Steps of Faith Child Care Ministry
Steps of Faith Child Care Ministry
Steps of faith child care ministry, Uganda started two years back, when Katerega Sadam,Kakuku Rogers, and Nbs Sowedi realized that there were some problems in the community which needed attention. Some of them were;
Malnutrition due to poor feeding among children
Shortage of food
School dropouts due to the poverty
Child abuse of all sorts in many children
Children school denial to school going ages due to lack of school requirements and tuitions
So we mobilized the community and some members accepted to form the project / ministry as a weapon to overcome some of the above problems and here we are:
ACHIEVEMENTS
We have identified one hundred fifty-four (154) orphans and vulnerable children (OVCs) under school going ages and 65 total dropouts. We have been able train them bible reading, this helped them not growing wildly and being good God fearing and presenting. We trained them modern farming and Music, Dance and Drama, so we are happy that there is a step ahead.
REGISTRATION OF THE PROJECT
We are very happy to inform you that our project is fully registered with the Authorities (Jinja city) i.e., we are operating legally. The authorities are aware of what we are doing.
COUNSELING AND GUIDANCE
We carry out all sorts of counseling to the orphans and vulnerable children, depending on the situation surrounding them. This has helped them more and gave more courage; this has changed their behaviors from negative to positive ways.
We not only counsel the children but also people with HIV/AIDS to go and get medical treatment so as to prolong their lives and plan for their families.
This is done by visiting them at their homes, calling for seminars and at times they come to our centre.
DOOR TO DOOR BIBLE PREACHING
This has assisted us to identify several problems in the community and healing people’s hearts. Here is where we identified a girl child of 13 years of age, who was raped by her uncle, and she was chased away of the home where she had been staying and got displaced. So, this girl claiming that she wants to go back school
WOMEN GROUPS FOR CRAFT MAKING
Here we managed to mobilize women for craft making to eradicate poverty among them but still need support and market for their product.
School fees/ scholastic materials for the orphans and vulnerable children. Many parents and guardians can’t afford fees, as result of many school dropouts, others are forced to marry when are still under school going age. They go for child labor, others become street children.
Basic requirements for the orphans and vulnerable children. Still very many children lack basic requirements like beddings, clothing, poor shelters, bad feeding and medical which need attention.
Lack of operational funds to make sure that we achieve our objectives and vision.
On the side of the guardians/ parents we need to empower them with income generating projects. But we have no way.
Transport van
Lack of stationeries mainly during the training like flip charts, writing note pads, pens, markers, and printing machines.
PLANS:
We need to have a well-constructed orphanage school and vocational institute well equipped with the following;
Computers, sewing machines,
Hair dressing room equipped with necessary for the learners,
Craft room well displayed
Recreation
All sorts of games like football, rope skipping, volleyball, net ball, and good play ground and reading books in the resource centre.
A van is needed to ease the day today ministry activities.
Continuation of gospel outreach, therefore we need a sponsor.
With all the mentioned achievements, challenges, and plans. We request for the following;
Advice
Request you to visit steps of faith child care ministry, Uganda and we need friends to work with, in order to improve the lives of the orphans and vulnerable children, let be individuals, churches, organizations or companies. Are highly welcomed.
With all the above I conclude by thanking God for His guidance and protection. And as the bible say in book of philps (7:7-12).
