Prayer And Financial Needs and praises
Updated: 20-Aug-2022
There are so many physical and spiritual needs that must be met in raising our girls in a wholesome, safe, and healthy environment. First and for-most, please pray with us in these needs and that everything we plan and do is accomplished according to the glory of God.
Individuals, churches, or organizations who would consider a monthly donation that would go towards the general needs of Mirembe Cottage for Girls as well as the Primary and Secondary Schools. There are many needs that are currently not covered by monthly child sponsorships.
Mirembe Cottage and School
Director Daniel is in need of a personal vehicle. He has become inoperable. $10,000
Transition Housing We have 10 girls that have been transitioned out of our home because of age. The will be 15 girls in 2022.
Once a girl reaches 18 years old, she cannot live in Mirembe Cottage. For many children, their school is complete after S4 and they are able to go to a university or to learn a trade. For many of our girls, they got a late start beginning school because of a rough childhood. Many are behind years of education. We don’t want to put anyone out into the world until they can support themselves.
While some of this has been known for a years, we’ve not had the funding to address this. Also, the education system has been shut down for almost 2 years because of COVID which has greatly impacted the girls ability to continue their education.
Short Term Need: We have secured a rental home so the girls can be relocated. Immediate need has been met to pay down payment on rental. There will be additional rent payments in the months to come.
Long Term Need: To construct a home for senior girls who are in this transition phase prior to moving out on their own. $33,000
Even with relocation, the girls need job training and employment. We’ll need to hire additional staff and will have increased need for transportation. Please pray for us in this need.
Kitchen for Secondary School and firewood saving stoves construction - $10,000
Vocational School - For Mirembe and the village, we would like to build a vocational school. Many village families cannot afford to send their child to a university after attending Secondary school, so by having a vocational school they will be able to learn a skill.
School Sewing room built. We need 15-20 manual and electric sewing machines and some solar machines for girls who are unable to use her legs. The cost of a combo manual/electric machine is about $200 - $4,000 Need
Need desktop computers, $500/per computer, need 15. - $7,500
We currently have 3 milk cows. We use milk in the children’s porridge, so we need good milk from grass fed cows. This has helped improve the health of many of the children in the community. There is not enough grass for these cows, so we need to purchase more land so they have good grass to eat and will produce more milk.
Elementary/primary school Solar system - $20,000 •
Medical Clinic - $20,000
We have classes for S1 and S2. We need to build 2 more classrooms for S3 and S4- $15,000
