Nursery:
Near Mbale where we live there’s a slum area called Namatala, where IDPs from the north (mostly people from the formerly-opposing Karamajong and Tesso tribes) struggle to make ends meet.
And there’s a church there, called Mustard Seed, which has opened its doors to local children. We’re working with them and in February 2008 opened the new Child of Hope Nursery, where 3 teachers we employ bring a pre-school education to poverty-struck kids - to give them a great kick-start in life.
With education, a child has a chance. OK, this is just pre-primary education, but it will make a massive difference to a child who starts learning at an early age. They’ll want to keep going.
Longer term, we’d like to open more of these centres, working hand-in-hand with local churches who know the parents, know the prevailing circumstances... and know how God can help.
