Back to School Jan 2014

Back to school campaign

Back to school Campaign 2013


School season is finally here and ripe; over the past 4 years Shalom Namutere project has been supporting 54 children with their education needs in what we callback to school campaign, this year we have received requests from 7 more guardians with about 16 children hoping that we can give them a chance to go back to school, our team has identified additional four families with children who need to be sent back to school 6 of them, I have also identified one girl who dropped out of school in Senior 2 and she is working as a house maid so she can get some money to educate her 2 young brothers, she is however willing to go back to school in case there is a chance for her and her brothers. This therefore means that we have about 25 new kids whom we have to take in for our back to school campaign to help them get education because we believe the future lies in these little ones.
So 54 from last year and 25 coming on board this year we increase our number to 79 children and 2 care takers to make it 81 in total;

I strongly believe that you and me can both do something about this by supporting this course and help give them education they deserve, through one of the following ways.
1. This year we will be having 2 in high school and 9 in secondary school, you can adopt 1 of them for support or contribute towards the entire group, the fees structure ranges between 200,000/= to about 500,000/= per child per term for schools which are not very expensive. And there are 3 school terms per year so that is a total of between 600,000 and 1,500,000/= per year per child.
2. You can donate books (exercise books, text books such as English Dictionary, Pens, pencils and colour pencil) to the entire group or to some of the kids. 
3. You can donate sanitary pads for the girls.
4. You can donate school shoes and uniforms or towards that.
5. You can also contribute towards the child care centre we are planing to put up a meeting hall with different class rooms
6. Contribute towards the construction of a community High school which we plan to put up this year.
7. Finally you can also contribute towards the sustainability of the care takers who receive only 60,000/= per month each.
Thank you so much for taking your time to read through this message, looking forward to hearing from you and hopefully making you our partner because together we can make a difference and give hope and a future

All amounts above are in Ugandan shillings at an exchange rate of 2,500/= per 1$

THIS IS JUSTICE NOT CHARITY

Giving Honor to whom Honor is due! Tom Fjermadel Shalom Clinic

  The Story of the Tom Fjermedal Clinic and Shalom Namutere Project The Shalom Namutere Project (Uganda) has been a beacon of hope in our community, addressing critical education, health, and development needs for nearly two decades. This progress has been made possible by the unwavering support of dedicated friends, churches, partnerships, and different groups to whom we are greatly indebted.   In this issue, we highlight Tom Fjermedal, whose generosity has indelibly impacted countless lives. A Friendship That Sparked a Movement In 2006, while living and working in Norway with IFES Norway (Laget), the director of the Shalom Namutere Project met Tom Fjermedal.  Tom’s kindness was evident from the start as he took on the role of a guide and friend, ensuring a smooth and welcoming experience during the director's time in Norway. This friendship became the foundation for a partnership that would later impact an entire community in Uganda. Inspired by a vision to address pove...

Strengthening the Church, Transforming the Community: Our Ongoing Partnership with Apollos Training

  Strengthening the Church, Transforming the Community: Our Ongoing Partnership with Apollos Training Two years ago, we entered into a meaningful partnership with Apollos Training with a clear and urgent goal: to equip local pastors in our community, many of whom have had no formal pastoral training. In our context, we cannot separate the spiritual growth of the church from the holistic development of the community. While we continue to respond to physical and psychological needs as best as we can, we recognize that the deepest poverty is spiritual — a lack of connection with God. That’s why investing in the spiritual leaders of our community is foundational to the transformation we long to see. In our first year, we were amazed to gather over 200 church leaders who participated in training focused on the basics of discipleship. The impact was evident — pastors walked away encouraged, equipped, and eager to serve with renewed understanding. In January of this year, we launched ...

A BRIGHT SPARK OF HOPE!!

Special Issue: From the Director's Desk.  When I took a team of five people at the beginning of 2024, I was simply doing what I love: bringing people alongside me . It’s almost the best way to tell the story of Shalom, because pictures alone don’t do us justice. This time, I want to share about Waswa (not his real name). After only a few days of Waswa’s involvement with the teachers at Shalom Care, I could see a bright spark of enthusiasm. But what came next was truly amazing. After our trip, he sent me a book that became a great encouragement for my work with the community. Here’s a portion of his letter: "‘Children of the Dust Bowl’ is a book I used to teach about the Great Depression of the 1930s. About halfway through the book, Leo Hart is introduced. He realizes that a large segment of his community is not receiving the education and healthcare they deserve. Instead of just complaining, he decides to do something about it. After our trip, I instantly saw you as a present...
