Dear friends
The latest outbreak of the Ebola virus in Uganda is once again posing major challenges for the country. Through our extensive support for schools and pupils, as well as communities directly affected by the situation, Kids of Africa is standing by and helping in the face of a crisis that has struck us virtually overnight. A brief report.
Growing together through play, sport and fun 🏃🥳
Dear friends,
Today I’m just sharing a few snapshots with you. Because sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words. You can see some of our kids renovating the dilapidated playground, and a large group of kids from our village and neighbourhood playing sport. They were wonderful moments – I hope the photos manage to capture some of that spirit.
Spring greetings from Uganda ❤️
Dear friends,
With warm regards from our children, I hope you’re having a lovely Sunday morning. We celebrated Easter in Uganda last week. We celebrated the blessing and gift of life, and our little community.
And: we celebrated the arrival of a new, young child in our care.
Grief and hope: A moving week 😔
Dear friends
Our long-standing mother Harriet passed away this week at the age of 53. She was an exemplary mother. Her smile was infectious, her heart was big, and she would have walked through fire for her ten children.
The head of the Ugandan social services also visited us this week. She asked Kids of Africa to take on guardianship for additional babies. The cycles of life.
From Kenya to Uganda – 600 kilometres in the saddle! 🚴♂️ 🚴♂️ 🚴♂️
Dear friends
A small group of our youngest members started the new year on their bikes. For them, it was an unforgettable adventure and a milestone in their development. It made my heart beat faster. An illustrated short report.
Happy New Year: Greetings & thanks from Kids of Africa 🎉
Dear friends,
May your wishes come true! Our kids wish you a Happy New Year.
Christmas greetings from our youngest!🎅🎄
Dear friends
Christmas is important in Africa. In many huts and houses, people sing, clean, prepare food for their families and mend clothes. They dress up for the big day.
Amazing Grace
Dear friendsI send you warm Advent greetings from Kids of Africa. Here, too, we are looking forward to the approaching Christmas celebrations. And we welcome Baby Grace! She is still a little weak. We have been there for children like her for twenty years. With family, education and prospects. Because that works. Today, I am reporting on two who have come a long way, those who still have a long way to go and those who are hoping for our help.
What your help achieves
Dear friends,
With best wishes for Advent, I would like to show you the impact of your support with two examples. In the first video, Esbern Budolfsen, our Head of Education, introduces you to a family affected by poverty. They are one of many whom we support with school fees. The focus is on Brenda and her family. They are strong women.
In the second example, I introduce you to Steven, our young athlete. He grew up with Kids of Africa and, like most of our protégés, wants to make the world a better place. Both Brenda and Steven demonstrate the value and impact of your donation....
What your help achieves
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!
