Orphaned Man Helping Orphans
Joshua Mbogoli, orphaned at a young age, takes good care of the orphaned youth under his care and those in his village. He raises funds for their food, education, and general well-being. Having had fairly long discussions with Joshua, it has become apparent that he not only desires to provide for these children materially, but also with great care - genuine love. He asks deep...

Grinding Sorghum Into Flour To Make Drink - UGANDA

(The following letter has undergone minimal editing so as to bring greater clarity to the reader, but also to remain consistent with the education, culture, and message of its Ugandan author. English is spoken and written different there to some degree. For example: During my visit in Uganda, I saw many barbershops that were incorrectly named, "Saloon" instead of "Salon". I've also commonly seen Ugandans use the word "pattern" when they meant "partner" (when they desire to partner with someone in ministry). I believe that this is commonly taught incorrectly in Uganda. While English is the second language in Uganda, many incorrect words like this are commonplace there due to the various levels of education of the populace.)


A Letter From MAGRA's Founder:
MAGRA stands  for "Miserable Abandoned Groups Redemption Agency".

MAGRA Jr. School & Orphanage is a non-profit organization aiming at "restoring the lost hope" by providing medical care, clothing, feeding, and education, improving the standards of vulnerable and orphaned children in Kabale district in the Rwanda-Uganda borders. MAGRA started a school and orphanage home that is currently helping 104 less fortunate children. The organization was started due to the increasing number of vulnerable and orphaned children in the area. This was a result of:
  • Death of parents due to wars,
  • HIV/AIDS
  • Normal death
  • Child neglect due to pre-Marital sex and early pregnancies
  • Child abandonment

The 1994 Rwanda genocide left many people dead, displaced, raped, and sexually abused in many ways both in Rwanda and neighboring parts most particularly in Kabale district leading to an increase in the number of abandoned, miserable, and orphaned children. In response to this, therefore, it was deemed necessary to start suchlike an organization. Despite the government's effort to educate such children through Universal Primary Education (UPE) and Universal Secondary Education (USE), it was still difficult for the children affected by the genocide, displaced, and neglected, to attain scholastic materials like books, pens, uniforms, and even food. It was found out that some children as young as 14 years were taking care of families of more than four members. Others are being taken care of by very old grandparents of more than 80yrs of age. This has left many vulnerable children unable to access education and other basic needs.

As much as MAGRA has tried to help out these children, it's still challenging. Therefore, getting regular meals, clothing, medical care, rent, scholastic materials, bedding, and enough accommodation is very difficult as the number of vulnerable children is increasing rapidly. In addition, transportation of children to the orphanage and to school is very difficult & usually done with a single motorcycle carrying 3 or 4 people. We are also challenged by a safe water shortage as children have to travel long distances to reach a water source that is clean.

Through MTL, our organization welcomes your goodwill to extend the love of Christ to vulnerable children. Every penny donated is used to purchase educational materials, uniforms, textbooks, classroom blocks, orphanage supplies, medical equipment, land, food, clothes, and transportation.

It costs us $50 per month to cater to the general welfare of a child. It would, however, cost $83 to educate a child for a term of three months. Every amount of donation either one time, monthly, termly, or annually is welcome thus supporting the children through education, food, clothing, and medication. I invite you to help us to create a lifetime impact on a child.

"RESTORE THE LOST HOPE"
