You Can Help Kinship Kids like Moses with These Most Requested Christmas Items
Moses is 14 years old and calls the Buloba Kinship Project in Uganda “home”. Like most of the precious children your gifts are serving, his story has a tragic beginning. Moses’s mother was HIV positive and his father left the family after discovering her diagnosis. He was only three years old when his dad split. A few years later, Moses got cerebral malaria and nearly died. He lost much of his hearing and it was feared he would be permanently paralyzed. His mother, too ill herself to take care of him, reached out to Buloba Kinship Project to help her Orphans
Two Things an Orphan Needs Most this Christmas!
Mary is seven years old, but she looks four, and she has known enough heartache for a lifetime. Born in a slum to parents who begged, stole, drank, and did drugs, Mary’s life didn’t start with much promise. Her father was arrested and beaten by the police to the point that he was crippled and stranded on the street. Her mother got AIDS as a result of their dangerous lifestyle, and died. Mary was left with her poor grandfather, who was unable to provide for her. In fact, so far, no one had been able to provide for Mary. Mary Orphan Rescue

Crisis in Uganda: Mosquito Attack!
Over time, screens and nets tear, and lose their effectiveness. It’s time for some new ones in Uganda! This summer was brutal for our Kinship Kids in Uganda, as dozens came down with malaria. Malaria is a serious disease and can be deadly. Nearly half a million people died of malaria in 2017 alone. And children are some of the most at risk for complications. But thankfully, malaria is both treatable and preventable. Our Kinship Kids were treated and made full recoveries, but we need your help to make sure no more kids get sick.
