Walking along Hadrian's Wall · 29 May 2012

We partner with the people of Kabubbu, a rural community in Uganda. Working with our sister NGO, we transform lives by providing funding, lifting many out of poverty via our Primary & High School, Health Centre, Training, Farming School, Tourist Resort, Church/Community Centre & welfare programmes.

Story

 

Caroline & Chris Thompson are raising funds to build a house for Rachel - the little girl in these pictures who we sponsor in Kabubbu in Uganda.  We will be walking along Hadrian’s Wall from Jul 2nd - aiming at 70 miles from just outside Newcastle towards the sea beyond Carlisle.   

Rachel was abandoned at birth - left outside the mud hut pictured here.  An old lady called Epifrance took her in and has been looking after her since then.  Last time I saw Rachel she was a bright, happy child – enjoying school.  Sadly Epifrance is getting towards the end of her life and is often ill, leaving Rachel in a vulnerable situation.

A secure future for Rachel can be provided by building a 2 roomed house where she could be looked after by a foster mother under the guidance of the Kabubbu Development Project (supported by Quicken Trust in the UK).  Other children without any living relatives could share this home.  It will cost £4,500 and Chris and I are hoping to raise funds for this over the next 12 months.   100% of any donations made will go direct to the project in Kabubbu.
