COVID-19 Response

All our children are well and cared for. Please do not stop your financial gifts for our schools and other ministries. The needs are great. Please pray for our sponsors that are facing financial hardships, our ministry and that God be glorified!

"As the Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) spreads to low-income countries including Uganda, health authorities have intensified prevention measures that have been lauded by donors and the general public. There is no confirmed case in the country so far . . .” - source World Health Organization
The Ugandan government has implemented the following policies:
all incoming and outgoing flights to end 20-March-2020
all schools, churches and large gatherings to cease immediately
Our Ugandan Sonrise Directors are working hard to comply and protect the health of their employees and children to include our schools and churches. Our girls that are in non-Sonrise boarding schools, will be coming home to the Children’s Home and Mirembe Cottage.
Please pray that God protect the health of our 700+ school children, 100+ Ugandan employees and their families during this time. Thank you for your continued financial support so we can feed and provide the necessary medical care we strive every day to provide for those in our area of influence.
May God be lifted up in this challenging time as our salvation, provider of health and peace.
