Welcome (and thank you) To Our Newest PFP Sponsors!

In September, we were able to secure sponsors for 5 children! Thank you so much to the new sponsors for Prossy, Abraham, Apio, Aachen, and Alex! We are all so grateful and excited to have you as a part of our team!

Sponsors Needed!

Family Visits

We work hard to help all of the children in the PFP programs maintain a safe and healthy relationship with any remaining family members they have. When resettlement is not possible, we encourage relatives to spend time with the child each holiday (after confirming the visit is safe and healthy). Many of our children went to spend a week or longer with relatives this holiday. We believe this it is so important for each child in our program to maintain family ties and cultural knowledge of their tribe and where they come from.

Family Partnership and Resettlement

Whenever possible, we offer a hand up to our children and families from their own homes. We employ multiple social workers and are spending lots of time searching for living family members, resettling and maintaining family ties, while still ensuring safety. Through the hard work of our social workers, PFP has been able to identify many long lost relatives of children in our program and are now working on reintroducing children to their families and on building those relationships. Once a child has been placed with family members the PFP team continues to make home visits, follow up weekly with each child and identify needs or struggles.

A note from our Ugandan Administrator, Olivia:

During this month,  Ugandan staff carried out the monitoring and evaluation process on the resettled kids and their families, this is to make sure they are safe, happy and to show them that Peace for Paul still loves and cares about them very much. Also this process helps us to identify if there are any challenges these kids are facing in all aspects sorrounding them. The conclusion of the whole process was good, all our resettled children were reported to be safe and happily bonded with their families.

Birthday Celebrations

We always take the time to make every child in our program feel special on their birthday. There is always a special gift and small celebration on their birthday followed by a BIG birthday celebration for them together at the swimming pool during school holidays. Happy Birthday to our September birthday girls and boys! See below for pics of our October celebrants!

Birthday Party

Thanks once again to our birthday sponsor, every child in the PFP program whose birthday falls between the months of May through September had the opportunity to  celebrate their birthday at the swimming pool, with all their PFP brothers and sisters. The celebrations included a big dinner party complete with music, cake a gifts! Fun for all! _{Fabian, Kakuru, Ochola and Joel at the pool}

Love Home Mural

Work on the Love Home mural continues! One of the AHU recipients, Levy takes time out of his busy schedule as often as possible to come and spend time with the young children at Love Home and to continue to build on the mural that will eventually cover the entire wall. Beautiful progress is being made!

Back to School

The school holiday has come to a close and everyone is back at school and studying hard. Good luck at school this term, PFP family!

A note from our Ugandan administrator, Olivia:

After a  one month holiday, we were able to send back all our children back to school, with school fees and scholastics cleared. They are all happily working hard for the promotional term, this third term is a determinant term whether you will be promoted to the next grade or you repeat the same class and perform better.

Nile River Farms

The number of pigs on our farm continues to grow. Pigs are now being sold, and yet another mama is pregnant.  The future of Nile River Farms is looking G-O-O-D! The hope is that we will be able to scale up this business model and start using profits to partially fund the organization’s operations.
