My story

Ramadan has lived in the children's home of Iris Ministries since 2011. He and his sister came from Juba where they were not cared for properly.

Ramadan is supported by impact partner Iris Ministries Sudan/Oeganda

What a day looks like: In Uganda, the day starts early. Together they have breakfast with bread and tea, after which the children go to school. After school there is time to relax, play games and do homework. In the evening, all the children come together to eat and pray. Dinner usually consists of rice, beans, and vegetables. And once a week the children get chicken and once a week they get fish. On Wednesday afternoons and Friday evenings, the children come together for worship, teaching and prayer. Project information: The project in Uganda where your sponsor child is staying is part of Iris Ministries. This falls under the branch of Iris Ministries Mozambique, founded by Roland and Heidi Baker. Iris Ministries is now based in Uganda but originally started in Sudan in 2006. Because war broke out here and the situation was no longer safe for the children, all the children fled to Uganda (Luwero) under the leadership of Carolyn Figlioli (director) where they now officially live. Within the project, 135 children are under Carolyn's care. Together with 23 other caregivers, she ensures that the project keeps running. The older children go to boarding school, which is mandatory in Uganda. Here they stay internally, during the holidays they return to the children's home or visit family. Your support provides your sponsor child with daily food, education and school materials, housing and medical care, so that the children have a great future perspective and they can realize their dream.
