Having Fun With The Orphans

Someone recently gave a small donation and our staff decided to buy some balls for the orphans  to play with and to try to make a playground for them...

Mukulu Jonathan (Founder and Director of OOCM) is pictured below with the children showing them how to play a game with the ball. Looks like everybody was having a great time...

Widows and Foster Family Empowerment

Attending a meeting of widows.

There are many women  in Uganda and in the villages we minister in who have lost their husbands to disease and poor medical care - many of them with children.

OOCM staff helps widows to increase their incomes by teaching them how to make arts and crafts, etc to sell, as well as helping them to set up other small businesses. Staff helps widows along with the foster families who take in orphans to organize and create additional income ...

The Gift Of Shoes

Recently a company in the USA sent 65 pairs of shoes for the orphans and other disadvantaged children. It was such a blessing to gather the children all together and distribute these wonderful gifts. We were so surprised by this generous gift. What a blessing!

Current Ministry Stats

At present OOCM Makuli houses, supports, partially supports or provides aid to:

  • 37 totally orphans (both parents are dead)
  • 29 (partial) orphans (whose surviving parent is having difficulty or is unable to care for the child at this time, etc)
  • 20 widows,
  • plus the elderly and vulnerable, and needy families in the village community

We simply could not accomplish much of what we do here without the generous gifts of our supporters.
God Bless You All!
