Uganda Update & Needs:
We are currently farming 4 acres in Uganda to supply food for our orphanage of 600 children. Every 3 months it costs $1500 to plant and harvest enough food for these orphans. We greatly appreciate your help. We are trying to get this crop in before the dry season hits.
This year we have made many improvements to our orphanage in Uganda. We have bought more beds, mattresses, blankets for every child, we put a cement floor in and made benches in our school. One of the big remaining needs is a latrine pit and a toilet for our kids. We’re getting reports regarding our latrine pits that were completed before, that they were not done properly and are making it very dangerous for the children. Estimated cost for this new project to be done properly is $3200. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Contact Pastor Dennis, dhislop@pureheart.org or 602.866.8850 x812 for more information.
