Dear friends,I wish you a wonderful Advent Sunday. Thanks to friends like you, Kids of Africa has been able to help children for 20 years. And as long as we are able, we will continue on the path of helping people to help themselves. Because it works. Sustainably. Our protégés illustrate this, as do our outreach projects, where we help to free children from the vicious cycle of poverty. For 20 years. Thank you for continuing to stand by them!

We all know the time for sowing and the time for harvesting. The image came to mind as I watched the lovely short video of our farm:

Kids Pioneer Primary School – A school with heart, energy and vision
Kids Pioneer Primary School is Kids of Africa’s vibrant and energetic foster school. Since its foundation in 2013, it has become an integral part of the local community – a place where children can grow, learn and develop.

Mother’s Day greetings from Uganda – a moving story about courage and love
Dear friendsMums are the best. Would we exist without them? Of course not. Mothers give us our first unconditional love. Security so that we can develop. They help us to learn to stand on our own two feet. Mothers always remain role models. Even when it’s our turn to take on responsibility.
How Sarah changed her life – a special Easter story
Dear friends
Easter is also the biggest holiday for many in Uganda. Today I would like to tell you a fitting story.
Last year, our wonderful principal, Dorte Budolfsen, founded a “sewing group”. The initial aim was to produce school uniforms cheaply and in large numbers. But, as is so often the case, many more good things were created than just uniforms. Young people learned how to sew. Some became enthusiastic about textile design. This is how development succeeds: with joy and skills. And some capital, here in the form of a sewing machine.
Magic of life
Liebe Freunde
Gibt es eine Magie des Lebens? Ja, es gibt sie. Und sie hat viele Gesichter, zum Beispiel die Liebe, Freundschaft, Gemeinschaft oder ein herzliches Lachen. Manchmal genügt ihr ein warmer Sonnenstrahl oder sogar ein erfrischender Wolkenbruch. Die Magie des Lebens gibt es überall. In Kids of Africa genauso, wie überall sonst auf der Welt.
