We currently have 18 vocational students that are in need of sponsors. It is $35(CDN) per month and EVERY cent goes directly to the students education or medical expenses!!

Mutagubya Dennis


Dennis is in one of our Kindergarten classes. He is one of the sweetest little boys in Kibaale, always greeting you with a wave and big smile!

Both of his parents are HIV positive and are very weak, they are unable to work. His family was so thankful when they received "Maize Flour" as a special gift. Maize flour is a staple food in Uganda, and for a family like Dennis' can last them 3 months!!

In the dry season many families struggle to provide enough food for their families which makes Maize Flour a great special gift!! 

To see more about the special gifts you can buy for your sponsor child or a "where most needed" gift go to www.kibaale.net

Thank You!!!
