Hello, Greetings from Uganda.
It's Esther and Janet lovely twins that started up a Community based organization after being touched by lives of 3 children we met without assistance to go to school. On following up these children, we discovered that two of them where orphans and where living with their grandmother in extreme poverty.
Having been touched by the suffering and appealing situation of the children,we dedicated all our efforts towards children of similar situations. We tried to pay school fees for the first 3 children but as the number gradually increased to 8 and later 33 children, it became expensive to pay school fees for them all.
And with that, we decided to start a Children's Community Library at our home to be able to builds future modal learning center for children with disabilities, orphans and children from families living in absolute poverty with no chances of going to school. This is how we started the Organization.
The organization has bended it's activities that include a library with children's books, mentorship services for the children, proving health care services for these children as well as other basic needs including cloths and children's entertainment to enable them appreciate life.
We will be delighted to receive travellers that would love to engage and teach the children at the library.
