Uganda is a country slightly smaller than
the state of Oregon and is home to more than 25 million souls. Uganda, while having a relatively stable government and substantial
natural resources, is still a country with much suffering. The 46 year average life-span is evidence of the harsh social climate.
Disease and war have taken their toll. By 2001, more than 884,000 children under the age of 14 had lost their parents to AIDS.
Many others have lost their parents to war. Thousands live in tent cities and the situation in Uganda is considered to be
one of the worst humanitarian emergencies in the world. With an estimated 44% of the population living at or below poverty,
the orphaned children of Uganda are desperate for our help!

Like orphans in the other countries where we help, there is little or no
government assistance. The children are left to fend for themselves and often become servants to relatives,
or slaves to others in order to survive. Many will turn to crime as well. Their only hope are the privately operated
orphanages that we support. These children are in desperate need of your involvement! The orphanages that they depend on are
not under the umbrella of any government entity, and so our support is not a subsidy but rather, their entire budget!
For just $10 per month you can help change the
lives of one of these orphans. Please consider sponsoring one or more Ugandan orphans today!
