Pastor Jackson Senyonga - Transforming Uganda One Orphan at a Time

Pastor Jackson Senyonga's Christian Life Ministries - Uganda Orphan Family

The home that we have built for them are better than good when in comparison to where the orphans have been living. Even a middle-income person in Uganda would be glad to own a house like the ones we build. Most of them lived in mud-built houses or one-roomed house that was over-crowded. Many never owned their own bed, so coming to the Village is a huge plus!

When we tell children that they have beds now, they always express that they have never owned one before. Many had never owned a mattress or even a blanket.

When the kids first come and are handed their belongings, we have to encourage them to leave them in the house. They are not used to having these things and are afraid if they set them down, they will go away. i.e. instead of using the blanket, they clutch it to their chest and hold on tight.
