A new well for self-sufficiency | Child Care Circle e.V.

Donation goal reached!

We would like to thank all supporters and donors for every small and large contribution to the fundraising campaign for a well! Preparations for the well construction are in full swing and our group of helpers will leave for Uganda on March 17th.

We are grateful for every donation beyond the €8,500, which will enable further important work on the sanitary building and the children's home on site.

Let's give over 100 children a perspective.

In our aid projects in Uganda, it is particularly important to us to promote self-help. Our projects aim not to make the people in the village of Kyewanise dependent on support in the long term but to strengthen their self-reliance and enable them to partly provide for themselves. We want to create good conditions for this.

One of our goals is therefore to expand our agriculture for self-sufficiency, such as the cultivation of sweet potatoes, maize, cassava, beans, peanuts, and peas. Another project is the raising of chickens and cows to supply the children with fresh eggs, milk, and meat, but also for sale. Our older teenagers will take on responsibility and thus learn life practical skills.

Direct access to a water supply is essential for the realization of these projects. For this reason, we plan to build a well during our aid mission in March 2024. Further sanitation and painting work at the children's home will also continue.

To enable all this, financial support is still needed. We are grateful for every contribution!

Why are we doing this work? We believe that children have a need for security and acceptance, no matter where they live. When they know they are safe and loved, they are able to develop in a good and healthy way. And the fullness of ideas, interests, talents and strengths which is inside of children can emerge.

This is not possible if a child does not know where he is going to sleep tonight and what He will eat tomorrow. The loss of one or both parents is traumatic and shakens the life of a little person.

This is why we are supporting needy children in Uganda for years. It is unbelievably beautiful to experience and to contribute to the fact that the help they receive also gives them inner peace and allows them to simply be children again.

We want to give young people a foundation for good and healthy development. When their basic needs are secured and they don't have to worry about them, they will be empowered and enabled to take responsibility for themselves and others. We are currently supplying 116 children and young people in Uganda with food, taking care of their schooling and medical care. We give protection and care to those who have no home in our children's home.

On March 17, a group of volunteers from Germany will travel to Uganda. The plan is to drill another well, this time in close proximity to the fields and farmlands of the organization. The irrigation is intended to support self-sufficiency through the cultivation of food and livestock farming. Additionally, further sanitation and painting work at the children's home will be carried out.

A colorful program filled with games and fun is planned for the children. They greatly enjoy the appreciation and attention, and it strengthens them in their development.

In the fall of 2019, the construction of our new children's home in the village of Kyewanise, Uganda, began. A home for over 100 children.

Thanks to the support of numerous donors and volunteers, the shell construction was completed after several construction missions in 2021 and 2022. In 2023, individual rooms in the new home were made ready for occupancy, allowing some of our children to move in. In addition, construction of a sanitation building with toilets and showers began, and a photovoltaic system was installed for the home's electricity supply.

Our goal is to provide our children with a place where they can grow up safely and call it "home." These are children who have experienced significant suffering and need special care and protection. In our children's home, they can find peace and experience a sense of family community.

A well was already drilled on the property to facilitate water supply for the construction site and to provide the people in the village with water.

The construction project not only benefits our children. It also provides local helpers with work and income during the missions.

You can give a perspective in life by sponsoring a child. If your donation is not only intended to benefit one child, but to support our entire work, you can also donate regularly without earmarking. Would you like to provide us with a larger amount as an interest-free building loan? This is also a great help for the progress of the construction project. In addition, there are other ways to become active yourself: Are you handy talented? Join us for our next build!
