Dear Friends I’d like to share a few snaps from the university graduation of our exceptionally talented Benjamin Kizito. Take a look for yourselves. After all, without friends like you, these successes would not have been possible. But they are a perfect illustration of the saying: ‘Whoever saves a child saves the whole world.’

Dear friendsThe Latin saying ‘A healthy mind in a healthy body’ speaks to the importance of a good balance between body and mind. The two go hand in hand. This is important to us. It is an educational principle. Whilst Uganda’s Ebola emergency continues, our children and Esbern Budolfsen made the most of their time at home by organising a sports day. See for yourself how they run, jump, play and throw! Pictures speak louder than a thousand words. Their healthy upbringing would not be possible without your support. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your valuable support.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
