“Each contribution you make is valuable. It makes you part of a solved vision and tells us that in your own way, you are shouldering us. No matter the size of your giving, it is significant in more ways than we can say,” says Kyobe.

It costs $20 (Ugx75,000) to sponsor a child’s school fees, and feeding per month, and $Ugx112,500) to meet medical costs, water and clothing.

Bishop Kyobe says the children at the orphanage also contribute towards supporting themselves by singing for the guests at events such as weddings, they sing in churches creating awareness and when people give in, the proceeds are used to buy food for them and all other basic needs.

“You can invite them to your church, send a gift of clothes or sponsor one of them starting from 50,000, ” said Bishop Kyobe. He says that the church’s objectives is to bring healing to its people and help to rebuild the wasted places of the nation.
