    OUR COMFORTER

Mercy Uganda is honored to be involved with Veronica Nakyewe and the Comforter Center, the pregnancy care center in Uganda where Veronica is the director.  Below is a picture of Veronica and her staff and volunteers. Veronica is the lady at the top, left.

 Through the 152 Campaign that we ran in 2008, and the partnerships that were formed, we raised  $152,000.00, providing the resources Veronica needed to purchase the building the Comforter Center had been renting, and which was up for sale. We were also able to provide an Ultrasound machine for her in this same campaign, and our partnership with International Aid.

This is Veronica with her Ultrasound Machine, purchased through the 152 Campaign.

The Comforter Center is a pregnancy center that has ministered to thousands of women in Uganda, and has saved countless babies. They also go into the schools teaching abstinence education.  Our ministry liaison, Lauren Walker, will be working closely with Veronica in this ministry while serving in Uganda for the next eighteen months. This will be one of several projects she is preparing to work with through Mercy Uganda and our ministry work with women and children.

 STUDENT DESKS

In September 2010, a team will be going to Kyamagemule to build 40 desks which will seat 200 children.  A financial gift was provided for this project to to be completed. 

Above is a picture of the current desks at Kalangaalo/Kyamagemule. The picture below is what the new desks will look like. The desks below were built last year for a school in Kajjansi.  We are excited that men in the village of Kalangaalo will help our construction team build the desks in September 2010.

 Rahab House is a safe home for girls as young as nine years of age, who have been rescued from prostitution.  We had the honor of visiting Rahab House and seeing the awesome ministry to these precious young ladies.  They receive counseling, education, love, encouragement, and most importantly, they experience the love of Christ.

For more information about Rahab House, please e-mail them at: rahabuganda@yahoo.com

This is some of the girls from Rahab House singing and dancing a beautiful song about the love of God.
