inspiring hope. one family at a time.Institutions don't change kids' lives, families do. While the quick fix to the orphan care crisis in Africa is to build orphanages and give kids the most comfortable life possible, in the long term it makes the situation exponentially worse. Kids need families. We believe we have been called to take away all the barriers that might keep a child from their family or tribe of origin so they can grow up learning what family looks like. You can be an integral part of that. You can be a forever family to a child you may never meet. And we think that's worth investing in.
Our first 2 transitional homes are built! Thank you for attending our Ribbon Cutting Ceremony via Facebook LIVE! The House Parents have been vetted and chosen and we have welcomed children into the homes! (You can read more about the kids, the House Parents, and restoration stories on any of our social media pages, occasional email updates, and blogs.)
From Julie's birthday (May 9th) until Bucky's (August 7th) birthday, we are hosting a friendly competition to see which of our founders can raise the most donations for funding Benjamin House's Transitional Homes! Our goal is $10,000, which would fully fund our Transitional Homes for one year! If Julie wins, Bucky has to learn a traditional Ugandan dance and perform it for us! If Bucky wins, Julie has to learn and perform the dance! If we reach our goal of $10,000, they BOTH dance! The best part is that no matter who wins, we'll all be helping to restore families in Uganda! Donate to choose your dancer! (choose whose fundraiser to donate to in the "My donation is for" drop down box). Please pray for the funding of these homes as well as for each child who will receive healing and help inside these walls as we find them suitable and loving families. 
What is Malaria?
Malaria is a mosquito-borne disease caused by a parasite. People with malaria often experience fever, chills, and flu-like illness. Left untreated, they may develop severe complications and die. Who does Malaria affect? Malaria kills one child every 30 seconds; About 3,000 children every day. 42 will be Ugandan. Over one million people die from malaria each year, with the majority being children under five years of age. 90% of malaria cases occur in Sub-Saharan Africa and an estimated 300-600 million people suffer from malaria each year (with only 1,700 of those cases taking place in the U.S.). April 25, 2018 was World Malaria Day. Click below to see the many ways you can help us fight the bite! |
