Save Little People in Uganda

01/30/2019

Some of our homeless guests are not allowed to use the overnight shelters and this dangerously cold weather can be lethal, so we got busy this morning and our advocacy efforts paid off. McHenry Township has graciously offered the use of their Whispering Hills Community Center at 4708 Jeffrey St., Johnsburg, IL 60051, from now until February 1st as a 24/7 warming shelter, which will include overnight sleeping accommodations. This won’t be fancy, but it will be safe and warm, so please help us to spread the word that McHenry Township is offering this service. They also need volunteers to work shifts. Please use this link to volunteer: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0545ACA82FA2FF2-shift

Uganda has one of the poorest road networks in east Africa. The pitiable condition of its roads is holding back growth, regional trade and development.
Reasons include graft, slow government action concerning procurement and construction, and also climate change. Cutting off rural areas, unusually heavy rains have begun to wash away bridges and roads.
Today, a one-day journey from the northern Karamoja region to Kampala, the capital city, may take travellers three days or more because in the rainy season when many roads cannot be passed. Farmers and traders pay high price for this state of affairs: They count serious losses in perishable products.
Uganda’s health system is also affected. Clothilda Mirembe, a health worker in Central Uganda, says: “If the roads to rural health centers were better, many lives would be saved.” For example, emergency ambulances cannot reach villages to rescue pregnant women in labour. “Family members have to use a bicycle or wheelbarrow to get the pregnant woman to the waiting ambulance, putting the life of her unborn baby at risk – and hers too,” says Mirembe. To common Ugandan citizens, good roads mean saving lives and access to market.
Some progress is being made however. A road linking Uganda with South Sudan is due to be completed, in addition to many other rural roads in the countryside. In the recently passed budget, infrastructure took the lion share of 13 %. Defending this unusually huge proportion, President Yoweri Museveni said: “When you talk about agriculture, you must not forget the roads.” Foreign investors, moreover, appreciate transport infrastructure too.
Mathias Kasaija, the minister of finance, agrees with farmers, traders and health workers that Uganda needs better roads: “That is why this year’s budget is looking at boosting growth through infrastructural development.”
The construction of good roads across Uganda will boost the economy, create additional job opportunities and improve market accesses and health for rural people. As a landlocked member state of the East African community, moreover, a functioning road network will improve trade relations with neighboring countries and improve Ugandan’s access to sea ports.

Very sad !

Actual combat may have ended almost a decade ago in northern Uganda, but for many women abducted by the rebel Lord’s Resistance Army and the children they conceived in captivity, the war is far from over.

What you can send to your sponsored child from Uganda , and gifts cannot be sent :
Because of strict mailing and customs regulations in the various countries where we work, gifts should be insert in to 8-1/2" x 11" and 1/4" thick envelope

If a customs official opens a box of letters and finds a piece of jewelry, clothing, food, etc. the entire box of letters gets held until the customs fee for the one item is paid. This unnecessarily delays the delivery of many sponsors' letter
