Latest Update from the Field

You have helped orphans through your donations.

SACRENA "support 250 Orphans education and Sport project"has penetrated across the Sub Saharan Region.We recently became the runners up for the Uganda-European Union Tournament and we brought Trophy home.It was a joy to see the Orphans celebrate the win and they want to thank all the well wishers and donors through the globalgiving.We have seen challenges of of food distributions at homes for double orphans taking care of fellow siblings.

There is a need of having a kitchen for all the Orphans to eat together as a sign of fellowship,support and physical support.Also there is problem of water as we have to search for 3-4 kilometers.This disturbs children and we seek donors to build for the children a bowhole or a well to help access water for use.Also with the sports for orphans we ask the donations of second hand sports materials like balls,uniforms,equipments etc.Here it is now second term and children have open schools.

Through you kind support we have now paid school fees for 3 girls and have worked with other partners to recruit orphans with disability in other support institutions here.

lastly we would like to hear more from you.i encourage you to communicate directly to us.For advice,information and sharing.We love you and continue to pray that you will continue to have the plight of orphans at heart.
