Saving Grace In Uganda - Street Kids

Saving Grace in Uganda works with street children in northern Uganda
Uncle Fred's House is a program of SGU that provides a home for over 30 former street children. Thirteen others have been reintegrated with relatives or have graduated from the program as independent and productive members of the community.
Uncle Fred's House provides a truly loving environment, a formal education, medical care, friendships, counseling, AIDS training, leadership training, discipleship and agricultural training.
The children at Uncle Fred's House are not only receivers of care and ministry. They go out and minister the love of Jesus to their friends still on the streets, of which there are over 300, ranging in age from 4-17. Almost 100 children come to Uncle Fred's House on a weekly bases to be fed, bathe, wash their clothes and receive medical care. But more importantly they are ministered to and shown love and respect.

Our goal this year is to build a children's village to house 250 children. This village will have a school, a vocational training center, and a training center for disabled children.
We will also have a community church and a medical/mental health clinic. Unlike many orphanages in Africa we take in children of all ages, regardless of disabilities, physical illnesses, mental or emotional illnesses.
In the wake of a 23 year campaign of terror, waged by government rebels and targeting primarily children for the pliable quality of their minds and spirits, most of the children have suffered severe trauma.
It is our goal to restore not only these children but a community that has suffered. Every child that we help to realizes their value, heals their community a little bit more.
