PROJECT IN Uganda, Sudan

Iris Ministries Sudan-Uganda

The project in Sudan supported by Project Held is part of Iris Ministries Sudan. This falls under the branch of Iris Ministries Mozambique, founded by Rolland and Heidi Baker. Iris Ministries Sudan started in 2006 in the south of the country. Michele Perry is the founder of this ministry in the largest country in Africa. The head office is located in Yei city. The children's village 'Yei Children's Village', where the sponsored children lived at that time, started in the same year and is also located in Yei.

However, they fled to neighboring Uganda around 2015 because it was no longer safe to stay in South Sudan. Carolyn Figlioli, in charge of the project, currently cares for more than 100 children who are cared for by 23 people belonging to Iris Ministries Sudan/Uganda. The children's home is located in Luweero.

The aim is to give the children a home and to participate in the family together. The gospel is central to this and the children have all built up a special relationship with the Lord. The day starts early in Uganda. Breakfast is served together with bread and tea, after which the children go to school. The older children stay in the children's village where they help with various chores. When the other children come back from school, they also help with the various chores. Many children also accompany hired workers in the children's village, such as farmers and painters, to practice the trade they are learning. Of course there is also time to relax, play games and do homework.


In the evening all the children come together to eat. Dinner usually consists of rice, beans and vegetables. Once a week the children get chicken and once a week they get fish. On Wednesday afternoons and Friday evenings, the children gather for worship, teaching and prayer.

The moment the door opened and a very enthusiastic child flew around my neck was very emotional
Iris Ministries Uganda: The center led by Carolyn Figlioli started in South Sudan. During the war, many children became orphaned or fled from the dangerous situation during the war that caused them to lose their parents.
Foodstep: has its location in Entebbe in the middle of the village where children are taken care of and who come from what shall we say, quite painful background.

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.

For the children we had a program outside with crafts and games.

Soccer shoes
A poor family in Africa often does not have enough money to send their child(ren) to school. Therefore, they will soon "force" their daughters to marry early so that they are taken care of. For these young women there is no chance to learn and build on their qualities and gifts. Hope4hope in Kenya has decided to include these young women in the football trajectory. In this way they can build on their qualities and limits and also look up and indicate these. In this way they make themselves more resilient and they are stronger in society. There is such great enthusiasm that unfortunately there is always a shortage of football boots, balls and clothing. Especially the shoes wear out quickly and playing football barefoot causes the necessary injuries. These girls are very happy with their own pair of shoes! It gives them the chance to fight, train and get stronger in the game. you see the girls liven up day by day. Sometimes they are on the field before dawn and can't wait to get started. Will you help with a new set of football boots? You have no idea how grateful they are to you!

1 Semester of school fees
Due to Covid-19, war and economic fluctuations, school costs have skyrocketed in parts of Africa. Many families cannot afford this increase. As a result, the children do not receive education and can end up in crime. Education offers the chance to get out of poverty, work on your future and give the children hope. It will also be difficult for our projects to get all the children to school. Despite the sponsorship, the school costs and the supplies they have to provide themselves have become so incredibly expensive. In addition, food and other costs have also increased, so we receive an emergency call from various projects. Take Triza for example: Triza is the 4th child of 6 children and is 14 years old. Her mother is the breadwinner since the father is out of the picture. The mother occasionally works as a cleaner or sells some food, but that is hardly enough to feed all the mouths. Triza has been receiving help from Hope4Hope since she was a little girl. Triza is smart, creative and talented soccer player. Her dream is to become a nurse to help others. For that she has to learn for a few more years. One semester costs 300.00. Who will help her make this dream come true? Of Evans: Evans is a diligent, hardworking and honest boy from a family of 5. He is an orphan. The project has supported him since he was a young boy and he has no one but the project. He grows into a determined boy who wants to become an engineer. One semester costs 300.00. Who will help Evans to make his dream come true? Finally Mwanaidi: Mwaniadi lives with her grandmother as her parents left her behind. Mwaniadi is supported from kindergarten, but the costs are too high. Mwaniadi surprises everyone with her intelligence, talent and, given her young age, very good at playing football. Mwaniaidi can also express herself fluently, which makes her ambitious as a lawyer. One semester costs 300.00. Who helps Mwanaidi to realize her dreams.
