CALL FOR SUPPORT FOR KALABUSI ROGERS

A Welcome Burden 🙏

We are delighted to share with you the story of Kabalasi Rogers, a young man of 15, who recently visited our camp. Like all our cherished visitors, we were thrilled to welcome him, but his visit was not just a passing one. He came with a deeper purpose — to inquire about a chance to study with us, for free.

Kabalasi had heard that we help orphans, and with great humility, he approached us, hoping for an opportunity to pursue his education. I am pleased to announce that we have admitted him into our program, with the belief that together, we can bring light and encouragement into his life.

Kabalasi is an orphan, born with the challenging condition of sickle cell anemia. His health is fragile, requiring regular medication and often forcing him into long periods of illness. This has unfortunately hindered his educational progress, often leaving him bedridden. Despite these challenges, his desire to study remains unwavering.

At 15, Kabalasi should be entering secondary school, but after speaking with him, we found that he is currently at a Primary 2 level. Nevertheless, he embraced this opportunity with joy and has joined the class with an open heart.

Our goal is to make Kabalasi feel at home here, surrounded by compassionate teachers and a supportive community. We hope that in time, he will find strength and resilience to face the hardships of life with hope and determination.

We humbly reach out to you, our extended community, to ask for your support. If you have the means to bring light, encouragement, or hope into Kabalasi’s life, we would be deeply grateful.

Thank you for considering being a beacon of hope for this young soul.

CALL FOR SUPPORT

Meet 8 years old Emmanuel Ssempala, a destitute who lives in a small rural village of bukanobe , Kitukiro parish buyende.

His story is heartbreaking 

💔

 and his face wears a look that tells it all.

Sadness and longing describe this young soul .

At years, he has never been to class in spite of his eagerness to learn.

His story is 

😥

 tragic, filled, his late Father Ssemwanga Emmanuel was a native muganda who as a sojourner came to buyende to hustle on the shores of lake Kyoga
Fate would arrive soon, his boat capsized, and he tragically lost his life .
At the time, ssempa’s mother, a girlfriend Ssemwanga, was heavily pregnant carring ssempa.
She gave birth a few days after the demise of the hubby.

Ssempa has never witnessed the blessing of a father, and misfortune would follow soon  as his mother, too, died tragically in a motorcycle accident, leaving behind  a 2 years old Ssempa.

With the absence of both parents,Ssempa hasn’t  had the opportunity to attend school and is desperately seeking help to share camaraderie of school friendships and that sense of accomplishment that comes with attending school.

Every morning, he comes to attend class at our newly opened school, DA HOPE NURSERY AND PRIMARY SCHOOL.

With a tin of leftover foods , he hopes and feels if a charitable chance comes his way, maybe and just maybe, chance at a better life, His face carries the weight of his appalling reality  that seem to stiffle the lively spirit within.

At 8, he feels it’s not late , he still possesses a chance  , and the blessing of hope sustains him .

The transformational power of generosity and kindness can meet him at his point of need to escape his misfortune and have a chance to unlock his potential through education.

Through a sponsorship or donation, you can help  Ssempa glimpse at the stars of triumph and  

✌️

 victory.

Help us at Daughter’s and widows of Hope ministries to provide this much needed education to the under prevailledged  children and give a chance to many to break the cycle of poverty and build a brighter future.
