WHAT’S NEW IN THIS YEAR 2021?

·         The world reopened slowly after Covid-19

·         Supported many who were sick by paying for diagnosis and treatment

·         Supported families and individuals recovering from financial loss d/t Covid lockdown

·         Distributed food during 2 separate big giveaways sponsored by global donors

·         Continued raising chickens purchased in late 2020

·         Assisted the elderly with food and money provided by global donors

 

ACTIVITIES

Education

·         Our students were supported with fees from our friend from US and UK.

·         Unfortunately they were sent home 3 weeks after starting again due to covid lockdowns

 

Poultry project

The income generating project continued. The chicks were bought in September of 2020 and continued to grow bigger into 2021. Unfortunately the project continued to be troublesome due to supply chain issues with feeds and supplements. They were fed well but it took more financial resources to maintain their usual diet. They were all sold by mid-year though locally as opposed to taking to them to Kampala where they fetch more money. The project was temporarily put on hold until the world stabilizes more post covid. Some of the profits were donated to finish a land purchase for Brother in Christ Ministry.

                           

  Agriculture

 

We have continued to plant maize especially for food and chicken consumption. We planted around eight (8) acres of land again in the year 2021.  Trees were planted to help the environment.  A piggery house was constructed and our momma pig had 8 baby piglets

Food Distribution

Thanks to our loving and caring donors around the world, we were able to have several food giveaways this year.  Some money was also distributed from donations. It enables them to purchase foods they like. 

ACHIEVEMENTS

       

  Funds were raised for food and cash donations and were distributed

·         Continued integrating piggery into farming.

·         Planted trees to help the environment

·         Many  elderly individuals were assisted with food and medical relief

·         Poultry project continued until chickens were all sold

·         Joined by new friends/ volunteers.

·         Acquired solar for the Many Mansions office

       Land purchase completed in Acet Gwen

 

 

CHALLENGES

·         Poultry business was affected due to covid again (supply chain issues) and is now suspended until further notice after selling the last chickens.

·         Covid infections still affecting the country though less and lockdowns lifted only to be enforced again

·         Challenges in mobilizing funds for school fees and other ministry goals and needs

·         Need for more land for expansion and agriculture

·         Delayed renewal of the organization permit due to reduced hours and staff at govt. offices  even after lockdowns lifted

·         Covid affected Cheryl and she had to return to America for treatment and recovery. She did return in September 2021

WAY FORWARD

·         More mobilization for funds to run the projects e.g. poultry, agriculture, school fees, food and medical care, Hospice care etc.

·         Continue strategizing for better planning

·         Protect from Covid 19

·         Prayers

·         Work on the renewal.

·         Review some of our objectives

 We applaud and sincerely thank all of our friends from United Kingdom, United States and Australia for standing with us in another challenging year for Ugandans. May the Almighty God reward you abundantly.
