HELP FUND SMILE AFRICA CHILDREN'S MINISTRY TO FEED THE HOMELESS AND ORPHANS.
Date Published:
Dear wishwall foundation, We are grateful to know you through our partner charity organisation called muwanga Development association, as well as its managing Director mr. sentamu Ronald, who gave us advise to write to you hoping that you can be of great assistance to us as in SMILE AFRICA CHILDRENS MINISTRY, a community based organization(CBO) www.smileafricaug.org
Down here is our information about us, who we are, what we do, to who and where.
Smile Africa children's ministry is a registered community based/ charity organization registered under the Uganda government through the office of Nasana Municipal council, Wakiso District with registration number NMC/CBO/1604/25.
Smile africa children's ministry has been providing access to free education for the orphans and homeless children in the community for a year now and feeding them from our own grown food crops.
We have also been improvising on donations from our well wishers in the community forexample (schools giving out bursaries), churches and individuals in the community but due to the financial difficulties that has befallen our country. It has become very hard to continue with the program.
We have also a small piece of land that is rented to us by the community (half an acre) where we plant our food crops forexample maize which we turn into posho or milled maize, beans and some vegetables that support our feeding program.
But due to lack of enough rainfall this year, we could not get plenty of harvest and we couldn't grow enough short term crops for example vegetables because we lacked enough water so far.
This means we cannot properly provide for our children as we should.
Currently we are caring for 40 children, these children need daily feeding but the task seems now to be too big to handle.
So our situation is dire and we are struggling with no money. The number of children in need grows each passing week.
As the community is abandoning us, we humbly ask while on our knees, that you don't turn away. We need your help more than ever. Your donation can bring great hope, smiles and support to these children.
Smile africa children's ministry long term goal and mission is to create additional projects/programs to improve the standards of living of these children and the charity to become self sustaining. Forexample, we hope, with your financial support to build a spring or well of water which will enable us to grow food all year round.
About the founders, smile africa children's ministry is a community based organization (CBO) that was founded by Naluzze Milly Mirembe, Sentongo Samuel Nakabaale and Kiggundu Michael Joel.
These were all raised by struggling single mothers who managed to provide for their children through adversity. Having meet at the University with the same vision of seeing a changed generation full of hope and smiles through providing social, physical, spiritual and financial support to the vulnerable groups.
Finally, our wish is to be supported with funds to rent more land because currently we have half an acre, we also need to buy seeds, fertilizers, garden tools and hire more labour, so that we can get a bigger harvest which will make a bigger impact.
Initially we have been using these children to grow their food but this time , it will be a different story. This has been stressing to the children.
Below is a breakdown of our budget.
1.Renting 2 acres of land @300,000=600,000/= $158
2.Labour of 4 workers/people @400,000=1600,000/= $421
3.farm equipments
-pangas-@7000 -7000×4=28000/= $7
-Hoes @20,000- 20,000×4=80,000/= $ 21
-lakes@15000- 15000×4=60,000/= $16
Seeds
-vegetables-100,000/= $26
-maize@2000/= per kilo.30kgs×2000=60,000/= $16
-Beans@4500 per kilo-20kgs×4500= 90,000/= $24
Organic fertilizers for-2 acres, 50kg @100,000×50kgs=500,000/=+ 25kgs for the available half an acre.
So 100,000+250,000=1250,000/= $329
Organic pesticides and insecticides
300,000/= $79
Transportation -100,000/= $26
Grand total= 4768000/=

The community will benefit from the project whereby labour will be got from within the community and the harvest is going to be feed to the children from this community.
Lastly, concerning the environment, we plan to use organic fertilizers, organic pesticides and organic insecticides.
