The Challenge
The Situation Facing Vulnerable Families
Mityana District has many vulnerable children, orphans, widows, and struggling families who need practical, spiritual, educational, nutritional, and social support.
Many children come from humble families that cannot easily provide school fees, scholastic materials, clothing, meals, and other basic needs. Some children drop out of school because their families cannot afford the requirements needed to keep them learning.
There are also widows, women, and youth who need economic empowerment, skills training, spiritual encouragement, and support to strengthen their families. Without support, many households remain trapped in poverty, dependency, and hopelessness.
Samaritans For Children - Uganda is working to minimize this problem in Mityana District, but the need is bigger than what one organisation can handle alone. This is why partnership, prayer, giving, visitation, and moral support are necessary.
Why Partnership Is Needed
We cannot wipe out this problem single-handedly. The needs of children, orphans, widows, women, youth, and families require collective action and faithful partnership.
And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him; a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Problems We Are Seeking To Address
Vulnerable Children
Many children lack stable support for education, clothing, scholastic materials, food, and emotional care.
School Dropout
Some children leave school because their families cannot meet school fees, lunch fees, uniforms, books, and other learning needs.
Feeding & Nutrition
Children and families need food support, especially malnourished children and those from very poor households.
Widows & Women
Widows and vulnerable women need empowerment, training, startup support, and spiritual encouragement to strengthen their families.
Limited Resources
The needs are many, but resources are limited. Sustainable support is needed from friends, partners, churches, donors, and well-wishers.
Spiritual Need
Many families need hope, prayer, the Word of God, pastoral care, and spiritual encouragement in difficult seasons.
