Child Sponsorship
We invite you to alter your perception of life's essentials by providing for a child in need. The cost? Eighteen (18) euros or fourteen (14) sterling per month. If you wish to pay online with one off payment, we ask for a full year payment of £168 (Sterling) or €216 (Euro). These funds go directly towards the child’s education, school books, uniforms, and in some schools a meal daily.
Building Schools
Throughout East Africa vulnerable children are living lives of depreviation. The greatest tragedy is their lack of education. Given the opportunity to attend school, these children could develop skills so that they could be contributing members of their family and community. Help build a school and open the gates to a new future.
Education
Construction of the school is only the beginning; our Education programmes allows us to ensure that the school walls are not the only concrete means of security and protection. Our Education Advisor monitors the quality of the education, the management of the school, the qualifications of the teachers, as well as leading teacher workshops, all in the interest of the ensuring the quality of education.
Wells of Life
Clean accessible drinking water is a luxury in parts of East Africa. Many people suffer due to waterborne disease. By making clean water accessible, the incidents of sickness will drop dramatically and improve general village health. It has been noted in reports that where clean water is available that infant mortality drops dramatically by 50%.
Gifts of Life
Restore dignity and empower a family by purchasing a Gift of Life. Why not help an East African family today by purchasing a Gift of Life for your family, friends or loved ones, whether it is a sewing machine, a milk goat or an exotic pig. It is a perfect way in which you can make a direct difference helping people to become self-sufficient.
Health
Fields of Life Screening and Immunisation Programmes (SSIP) uses suitably qualified Ugandan medical staff from a nearby clinic or hospital to immunise the school children; therefore, the focus in prevention and maintenance. In addition, the construction of Rapha Health Centre has enabled the provision of accessible medical services for the Gomba Mpigi district. The three other health centres for which Fields of Life lends it support are Lira Health Centre, Kyanja Medical Centre, and Kalingo Health Centre.
Leave a Legacy
Who has had the greatest influence and impact on your life? Perhaps it is your spouse, parents, best friend, or a business partner. Have you ever thought about creating a living legacy to honour them and their legacy to their loved ones? Think of the difference a school, a contribution to a health programme or a well, could make to a village community in East Africa. By creating this legacy in their name, you are creating a timeless gesture of love and honorarium, as well as positively influencing the lives for generations of East Africans.
Income Generating Project
Micro Credit schemes are being offered in communities where people are receiving loans to start small businesses. This project embodies our slogan of helping others to help themselves, because the best way to assist someone out of the imprisonment of poverty is to equip them with the tools to scale the poverty barrier. Money is only a part of this equation. This provides a community with a source of dignity and enables them to make positive lifestyle choices.
Write Gift
Want to send something more tangible than money? How about pencils? Can you picture a child’s response when handed a pencil cases filled with pencils, coloured biros, a ruler, erasers, sharpeners? All these things are the tools (at a bare minimum) that will equip a child to tackle his or her schoolwork. Many East African children cannot afford even a pencil. Your gift will help a child to take the first to empowerment – access to an education.
