Turning Desperation Into Promise

There are an estimated 1,000,000 orphaned children living on the streets of Uganda in unimaginable and tortuous conditions due to HIV/AIDS, civil war and domestic violence. With your help, Way to Grace will rescue as many as possible. Please help us bring hope, and the love of Christ, to these children as we lay the groundwork for a children's village in Eastern Uganda.

Each dollar counts and every dime matters! Your donation of any amount brings the goal closer. For those who would like to finance an expense in full, I have included each funding opportunity, its dollar amount and when it's due.
Can you imagine being three, four, even 10 years old and being orphaned, left on the streets of the largest city in your country, and no one to turn to?  Not only being called a rat (mmese) or a scavenger (chokora) but also being treated worse than an animal?  If this child were a puppy in any city in the U.S., more than likely within minutes it would have been scooped up, cuddled tightly, bathed and fed before lunchtime. This child, and  10s of 1000s just like her, are right now living on the streets of Uganda with little hope of ever being rescued.  Sometimes they will share a far off dream of being saved from the cruelty of street life.  All they want is to be safe, to know someone, anyone, loves them, and to be able to go to school. But these children are living a nightmare.  They are sexually abused, severely beaten with rubber hoses, sticks, and wire.  Police brutally assault them at night while they sleep in groups to try and protect themselves. Some shop keepers hide huge bear traps to amputate hands, feet, fingers and toes; the “just” recompense for stealing.  It’s appalling. Beyond comprehension - they are children - and yet it is happening, right now. These facts are only a mere glimpse of the terror they face day after day. A World Health Organization funded study estimates the street child population of Uganda to be near 36,000 while UNICEF’s numbers reach a staggering 1,000,000. HIV/AIDS related deaths, civil war and domestic violence add to the numbers daily.We will rescue as many as your financial contributions will allow.  Way to Grace is a Christ centered, non-profit pending organization determined to liberate these children into a life every child has the right to. We will be acquiring sufficient land to build small group housing because every child should have a home where they know they are loved and protected. Quality education with advanced opportunities will transform their perspective and lift them up, their communities, industry, business, and their homeland. We are committed to recapturing the innocence of these children and raising them to be honorable, loving and responsible adults, well equipped for a successful life. There is hope.  And we will bring it to them but we can do nothing without help.  Please consider partnering with us today.  I leave the end of December to start this process.  God has moved in mighty ways to bring people and circumstance together in a very short period of time.  Your contribution transforms desperation into promise.  The need is great, the conditions urgent.If you have any questions or would like more information, please call or email me and visit www.facebook.com/waytogracemissions.

We are blessed to bless others.
