"The problem with the world is that we draw the circle of our family too small"
Children's Clubs
School Partnerships
Financial donors provide the necessary funding to implement the much needed scholastic change, as seen through the purchase of land, the construction of school buildings and the provision of scholastic materials. Additional help is offered in the form of teachers’ conferences and consistent payroll services.
This project was inspired after witnessing both the need within JENGA’s education sponsorship system and the desire from international donors to help improve the Ugandan schooling system. JENGA serves as the missing bridge connecting the two.
Street Children's Ministry
Children forced to live on the street lead incredibly difficult lives, often relying on food found in rubbish bins to feed themselves and younger siblings. Maintaining regular school attendance is almost impossible, and a reliance on drugs and alcohol is common as one of the few accessible means of coping. Through playing football and other various games, meeting with the children to pray, sing, and learn bible stories, JENGA helps to cultivate a safe environment for the children to escape the stressors of the street. JENGA is also involved with helping to resettle older street children with their families and to provide materials and funds needed to keep as many children as possible in school.
LOVED Children's Centre
LOVED not only reaches some of the neediest children, but has also partnered with a local charity school who provide experienced social workers to work directly with the parents. By offering parenting trainings, income generating business support and savings groups, the parents of children at the centre can be equipped to provide for their families on their own.
