To help the children care for others, an offering will be taken daily. This years offerings will be given to the Nyaka Aids Orphan Project.
Over 1.1 million children in Uganda have lost one or both parents to HIV/AIDS. Both extended family members and orphanages face enormous obstacles in attempting to care for these children. These orphans and other vulnerable children go without basic human needs that many of us take for granted, including: food, shelter, clothing, health care, and education.
Orphans in Uganda are often forced to fend for themselves, making them responsible for income generation, food production, and care for sick parents and siblings. These orphans may also be the first to be denied education when their families cannot afford to educate all of the children in their household.
The Nyaka Aids Orphan Project addresses these needs. Nyaka currently provides services to 43,000 HIV/AIDS orphans living in southwest Uganda. The director of the program, Jackson Kaguri as well as the the U.S. offices reside in East Lansing.
Our daily offerings will benefit the wonderful programs that the project is doing on a daily basis!
