Uganda August Newsletter 2011

From Miriam Koote, ND

We have been greatly overjoyed for how far the Lord has brought us this year. This month we have been able to serve many youth and grow in ministry. Below is how you have made a difference in lives of those we have reached.

Counselling Ministry

young mothers and their babies

We cared for 20 pregnant teenagers of whom seven gave birth to healthy babies and six resettled back home. Pregnant teenagers in our care are progressing well physically, socially, emotionally and spiritually. The young mothers and the children in Suubi home are in their school holiday, so having time to form more attachment with each other.

Starfish Programme

Mentoring sessions for children and young mothers

Mentoring sessions with the theme “I waited patiently for the Lord” were carried out at the centre with the children and young mothers from the 23rd-25th of this month. They were able to share more about their lives and also make life changing choices.
