Uganda
Coordinator: Minister Maate Yubu
Project: WeRemnant JRaq Orphanage, Nursery and Primary School outside of the refugee camp in Muhokya
Update: Greetings in JESUS’ Name. During the month, the school has been going well academically, though there are some limitations such as the toilet at the school. The toilet is no longer in use because it’s broken and hence it has affected the school activities and limits academics for teachers and learners.
Accomplishments/Testimonies: Our key successes are: Academic excellence among pupils; fellowship between the learners and teachers; good feeding among the teachers and orphans; and teachers have received their upkeep in time. We have the following testimonies: Teachers testifying about the reception of their salaries; spiritual growth among the orphans; and good feeding among the orphans.
Issues: We have the following issues: Our school toilet is now broken, and pupils cannot use it; renovation of the school at WeRemnant JRaq; and the purchasing of cases where orphans will keep their clothes.
Follow up: All the school activities are being followed up and there is much improvement in those activities. The purchase of farmland is being followed up, and the orphans are being monitored.
Next 90 Days: Purchasing of farmland where the children will be planting food. Purchasing of land where the school will be constructed. Construction of new school toilet and WeRemnant JRaq house toilet.

Coordinator: Lois Grant
Project: Nsalu Early Childhood Development (ECD)
Project Update: We still currently have 15 toddlers coming through the ECD program. There are no major changes this month.
Accomplishment: We are still continuing with teaching the parents the Word of GOD. There is a lot of interest in wanting to learn. We managed to harvest our eggplant garden this month and we are hoping to sell some so we can get a bit of income.
Issues: We are trusting the LORD for financial support from our donors. We have been having challenges with feeding the toddlers adequately.
Next 90 days: We are looking forward to the visit of the coordinator for Africa to purchase land for farming, to see how we can use this to grow different types of crops. When sold, we will be able to use the money to sustain the WeRemnant projects.

Kenya
Coordinator: Bishop Caleb Wanjala
Project: Building Church-Schools, Providing Electricity in Remote Villages, and Digging Sustainable Wells in Remote Villages and Refugee Camps
Update: Greetings, this month we have experienced an increase in the population from the previous month from 51 to 68. We are hoping to receive more pupils. We are therefore requesting an additional classroom and learning materials such as iPads.
Accomplishments/Testimonies: We have the successful transition of our third-grade class to fourth grade, which was a major achievement. We received good feedback from the community about the contribution our school is making in the community.
Issues: Due to the fall of the USD, we are encountering difficulties in adjusting the pay to our teacher and running other projects. Kenyan country coordinators are also using their salary for transportation, so if the salary delays, they fail to reach the schools and collect information.
Follow up/90 Days: It will be very impressive if we can manage to repair our school walls because we have experienced heavy downpours here for the last four months, which in return, damaged our classrooms.
