This is Benjamin (pictured with Eva). Benji knows how it is to be an orphaned child, when we met him at age 12, now 22- he was tending the goats instead of tending to his education. Sponsorship has changed his life. In 2023 he will graduate from MakerereUniversity with a degree in Human Resources Management. He plans to use his degree to continue his work as the Director of Adored International Ministries in Uganda. He has such a heart for seeing children grow thrive and grow up to change Uganda for the better.
Hope is the key to a good future! We can’t wait to see changed lives continue under Benji’s thoughtful and caring hand!
This is James. James is an orphan that was living with his sisters and grandmother, attending a school under a tree. As James has HIV, he was not getting the nutrition he needed to stay healthy. He lacked food, clean water and clothing. Now 13 years old, James is in 6th grade and excelling. He has dreams of becoming a surgeon. That is until the day he met John- a sponsor that told him about what it is to be an airline pilot…now he may change his career choices! As the world opens to our students through interacting with our sponsors via zoom (or a visit), both of our world’s are changed for the better! We believe in you James!!
This is Susan, pictured here with her son, Judah. Susan is a teen mother of two that got pregnant during the pandemic. She was forced to quit school, and although she really wanted to finish, there were no funds to care for her sons and her tuition. Through sponsorship, she is nearly complete with her final year of culinary school. Earning a living wage will change the future for her and her children.
Francis is an orphan that suffers from HIV. You wouldn’t know it though with his style and swag! Francis has recently completed Senior 4, and is heading to a two-year course to become an electrician.
Joseph comes from a single-father home where times are extremely difficult. His father is a farmer. Joseph is physically challenged with a lame leg. He is such a bright student, he was able to completely skip one grade level in school. He is currently a Senior 2 school, studying at a private boarding school. He wants to be an engineer when he graduates.
Anthony, Christine and Francis are siblings being raised by a single father. Their mother died of HIV. Miraculously none of the three have HIV! We are so thrilled! A local teacher ensured that the boys went to school to keep up their education, while the daughter was taken to an aunts to help out at her home. We have recently found sponsorship for the boys, and have a commitment for Christine! We are excited to share their stories with you!
Angel, Eva and Naome are the light of our lives! These three orphan girls live at our Adored International Ministries home. They have been with us now for 8 years and are growing and thriving. Wow, their lives would be different before sponsorship. All three are complete orphans, but now have a loving place to stay and a hope for their futures! We can’t wait to see what wonderful young ladies you will become!
