financial support for all these children.

Kyondo Lifestyle Christian School, Kasese District.  This school has many children who are in desperate need of our services. The parents in this area are so poor that they can't even afford to take care of their children. You will find most of these children on the streets and begging from passers-by. The children's parents are in the church; but there is nothing the church can do to help because its members are all poor and below the poverty line.  The church is taking care of 136 children.

At my house I live with five orphans for whom I am paying school fees. Some are in lower classes and others are in secondary schools. Still others need to go to university but we don’t have funds for that. We would really appreciate you helping these children. 

Should we think of building a home for these orphans?  We could use your advice.  For now we are concentrating on education, medication, clothing, transport, feeding and accommodation (i.e. bedding). How about spending some time here to help us? Then you could see for yourself whether what we are saying is true.

Save Orphans and Needy Children project (SONEC)

The Save Orphans and Needy Children project (SONEC) was formed as a result of a brotherly understanding between Zion Faith Church in Nyakabande and Faith Evangelistic Centre.  This happened after they noticed the ever-increasing number of orphans at Zion Faith Church. These two churches are now working in partnership to address spiritual, social, economic and psycho-social problems affecting their adherents whose cultural and social settings are similar (vis-à-vis their individual traits). 

The idea to form  SONEC was conceived way back in the year 2000.  SONEC received its full registration as Community Based Organization (CBO/NGO) by the local government in 2006. It is a Christian based forum that strives to promote  all aspects that will heal the broken hearts and physical problems which have hindered many people from accepting Christian values and standards. 

SONEC is operating in the district of Kisoro, in southwestern Uganda.  This area shares borders with the Democratic Republic of Congo to the west and the Republic of Rwanda to the south.  It is located about 540 km from the capital city of Kampala.  Kisoro is characterized by volcanic mountains, crater lakes, natural endowments like the Mgahinga and Bwindi Impenetrable Gorilla Sanctuaries and major species of birds that are not found anywhere else.

Although the area is endowed with natural beauty, there is the problem of HIV/AIDS. Other problems include poverty, ill health, land degradation, environmental hazards and overpopulation—to name a few.  These continue to affect cultural and religious morals. With a population of about 240,000 on 580 sq. km. of arable land, the population density is high.

Zion Faith Church, in conjunction with Faith Evangelistic Centre, has the bound duty to help their people with socio-economic recovery and spiritual growth.
