How Do You Choose?
There is no doubt about it, each day in Uganda our team members are faced with children who have very challenging circumstances. Sickness, disability, malnourished, no shelter, barely clothed.
Many of these stories you've seen in our weekly emails, and you've helped make an incredible difference!
It can be easy to feel overwhelmed and helpless. In the remote villages where we work in Uganda, CLP is usually the only organization providing help to the most needy.
Smiles for Miles!
Mwase, Shamilu, and Mbwali were absolutely overcome with excitement and gratitude! This is the difference you make!
Through our Bridge to Success projects with our partner Donorsee, we posted a project to help get new clothes and hygiene supplies for the children.
Determined to Succeed!
Nothing makes me more excited than sharing with you the success of the children you've helped send to school!
As children in the US have started a new school year over the past few weeks, our students in Uganda have just finished their second term, and their reports are in, and they are all doing well- thanks to you!
They’ll Light Up Your Day!
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.
Resilience and Hope: Tibenda’s Story
I'm bringing you a story of resilience and hope. The hope is because of all of you!
This is Tibenda Phiona's story as told to our team member Hilda:
Tibenda Phiona is 19 years old and from Namisambiya village in rural Uganda. Since childhood, Phiona has had a very difficult life.
Knowing When to Pivot
One of the practices I'm most proud of at CLP is our ability to respond quickly to needs and pivot and make changes in our programs when we find a better way.
In daily communication with our team in Uganda, they let me know the progress of our programs and where we need to make changes. I let them know how fundraising is going and we review our budget.
This is how we work from the inside out. Our team lives the reality each day and knows the challenges that children and families face. They experience in real time how an increase in prices, or an illness, affects a family, wiping out their financial resources, leaving them without food or
A Healthy Start
A few weeks ago, I wrote about Betty, a 14-year-old new mother who needed baby supplies. Betty is an orphan with no family to help her, and she was a victim of violence.
I'm happy to let you know that thanks to our wonderful community of donors, Betty and her baby received diapers, clothes, blankets, food, and other needed items. She is also now enrolled in the hairdressing program at our Girls' Vocational Center. The change in her outlook has been wonderful to see, and you helped put that big smile on her face!
