Sponsor a Widow and her Children For $50 a month, you can
sponsor a widow and her children through Hearth to Hearth Ministries. That
amount will help her feed and clothe her children as well as help meet expenses
of primary schooling for the children. The children these widows care for may
not be their own; they may be her orphaned grandchildren or her orphaned nieces
and nephews. Kampala Widow Secondary Students

Agnes is a 20 year old girl
living with Edd Kibuka, a peasant. When Agnes was 7 years old, her father (a
farmer) was pierced with a poison thorn in the garden, and died 6 days later.
She and her sister were then split up. Her sister went to live with her
grandmother, and Agnes with her aunt. Her aunt had no job or money, but someone
else supported Agnes' education from P-5 to S-2. When she was in S-2, 2nd term,
her support person, an old lady from the neighborhood, died. She had to leave
school in 2003, and has not been able to return. She had hopes of becoming a
doctor, but due to her age, she has now decided that she would like to take a
course in tailoring and earn money to support herself. She really needs a
sponsor to help provide funding for the tailoring course, and perhaps eventually
she will be able to continue her education.
