Raising Children Foundation is located in Uganda, Africa. Lubowa, who has his own medical needs, works incredibly hard to give the group of orphan children in his care the life they deserve, with God's help. This includes obtaining an adequate amount of food and necessary supplies. However, he is not able to provide for all the children, in addition to himself, without the help of donated funds. Those who feel called and able to donate make buying these necessities possible, by God's grace.

His Story:

"My name is Lubowa Pius and I am an orphan who choose the life of taking care of fellow orphans at the orphanage since they are like family to me plus helping the needy people in my society under our Community Based Organisation called Raising Children Foundation (RCF) where we take care over 30 kids ranging from 3- 15 years.

Sometimes I feel like questioning God since no one deserves to be in such a situation where life is all about living by chances and many people might judge or doubt me but it's the bitter truth since here in Africa many people sleep hungry and many sleep without knowing what to eat tomorrow. Sometimes rats live a better life than us since it can even take 2-3 days without eating a proper meal but only surving on picked fruits which is not healthy.

We honestly seek for your support in order to afford proper and better meals since many kids have faced ulcers due to delay or failure to get what to eat.

We also want to afford rent for a good accommodation since many kids are sleeping outside on streets and with experience I know what it means, due to many problems associated with it such as rape, defilement, torture and unwanted pregnancies especially to the girl child. In addition the kids also deserve better medication and education just like other kids and education is the best gift you can give to an African child since it's the only key to his/her future.

I personally I cannot afford all this since I don't work with any big organisation or government and I do sell cooked eggs, carry people's luggages on market days plus digging in people's gardens to earn a living and it's not even enough to provide for any of the needs.

I hope this touches your heart, if not to help the children today to help someone in your hometown that [has] needs, an animal on the street, for the world lives by God and also by our kindness and love."

On behalf of Lubowa, I would like to provide the opportunity to help both him and the children of the Raising Children Foundation live without the fear of struggling to survive. Lubowa truly inspires faith in those around him, and I hope his story inspires you as well.

Thank you so much for your consideration and prayers!
