The harsh reality in Uganda
|
Project Held has been supporting a new children's home in Uganda for several weeks now, called Foodstep. The children's home is located in an area where many witch doctors are present, which causes atrocities in the area. Stories that really go beyond our understanding but unfortunately are the harsh reality.
|
|
For example, a boy was recently brought to Foodstep whose feet were burned by his parents because he was learning to walk and kept running away. He is now lovingly cared for and is currently still receiving special food with extra vitamins because his feet were always infected due to the burns.…

|
There is also a girl who was found as a baby in a slurry pit. Her mother threw her daughter into the slurry pit and set it on fire. The girl suffered serious burns here, but has healed well due to the good care at Foodstep. At the moment we support a number of children here but we would like to sponsor all children. Take a look at our website to support a child.

Great news from Mozambique
|
Corrie Ockhuysen runs the children's home in Mozambique that we support. In March she was in the Netherlands and we took her to the beach of Harderwijk to have a nice chat. For example, she told us that she was able with help from other organizations to buy a piece of land for the 18 plus children. In Mozambique, the rule is that they are no longer allowed to stay in the orphanage, even though they are often not yet ready to do everything independently.
|
|
On this piece of land in Chinonanquila, 20 minutes from the children's home, there will be housing for these young adults. Here they will follow various courses, including agriculture, so that the chance of work is greater. A church will also be built here. All in all, a wonderful development to which we as Project Held would like to contribute.
