Sponsorship means a lot to children in southern Uganda. One of our workers, Albert, tells us that the children often call their sponsors Mum and Dad. They value not just the financial help and the chance to go to school, but also the knowledge that somebody cares and loves them. For some of the children, this is not something they have experienced before.
Albert himself was able to finish his education thanks to a World In Need sponsor. After spending a year as a volunteer worker in England, he has now returned to Uganda and is working to assist our southern Uganda representative, John Kukuriza.
Albert wrote a letter of thanks to all sponsors recently, in which he said, “all sponsors who pray, communicate and support children – you are heroes and surely God honours such work.”
Sponsorship changes lives, again and again and again. It provides opportunities that would otherwise be denied and ensures that people are not held back simply because they were born in poverty.
