This week, we were officially recognized as a Community-Based Organization in Kamuli District, Uganda!  This is a big deal for our team, acknowledging all their efforts and the work they have done for the past nine years!

 As our outreach and success in the Kamuli town and the surrounding villages has grown over the years, the local council members (politicians) approached us and we were invited to formally register CLP as a Community-Based Organization (CBO).  Our team was thrilled to have their hard work and progress seen as making a real difference for the most vulnerable.

Pure joy! That's what you see on Tikah's and little Musa's faces when Hilda and Aminsi delivered food and clothes to them this week!  Baby Sarah was a little unsure .

 Tikah is a young mother who has been struggling to provide for Musa and baby Sarah since being abandoned by the children's father.  They were down to eating one small meal a day when our team put in the request for help. We posted the project on our crowdfunding site, Donorsee.

The other day I was talking to Christina, a supporter of ours for the past two years, and she said she was recently telling a friend why she gives to CLP. She also said that we should toot our own horn more as an organization.

 It made me stop and think!

So I thought I'd share with you what we do well as an organization to help the most vulnerable children, and what makes us unique.

The other day I saw a news report about many of those “feel good” stories you see on social media. Evidence shows that most are AI generated and not actually true.  

 Well, all of our posts and stories are about real people, real situations, and real hope, and that hope is thanks to all of you!

 This week Hilda brings you Namugele Maureen's story. It is one of unimaginable tragedy and struggle. But thanks to the help she receives from our Girls' Vocational Center, it's also one of hope.
