Did you know that we provide safe housing for 10 of our students and one of our mamas? Last year, we converted a struggling guesthouse to Casa de Shalom, a Home of Peace. We consolidated all of the people that we were paying rent for to this one property. It’s just around the corner from our Forever Ministry Home, which means the students can easily walk to us and we have much easier access to all of them!
The students who live at Casa de Shalom have hopes, dreams, and the same desire for safety and dignity that we all share. A secure place to live is more than just a shelter—it is the foundation for health, stability, and the chance to build a bright future. The five people who help keep this compound safe receive a livable salary at the end of every month.
How do we help?
His Heart For Africa’s mission is to share the love of Christ by providing education for children and care for the elderly in Jinja, Uganda.
No schooling in Uganda is free. Families pay for everything. No mom should ever have to make the choice between feeding her child and sending her child to school. His Heart For Africa comes alongside moms and grandmas who are taking care of their children to the best of their abilities. These women work hard but don't make enough money to provide a roof over their heads, food, and an education. We help alleviate some of this difficulty by providing the school and lunch fees as well as school supplies, so a child is fully prepared to receive an education.
There is also a need to care for the elderly. Hospice, nursing homes, and assisted living do not exist here. Relying on your children or neighbors is the only way that you will be taken care of as you get older and near the end of your life.
