Our Financial

ChangeALife Uganda is dedicated

to improving the lives of orphaned

and disadvantaged children

and their families in Migyera and

Nabbingo, Uganda through

quality education, healthcare

and microenterprise programs.

For seven years, our organization has been targeting specific projects that will have a powerful impact on the lives of oursponsored children and their families.

As we continue to grow and form partnershipswith other non-profits, we see the fruits of our labor and commitment. Importantly, we are fortunate to have the support of our donors large and small, as we make a dramatic difference in these communities.

Following the belief of our founder, FatherLawrence Kimbowa, education is a priority, so we continue to strenthen the curriculum and standards at the St. Lawrence School.The care at the St. Frances Health Center contributes to the health of our studentsand their families, who now have accessto medical treatment. Completion of ourwater project is scheduled for the end of 2014, which will provide the schooland clinic with clean water, a vital commodity. Microenterprise projects aregrowing, allowing more parents – andchildren – to learn skills which will allowthem to be self - sufficient in the future.

We are excited about our progress andaccomplishments, and look forward toour mission of changing lives.

Jean Semler, President
