It is a great blessing that we received our cause funds. We have been able to renovate our center because of these donations. This grant was very useful because as we had indicated, the house needed to be renovated to help parents and youth find a place to learn different skills. This has been achieved. After receiving the grant, we issued a tender and the winner of the tender repaired the house properly and now it looks very beautiful. It is a blessing to the church, and we sincerely thank the donors who gave us the grant to renovate the house. Our God, who is not unjust like people so that good deeds are forgotten, may He bless them abundantly. Now the house is being used for various crafts, including 10 caregivers learning hair braiding, 10 caregivers and 5 youth learning to make serving trays made from banana fibers, and 15 parents learning to sew. These skills will no doubt help the caregivers and youth develop themselves and their families.
At the Child Development Center, we support 235 children who attend classes every Saturday, along with 30 expectant mothers and numerous children under two years old. These participants regularly engage in our program, as we strive to improve their living conditions and combat poverty through sustainable interventions.
One such initiative is our Tailoring skills program, designed to empower participants with practical, income-generating skills. Through this program, 10 children and 30 parents have successfully learned to use Tailoring machines, and their enthusiasm and dedication have been inspiring.
However, the lack of a proper venue for Tailoring activities remains a significant challenge. Most sessions have taken place on the project office veranda, which is far from ideal. Recognizing this pressing need, we launched a project to construct a dedicated Tailoring center to provide a suitable learning space.
With the support of the church congregation and caregivers, we made mud bricks for the center and prepared the site. Thus far, we have managed to raise the building structure and paint it. However, the center is not yet fully functional. The floor remains unfinished, and we lack critical elements such as glass for the windows to ensure security and insulation.
Our vision is to complete this center to provide a safe, dedicated space for children and parents to learn Tailoring and to store the necessary tools, including Tailoring machines, tables, and materials. Your support can help us bring this project to fruition, empowering the community with opportunities for skill development and economic self-reliance.
To have well equipped youths ready to contribute to the church and the country's development in all life aspects in Jesus Christ
