Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I am writing to you expressing my deepest thanks for your recent donation to our program. Your support
provides the financial and moral support needed to continue our mission.
With your faithful financial contributions over the years, you’ve demonstrated your deep commitment to
our work of providing education, feeding the hungry, initiating income generating activities at family
level. Your support has repeatedly played a key role in our success
As the number of orphans and vulnerable children grows, their communities become less and less
capable of addressing all their basic needs, including their ability to go to school. Education gives
children hope for life and work, and is a strong protector against HIV to which these children may be
particularly susceptible. It is essential that high quality education is accessible to all, and that is why
your support is so important as it gives us the ability to extend our services to more children.
We have provided assistance to 71 primary school going orphans who have been provided with
educational materials, some essential commodities and two households to initiate milk goats activities
as indicated below.
At the same time, the extra 1,350 EURO you availed to us has been used to support the two children of
the late Deogratias Henry, who are pursuing a three years course in accountancy.
For sure your assistance is of great value to these children and we really appreciate. We don’t have much
to give back other than our humble prayers.
Education support:
We have provide education support to 71 primary school going orphans from five parishes as indicated
below.

Some of the families provided with essential commodities
The two children of the late Deogratias Henry, Christopher and Mary and their mother really appreciate
your support. They are now pursuing a three years course in Accountancy.
Support for Animal husbandry:
During the period under review, we have identified and supported two more households to begin the milk goats
project by helping them construct the goat sheds, provide 2 goats (male & female).
This project continues to be of great benefit to the beneficiaries as it helps them in improving their nutritional
standards through milk availability at household level, and improving soil fertility leading to better food-crop
yields.

Yours in Christ,
