Thankful to God for the street children!
We send you our heartfelt greetings to you all and we would like to wish you a blessed new week in the Mighty and strength of the Lord God, We bless His name and all He is doing in our lives and the lives of the street boys we minister too every day.
With countless support from our dear friends and supporters ,prayer friends, our quality and dedications to serve these boys has never been comprised and the results for our commitment has been able to make this ministry an ever growing organization working with boys on streets to get off Kampala streets, by the use of simple activities such playing football games, showering and washing on the program, conducting praise and worship, sharing of our personal testimonies, Bible study, having lunch with the boys and listening to their needs, has strengthened our relationship with the boys and has effectively grown into major changes in their lives.
We are very grateful to God for transforming the boys we have in the shelter and those we have resettled back to their families. It is noted that many re-settlements usually fail and this makes many of the boys return to the streets of Kampala.
We proud to share with you about our current boys in the house who are have transformed and are all in school and we hope and pray that God continues to change them.
Special thanks to all of you who pray for us.
God bless you all.







OUR RECONCILIATION PROGRAM.
We are grateful that our reconciliation program is underway and it has kicked off on good grounds. So far those that have been driven back to their guardians; we have kalanda Steven who received a warm welcome from his Aunt. We first resettled Kalanda Steven in 2014 after finding his relatives in Entebbe, with various discussions with family; we managed to resettle Steven who among all the children we have resettled has stayed with his family for a full year.
However Steven again ran away from home again this past September and this required us as a team to re-do our meeting up, calling of his family, searching for him on streets and offering more counseling to Kalanda Steven. We are very glad and happy that we worked together with kalanda Steven’s doctors and counselor from one of the most recognized and respected HIV/AIDS hospital in Entebbe and they suggested ideas which are all for the best of Steven’s health and we are very happy that we are all going to assist Steven in the best we all can.
On the other hand we kindly request to remember Steven in your prayers as he starts on the new line of medication. We feel the need to celebrate this achievement because all the mixed feelings between the boy and his family (Relatives) were all discussed at the transitional house, It was all joy and happiness to receive them as members of the family and we are all the family is willing to work with us including his doctors and we continue to pray for Kalanda Steven.
.
As MAA (Mercy Alive Africa) continues to meet immediate needs of the vulnerable children, we are also doing our best to change the perceptions of the community and more especially to those where these children come from. Congratulations to our boys Kalanda Steven who accepted to reconcile with their family. We are very proud of the decision you made, thus this is a good example to the rest of the other boys.
