Sponsorship

The Power of Sponsorship

Literacy of Love has the belief that by changing one life, we will cause a ripple effect. Our children are the hope of their families, and yet, they will also, hopefully, be the change to break the cycle they come from. Our vulnerable and destitute children have a wide variety of backgrounds. Some were abused, some rescued from dire circumstances, some orphaned while others were abandoned, or their basic needs were neglected.

Our primary goal is to nurture our children's minds and souls, nourish, shelter and provide an education. The children range from preschoolers to young adults, and we even support widows and grandparents.

Meet Future Leaders

Meet a Future Leader!

This little one was born to a hopeless, impoverished teenage dad. The mother abandoned both dad and son. His dad struggled to care for himself let alone his child. Both son and dad had no prospects for a future.

Now, his dad is skilled and working as a small business owner, and his son, as seen in the photo, is overcoming malnourishment through proper care. He's healthy and was first in his class at school! Both dad and son are treasured successes of the Literacy of Love Sponsorship Program.

THIS is the POWER of LOVE in ACTION!

Meet Ssembatya

Ssembatya is nonverbal. Because of his disability and poverty, he was denied access to schooling. We found him hand-making bricks in the village and living in awful conditions. His grandmother had no way to care for him, so she desperately gave us complete custody.

He is now an apprentice of one of our graduate welders who cares for him and advocates for his future.

Personal Connections

Literacy of Love creates connections between families and the children they sponsor. Cari facilitates letters between you and your sponsored child. Cari personally knows each child, and we work hard to develop special and personal connections.

All worthwhile education in Uganda is private, and children typically board at school. Our goal in the future is to build our own Secondary School to alleviate the high costs and burden of secondary education fees. We have big faith, so we have big dreams that goal will one day be a reality.

We have worked very hard to keep costs low, and our fees are ONLY a reflection of the bare minimum needed to raise and educate a child. Schools make personal requirements compulsory. These items include such things as paper, notebooks, test fees, uniforms, pens, toilet paper, toothpaste, bathing and washing soap, etc.
