July Charity Offering - Peter Kasozi’s work in Uganda

The July charity offering is for the work of Peter Kasozi in providing schooling in Uganda. In particular, since the farm area at Busiika is so remote, they have a big challenge of getting electricity at the school. It is usually on for around 3 days in a week which means they can't pump water some days, then the kids sleep in darkness some nights which is very insecure, also they can’t run the computer lab without electricity. Life becomes a bit challenging. So their prayer is that they will get a good solar system which is more dependable and stable.

June Charity Offering

The June charity offering for Motor Neurone Disease Association totalled £390 - many thanks for your generosity.
