Family Sponsorship

Mama Arlene has been working with local leaders who come to her with requests for families in extreme need.

Three years ago one of those requests was for a family with a teen as head of household because the parents died from HIV aids. These are HIV aids affected children.

One family, of 5 brothers, has been on their own for 3 years, since the oldest was 14 years old. John Peter is now 17 and cares for his brothers, John Paul 16, Claver 13, Janvier 10 and Felix 8.

A representative of the local village receives the money from Urukundo and purchases what the family needs including school sponsorships. They are fortunate to even have a house, but there is little else for comfort.

Felicite from Urukundo Home, a loving Christian woman working with Arlene, follows up with the family to make sure other needs are met such as clothing and simply connecting with them. This is an important effort to keep siblings together in the same household.

So all who have supported ME on this mission will be supporting this family of boys for the year. Of the many donations I received, $525 will support THEM for the year.

Please pray for this family of boys. Omitted from the photo are the two youngest boys that were out. Thank you for all you do for children throughout the world.
