How Tusonge Children's Ministries Started
The seeds of Tusonge Children’s Ministries were planted in 2014 when 20 young Ugandan children came to the United States in a children’s choir. Their goal was to raise money and recruit sponsor families to help them and other young children attend school and improve their lives. For 10 months they traveled around the U.S., singing, dancing and sharing their stories. Everywhere they went the children felt the love of Christ. They were encouraged and nurtured. For the first time they felt joy in their young lives. One young girl innocently asked her host family, “Are there any bad people in America?”
​
Unfortunately, as the tour ended, the children and their chaperones learned that the choir would disband when they got home. The children were shattered. They lost faith in the Word of God. They faced a life of impoverishment when they returned to Uganda.
But the Lord wasn’t finished with these beautiful young children. One of the choir’s chaperones, reached out to some of the families who had hosted the children during their choir tour. These families were devastated to hear the childrens’ plight. They quickly banded together and created a non-profit organization dedicated to educating, feeding and caring for the children, and others back in Uganda.
​
Today, Tusonge Children’s Ministries cares for over 60 children. Thanks to generous sponsors, donors, churches and friends across the United States, the children are being educated, housed and cared for. Their joy, love of God, and hope for a better future are once again alive in their hearts.
Tusonge Children’s Ministries is moving forward in a variety of ways.
Our mission is to help the children thrive and grow through love, education, spirituality, hope and happiness. The children are all enrolled in quality schools. They attend church regularly and hold self-directed devotionals every night. Their joy is infectious and a blessing to behold.
Sponsorships
Your sponsorship of a child can open a whole new world to them. Today we have 60 children enrolled in either a highly regarded boarding school outside Kampala, or in schools more appropriate for the capabilities closer to home. Most Ugandan families live on a dollar a day or less. School is out of the question for millions. Your sponsorship provides an education for a child, which can not only brighten their future but their families’ future, as well. Click here to learn how you can become a sponsor.
