When you make your gift, earmark it for the named project and 100% of your donation will go to that project.

Projects for which we are currently rasing money.
Project Name: Agape Total Childcare Center/Orphanage Location: Mukono, Lugazi (Uganda) Sponsoring Organization: SIFAT www.sifat.org (SIFAT is one of the organizations we have visited and trust implicitly, they are doing wonderful work around the world. When SIFAT supports a project, you can be assured your money will be well spent.) Where to Donate: http://www.sifat.org/donate.html Please be sure to tag your donation "Orphans Now! Agape TCC Uganda" or simply "Orphans Now!" Orphans Now! does not receive any money from your donation, but we do want to know that our efforts have helped. Project Specifics: ChurchProducts has supported this orphanage since 2011. We helped them raise the money to complete the building and we continue to support them finacially each month. Agape houses 60+ childrren and provides schooling to over 200. Background: William Nsubuga, the orphanage director, is a survivor of the 1994 Rwandan Genocide and graduate of SIFAT's training program. William is caring for 46 children, ages 6-18, who were orphaned by the AIDS crisis. Before the Rwandan Genocide started, William's father owned a truck that he used for his livlihood. One day, his father discovered the truck to be stolen. Shortly afterwards, some men from the village tracked down and caught the thief and presented him to William's father, along with his recovered truck. The men told William's father to say the word, and they would kill the thief. Demonstrating God's compassion, William's father said, "No". The thief was let go and his life spared. Several years later, during the genocide, William was captured by the Rwandan militia and lined up with others to be executed. One of the generals was inspecting the condemned men and stopped when he saw William. He said, "I recognize you. Your father spared my life several years ago, when men from your village were about to kill me for taking a truck we needed. Today, I spare your life in return of your father's compassion." Sponsors: William has sponsors for most of the children. For $60 per month, William is able to feed, house, clothe and educate a child. As a benchmark, sponsoring a child through Compassion International is $38 per month and includes medical care, but does not generally include lodging. William still has 4 or 5 children who need a sponsor. Will you consider a committment of $60 per month for three years to sponsor an orphan? If so, please contact SIFAT. |
