Supporting the Orphans


One after another, widowed mothers, grandmothers, and other caretakers of CGA orphans streamed through the gate this morning to receive their holiday food distribution. Because the school is closed for the next 5 weeks between terms, each family caring for our orphans is given a ration of maize and beans to ensure that the orphans have food to eat while they are not getting their normal breakfast and lunch at school. There were many smiles all around as they collected the distribution in sacks carried from home. They are all responsible for transporting it back to their homes which some did by carrying it on top of their head while others hired motorcycles to transport it. CGA has been blessed by its supporters and sponsors so that the school has provided this service every school holiday for close to ten years now! Thank you for your faithful support of this ministry!
