Helping The Disabled


SGU is helping two local young men Jimmy and Christopher with new wheelchairs.  At the time we are repairing the ones they have while waiting to purchase much needed new ones.  Fred has really enjoyed making new friends and hearing their stories. It has given him a chance to better understand their needs and struggles.
Please keep them in your prayers.  They both suffer from polio which is a preventable disease in Africa for those that can afford the vaccine.

The 3 New Boys

Fred wrote today to say they have welcomed 3 young boys in the program.

We have Daneil who is 10yrs old, total orphan, the parents died of AIDS, we have Walter 7yrs old, total orphan, Parents died of AIDS, Ibara, 8yrs old, total orphan, parent died of AIDS. We hope to add more boys soon.

Daneil was found last month with Emmanuel who has returned home to his Father's house after counseling the family and follow-ups.  Fred said that the boys are real miracles and that their lives are already transforming.  We can expect to hear from him by the end of the month with more good news.
Walter is the one being funny for his first photograph.

8 Boys Graduate from SGU


We are so proud of our new graduates. They have worked hard and have accomplish so much. All of the young men will soon be going back to their villages with a new life ahead of them.  While at Uncle Fred's House, these boys have learned they are valued and loved by God and others.  They have learned to forgive those that have caused them pain. They have learned the importance of  honesty and trustworthiness, being responsible for themselves and others in their care. The boys also learned how to grow and harvest crops which is a necessity for survival.


All the graduates have also finished their vocational training in the field they chose and will be receiving new tools from SGU to start their businesses. 

Uncle Fred worked hard with the local community in obtaining the land that the boys lawfully owned when parents died.  Our many thanks to Fred, Quinto, Pamelle and the community for helping these boys towards a future.

Peter and Maxwell has been asked to stay on with SGU as junior staff members.  They will go on to be trained in areas of nurturing and counseling for the younger children in the Uncle Fred's House program. Congratulations
