Sponsor a child in Uganda/PCS

| ceapu

Uganda, an East Africa country, comprises of 21 million children, translating to 46%of the total population.   Many of these children are trapped in poverty and are not able to access education. This is especially true with children from the Kisoro area who have been orphaned due to the aids pandemic and the constant wars in our neighboring countries of DRC and Rwanda especially the 1994 Genocide.

This situation has been made worse by Covid-19 pandemic, where some parents lost their business / jobs due to prolonged lockdown and the long closure of schools that exposed many children to abuse and exploitation.  Many even lost their lives.

According to UNICEF, around 1 in 10 school children did not return to school in January 2022 after schools were closed for nearly two years. 

Out of the 91% children that enroll for primary school, 53% complete primary and only 34% complete secondary school.

Our sponsorship program through Christian efforts against poverty supports children from poor and vulnerable backgrounds to enrol, keep in school and complete their education. We provide children with school fees and other school needs as well as supporting children and their families to becomes economically self reliant. 

We focus on children from pre-school to higher institutions of learning – giving children a life time opportunity to support themselves, their families and the community where they leave. This year 2026 we will have one of our children graduate with a bachelor of social work and social administration from kabale university.

We can only do this with support of people like you – who commit to contribute monthly, termly or yearly to ensure a children enrol, stay in school and complete their education.

ALEX’S STORY

| ceapu

Alex Munyantwari:

 “The Least of These”

Delivered from Poverty in Jesus’ Name Pastor Alex Munyantwari was born into extreme poverty in Kisoro District, near the borders of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, in Uganda. His childhood was marked by hardship, illness, and hopelessness, yet his trust remained in the Lord.

As the third of eleven children, Alex faced deep challenges when his father left home to seek casual work in Kampala. With no income, his older brother and sister were forced to leave school. Alex continued his studies, but without financial support, completing his education seemed impossible.

Everything changed at age eight when he enrolled in a Compassion International-assisted child development center at a local church. Through that program, Alex received healthcare, quality education, and consistent love. That intervention marked the beginning of hope and restoration for both him and his family.

As hope grew, Alex excelled academically. After graduating, he was selected for Compassion’s Leadership Development Program, which provided him the opportunity to earn a university degree. This experience shaped the trajectory of his life and instilled in him a deep commitment to transformational change for individuals, communities, and nations.

Alex holds a Bachelor of Theology from Uganda Baptist Seminary and a Bachelor of Development Studies from Uganda Christian University, along with several leadership awards. He is passionately committed to theological training for pastors, discipleship, and leadership development for all believers. He is also a strong voice on the frontlines against poverty in developing countries, advocating that the Church must play a central role in breaking cycles of poverty.

Today, Alex is the Founder and Director of africa discipleship network

Gods heart for the orphans.

| ceapu

Many times in life there are people who are unappreciated, abused, or abandoned. The poor, the widow, and the orphan often fall into this category. They are the forgotten…the unseen. But while the rest of the world may overlook them, God doesn’t. Scripture is clear that God has a special love in His heart for children. Jesus stopped, despite His disciples’ rebuke, to spend time loving on little children. He also tells us to be like little children and to view Him as our Father.

If Jesus has a heart for all children, how great do you think His love is especially for those who are left behind without parents to love and guide them? God tells us again and again in His word that He loves orphans and has an incredibly compassionate heart for them. He is their Father and their Protector, and He invites us…His children…to participate with Him to care for them. This is the sole reason we are here.www.ceapu.com

When it comes to orphans…

God is a Loving Father

The Bible illustrates over and over that God loves orphans, that He holds them close to His heart, that He has compassion and mercy on them. Although they may not have an earthly father, He is their eternal Father and longs for them to enter into an intimate relationship with Him. They may be overlooked in this world, but God sees them and chooses them. LOOK

“A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families …” (Psalms 68:5-6), “For in you the fatherless find compassion.” (Hosea 14:3 NIV), “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.” (John 14:18), “You have been the helper of the orphan.” (Psalm 10:14) and

 “For in you the orphan finds mercy.” (Hosea 14:3 NLT)

 God is a Mighty Protector

Not only does God passionately love the orphan, He proudly protects them. Scripture gives us multiple warnings from God against those who mistreat or oppress the orphan. This is in such alignment with the Fatherly love He has for them. If you love someone, you will defend them at all costs. If you see someone abusing them, they better watch out because you’ll come after them and make them stop! This is exactly how the Bible describes God’s stance against anyone who is messing with His children.

“Do not take advantage of a widow or an orphan. If you do and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry.” (Exodus 22:22-23)

“He executes justice for the orphan and the widow.” (Deuteronomy 10:18)

 “Do not mistreat or do violence to the stranger, the orphan, or the widow.” (Jeremiah 22:3)

“Then I will draw near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against…those who oppress…the widow and the orphan.” (Malachi 3:5)

 God Invites All of Us to Join Him in Caring for Orphans.

So what about those who are not oppressing the orphan? Clearly, we’re not in danger of the wrath of an angry Father, but God still calls us to do more. God has made His people, His church, and His disciples to stand as one and connect their hearts with His. He invites us to partner with Him to care for, love, and defend the orphan. Although this is something that God can do on His own, He desires to have us work with Him. Isn’t that amazing? But this isn’t something we can do from the stands. This is an intentional invitation from the Lord to get up, get involved, and give back to Him as we care for His children.

“Learn to do good; seek justice, reprove the ruthless, defend the orphan, and plead for the widow.” (Isaiah 1:17)

“When you reap your harvest in your field and have forgotten a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it; it shall be for the alien, for the orphan, and for the widow, in order that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.” (Deuteronomy 24:19)

 “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.” (James 1:27)

“Once our eyes are opened we can’t pretend we don’t know what to do. God who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls knows that we know and holds us responsible to act.” (Proverbs 24:12)

As we discover God’s heart for the orphan, we can’t help but recognize the similarity of His heart for us – for you and me. God is also our loving Father, our Mighty Protector, and Generously Invites others to care and defend us. He pursued us when we were abandoned, alone, and lost. He took us in, giving us the “right to be children of God” (John 1:12).

Don’t you see, we are not to simply pity orphans and feel bad for them? We are called to be filled with compassion because we can relate. We were once orphans too, before our heavenly Father adopted us into His eternal family. Now He’s calling us to join in His work: to love, pray, advocate, defend, sponsor, support, and adopt.
