The Chioldren of ARSF


We are forming partnerships all over the world with people who care about African children—especially those whose parents have been lost because of poverty and illness. We are looking for people who are generous in heart and spirit to help develop schools where these children can find hope again as they seek to rebuild a future for themselves, their families, their culture and their country.

The children of ARSFThese children and their teachers are eager to share their stories, their dreams and their lives with you. Some of the children have lost one or both parents because of poverty, illness or AIDS. Perhaps you are a person whose love and generosity can offer support in some way to help these children build their schools, their country and their future through the power of education.

 

We invite you to explore this site to see what we are doing in Uganda. So many possibilities are coming to fruition because of people like you who see what a huge difference you can make with your caring and sharing. A little goes a very long way in this part of the world. Won’t you join our efforts? Thank you!


 

We must raise $23,000 to replace the old, temporary, wooden classrooms with new brick ones. Each brick costs $5 and you can use your donation as an alternate gift in honor or memory of someone special. Click here
