Will you help us continue to serve the children?

The following are the largest increases in the budget for 2026. Each category lists the total yearly increase. We are believing in faith that God will stir hearts to meet these needs:

Education

$9400 increase

11 additional rescued children are attending private Christian schools in 2026. This brings our grand total to 82 children who are being supporting in school!

Community Outreach & Development

$1900 increase

This increase will allow for expansion into one additional community in 2026, bringing our total to three communities. In each community, we provide Gospel-centered opportunities such as parenting & marriage workshops, job skills training, and Bible studies for about 180 people. A significant goal of this community outreach is the prevention of child sexual abuse and trafficking. The Gospel of Christ Jesus is the focal point of all community work. The long-term goal is self-sustained communities, who are not dependent on Lupins.

Food

$3100 increase

Food costs in Uganda have been increasing for several years. Additionally, the children often arrive at the safe home in poor health. By providing proper nutrition, we quicken the healing process. On average, 14 children are at the safe home daily, with up to 30 present during school breaks. The children daily receive breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks.

The total need is $14,400.
