It takes a village to raise a child!
Orphaned children growing up in extreme poverty face hunger and malnutrition on a daily basis, limited access to educational and medical services, and must endure social discrimination and isolation on a scale most of us cannot imagine. Coupled with the substantial job losses, falling income, and widespread hunger among people living in poverty in Uganda, post COVID, and we find children suffering from severe psychological trauma, hunger, lack of shelter, safety, and often abused through forced child labor and sexual exploitation. (For more information, visit Human Rights Watch, Oct. 12, 2021).
Raymond Isaac of the village of Kasambika, Uganda, who himself grew up as an orphaned child, founded the Nalubaale Children's Hope Ministry in 2018 in response to the growing number of orphans appearing in his village. It is only he, with the support of a few others, who care for and attend to the children's needs. By 2021, his small orphanage grew to 34 children ages 4 to 11.
In September of 2021, Raymond launched a social media campaign in an effort to get outside help. NextGen CGI found him and his orphanage shortly thereafter and have since then been committed to sponsoring his outreach efforts on the Internet and in the United States.
Raymond Isaac's self-sacrifices and dream to grow his Ministry is more than deserving of all the help he can get. We must understand the changing landscape of societies and their governments, especially in the poorest regions of the world, amidst the COVID-19 global pandemic and work together to secure a better tomorrow.
Please lend your support.
Why he founded Nalubaale Children's Hope Ministry
"My ministry is a small orphanage located in the village of Kasambika, Uganda. Today I am caring for 34 orphaned children displaced by COVID and other conditions, using extremely limited resources that must be rationed on a daily basis. Given our struggling, my country's depressed economy, and the extreme poverty inflicting the citizens of our nation my ministry can only provide each child with one meal per day and the most basic of medical care and education. My ministry needs help with the funds needed to purchase food for good meals, clothing, healthcare, and educational resources." Raymond Isaac, Founder & Primary Care Provider

Uganda is of the most impoverished nations of the world. Their economic activity stalled during the latter part of FY20 due to a domestic lockdown that lasted more than four months, border closures for all but essential cargo, and the spillover effects of disruptions to global demand and supply chains. This resulted in a sharp contraction in public investment and deceleration in private consumption, which hit the industrial and service sectors hard, particularly the informal service sector. We can help reduce the impact the COVID pandemic has had on Uganda by coming together to lend a helping hand.
"The world and global society benefit when we help orphaned children. Instead of harming themselves and others, they grow up to be responsible, healthy, adults that give back to the community they live in instead of taking away from it. The good that is done, is generational." -Google
