"In our community there are several schools ~ however care takers of these orphans can't afford to pay the local school fee...most people here can't even afford a meal a day. So for us, we came out to create a model of change and give these children education, rather than leave them isolated. Thank you ." -Frank Katabalwa, Founder, The Loving Example Uganda Contact: Loving Example Uganda

Farm Initiative
Frank visited Buikwe district in Uganda to build relationships with struggling rural areas. In Buikwe many people are suffering from a number of reasons ranging from being HIV victims to simply struggling in day to day life due to poverty. When it comes to feeding in rural communities of Africa, most families normally have one meal a day and others do not get anything. Sanitation could be greatly improved....and clean water is needed.
Organic Farm to Orphans
|
The Mukono district has a very large orphan population which is a result from parents dying from HIV or from the war. As an outreach project of The Loving Example Uganda and Phoenix Voyage International, a 15 acre farm has been established to supply organic food to the orphans in the region. A community leader has allowed Loving Example Uganda to farm the land which is currently producing beans and maize.
NOTICE: This 15 acre farm has been taken over by a crop disease and is currently being stripped and relaxed until next season. Orphan Shelter Another goal is to build a home for the orphans and we are seeking sponsors to help the children in the Mukono district. There are 115 orphans who desperately need shelter and proper care. The cost to build a structure is 20,000 USD. |
