Kwagala Means Love

We are an NGO in Jinja, Uganda with a home for vulnerable children...

 

...most of whom lived on the streets, as we seek to build relationships and learn how to help empower their families.

 

KWAA-ga-la

...means  “love” in the local language of Luganda.

“This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us....  Dear friends let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.” (1 John 3:16-18)

We have welcomed a new boy into our Kwagala family. Solomon is 10 years old and has been living on the street since last December. He is unsure where his mother is and his father is in Kenya so he was living with his step mother who had been mistreating him. As Solomon settles into Kwagala in the next few weeks, we will be researching the whereabouts of his family. In the meantime, the boys are happy to welcome a new brother at Kwagala! #kwagala #kwagalameanslove #uganda "What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make." -Jane Goodall #youhavetodecide #makeadifference #everybitcounts #loveyourneighbor #kwagala #uganda Cheesin' cause it's Friday evenin'. Happy weekend y'all! 😁 #smilesfortheweekend #friday #cheese #kwagala #uganda We are blown away by this incredible group of students! This weekend almost 100 students from RCHS in Ottawa, Ontario went above and beyond in raising support to participate in this year's Ugandan Mile fundraiser. 30 hours of little to no sleep and a whole lot of love and support! Thank you so much to each and every student and to all the staff and student council who made this year's fundraiser a huge success! #kwagalameanslove Four years ago today, Kwagala's long-awaited vision became a reality when we welcomed our first boy, Emma. We had almost everything together to furnish our home when we heard the news that this young man needed a place to stay, right away. We may not have been 100% ready, but when God gives you such an opportunity to carry out your vision, you take the step. Faith. You make room - in your house and in your heart. And so we did. When you say yes to God, He provides. And so He did. We opened our doors for Emma and since our doors were open, God had a passage-way to fill up our house with all that we needed so we could begin the journey of Kwagala, the journey of love. Beginning with each individual child and carrying that love to their families and communities. How fitting that God chose Valentine's Day, the day of love, to start this journey that our name, Kwagala, proclaims. #love #KwagalaMeansLove #itsallaboutlove #lovemakestheworldgoround #Kwagala #Uganda #valentines Next week these four young men will be starting their new vocational education courses. We are very proud of them for doing so well on their placement exams for the different classes they'll be taking and for their eagerness to take this next step in their education. [From left to right- Daniel: Catering and Hotel Management, Bosco: Motor Vehicle Mechanics, Living: Construction and Management, Ronald: Motor Vehicle Mechanics] We are looking for some more monthly support for these four in this next step of education they are taking and would be so grateful if you'd consider partnering with us. Feel free to visit www.kwagalaministries.com/donate to sign up for monthly, tax deductible donations - American and Canadian. #KwagalaMeansLove #Education #NewSteps #Uganda This month our international coordinators Robbie and Malia Palmer made the move to Ottawa, ON after living in Uganda the last four years. It will be an emotional adjustment having our team be spread across the globe but we are looking forward to the growth this new step will bring Kwagala as now our organization is strongly represented in Africa and North America. We are so excited to share the marriage of our executive director, Raoul and his bride, Astrid. Congratulations to this wonderful couple! Kwagala is blessed to have such amazing leadership.
