A small team from Project Held went to Uganda for a week in February to visit a children's home in Uganda. A visit with the aim of possibly working together in the future.
Foodstep, the children's home we visited, takes care of dozens of children, some children come from a "child prison". These children end up in prison because they lived on the street, were abandoned or abandoned and stole food to survive.
Some children were in the wrong place at the wrong time and were rounded up and put in the children's prison, here they try to get the children back on the right path. Unfortunately in Uganda this is done with a heavy hand, control and fear, which puts these children who are already traumatized even further from recovery.
Thanks to Foodstep, dozens of children have already been transferred to the Foodstep children's home where they can work on their recovery, where they receive love and they are not a number, but learn that they are valuable and loved.
In addition, they take care of children after a phone call from the police or child protection. These children are found in the most appalling conditions and often they do not know who the parents are or the parents are unable to take care of the children.
In short, a special project that offers a home to many children. After this special week, Project Held has decided to work with Foodstep and we will actively look for sponsors for all these beautiful children.
