Message from the Founder

Dear Friends,

We are calling you to come and work with us in empowering impoverished women and children by providing spiritual, physical, and vocational education regardless of social or religious background. Africa Greater Life Mission seeks to reduce poverty, build families and community, and enable individuals to enhance their spiritual, social and sustainable economic development.

We at Africa Greater Life Mission are dedicated to helping disadvantaged children, especially the AIDS orphans and helpless children, by working together with families in Uganda, Africa to overcome poverty and hopelessness.

The organization was formed to respond to the increasing needs of the AIDS orphans (children whose parents have died of HIV/AIDS), as well as the civil wars in our counntry, Uganda. We realized the children’s plight needed an urgent attention and we could not just stand aloof and pity or sympathize with them, but we must be help them in attaining their full human dignity.

As you are aware, AIDS continue to have a far greater impact on Africa than any other continent. Though Uganda has some promising results on the prevention of HIV/AIDS, its impact has taken away a generation of fathers, mothers, uncles, aunts, and friends. This impact of loss is going to be felt for decades of years. A new generation of innocent orphans is left behind with no one to take care of them. The Ugandan extended family system, like many other developing countries, has been the core support provider for orphans, but AIDS, combined with other social and economic pressures has pushed the extended family system to breaking point especially in the worst affected communities here in Uganda.

Most of our children are AIDS orphans, many come from one-parent families and some come as “Street generation children”, abandoned and abused, with so many needs. Poverty, illiteracy, neglect, emotional scars and poor health are common problems. We are providing long-term care (24/7/365) for these children, raising them to be contributing members of their own society.

The future of these children is our heart beat… And just telling these poor kids, “God loves you”, may not make sense to them until we show them God’s love wth a hot meal, change of clothes, safe place of sleep, a listening ear, a warm hand on a trembling shoulder, and, above all, giving them a chance to a constructive future through educational training. It is for these reasons that I am inviting you to partner with us to help these children and bring hope and long lasting smile on the faces of these children.

We will be very glad to hear from you soon.

Sincerely yours on behalf of the needy and neglected children of Uganda.

Rev. Joshua Magezi
