Enabling Evangelism, Empowering Disciples
When you make it possible for a Kinship Project to rescue an orphan, you not only change and save their lives, you uplift their souls. You enable Kinship Projects to rescue and provide for orphaned children. You empower Kinship Projects to raise disciples. The Kireka Kinship Project in Uganda threw a celebration event like no other. They invited all the kids from the local community to come and join them for a special day of evangelism, education, and entertainment. It was a day of fun and learning that left a lasting impression on nearly one hundred children. The day began Newsletter
Spreading Joy and Hope Through Music: Elijah’s Calling
There's no denying the fact that music has a way of moving us that mere words cannot. Music can bring us together, heal wounds, and offer hope to those who need it most. And this rings especially true for Mugalu Elijah, a 22-year-old Kinship United alumnus who calls the Kireka Kinship Project his home. Elijah's love for music started at the age of eight when he first heard the caregiver at his Kinship Project singing hymns at their local church.

A Safe Place to Rest Their Heads: The Bakka Kinship Project
It's incredible to think that something as simple as a bed and a place to sleep can have such a profound impact on a child's life. For Abigail (5), Praise (7), and Joyce (7), it means the world.

It may take time (we’re in this for the long haul!), but through patience and prayer, our children begin to heal. We start to see them smile more and laugh a little bit. They slowly begin mouthing the words to songs at church and eventually singing out loud. It can also be that they stop flinching any time someone moves near them too quickly. Kinship Projects try to offer their children a multitude of resources for them to Music
No Timeline on Trauma: How Long-Term Care Helped Jefferson Heal
When a child experiences extreme trauma at a young age, the side effects of it can often be long-lasting. And even after an organization like ours rescues that child, healing doesn’t happen overnight. Which is why Kinship Projects offer long-term solutions and care for children like Jefferson. At the young age of only two, Jefferson experienced extreme trauma at the hands of his father. Child protective services in the Dominican Republic asked our Cayacoa Kinship Project if they could care for young Jefferson until he healed and could be placed with another family member. However, his road to recovery was Child Stories
