Southeast Church Supply is pleased to support the Agape Total Childcare Center/Orphanage in Mukono, Lugazi (Uganda)

Support for the Orphanage is given to their 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.)

Project Specifics: ChurchProducts has supported this orphanage since 2011. We helped them raise money to complete the initial building and we continue to support them financially each month. Agape houses 60+ children 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."
