Lillian's Orphanage

Mugalula Community School in Uganda gives free education to children who cannot afford the basic requirements to attend free public school (shoes, uniforms, pencils, notebooks, and lunch each day). Lillian is the director of this school and has dedicated her life to advocating for the impoverished women and children of her community. She leads the mothers and guardians in the community to make Vaseline and soap to support both their families and the school and teaches the women to read and write.

In addition to her community leadership, Lillian has also adopted 14 children, many of whom lost their parents to HIV/AIDS. In the beginning, they were living together in a tiny one-room home Lillian rented. Last year, the government required that she separate the boys and girls into two different houses. This proved to be a manageable expense until May 19th, 2015, when the landlord more than doubled her rent. Lillian can no longer afford to provide housing for these children.

Lillian went in search of a new place to live, and learned that right across the street from Mugalula Community School is a house and an acre of land being sold for only $10,000. This property would provide not only a safe, stable home for the children but also a source of food and income, as Lillian could farm the land for bananas, avocados, corn or beans.

Raising $10,000 to buy this orphanage would be a home for the fourteen children as well as a permanent safe place for the women and children of Mugalula Community in need of help for years to come.

Please support Lillian by sharing this video with your friends, families, churches, and schools and consider donating right now to give this Ugandan family and community a place of safety, hope, and love.
