INTRODUCTION
Truth
Restoration Ministries started in 2008 and has been in operation for the last 2
years. It is a registered Community Development Organization operating in Jinja
District, Eastern Uganda with its head quarters in Jinja Town, Plot 21, Iganga
Road. This Organization was founded by Ms. Fiona Nairuba Violet with the help
of volunteers to reach out to street kids, orphans, vulnerable children, widows
and the elderly.
It
was set up to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ through the act of charity and
generous giving to the poor and unprivileged. (Deut 15:7).
STREET
KIDS:
There
are so many children on the streets due to different reasons such as domestic
violence, death of parents, harsh treatment to the children, and homelessness
due to poverty but the life on the streets is not the best for kids. On the
streets they learn different evils like pick pocketing, sniffing of drugs,
fighting etc. They are also faced with a problem of bad weather, diseases like
malaria, jiggers, they face being beaten, used by thieves, sexually abused,
hunger etc which endangers their lives.
We
have the challenge to inspire these children to get off the streets by coming up
with a rehabilitation programme. These children need to be mothered, given a
shoulder to cry on and new hope to live a reclaimed life.
ORPHANS
AND VULNERABLE CHILDREN
Almost
in all Africa, many children have been orphaned due to the deadly disease HIV/AIDS,
death of parents by accidents due to poor roads and other causes. But the
biggest percentage is attributed to the wide spread poverty within the
communities, often causing people to die pre mature deaths because of lack of
access to proper medical care and safe water.
When
parents die, they leave behind children with no one to take care of them, where
in most cases these children run to the streets. Others who are taken in the
care of guardians will be mistreated by them, will lack education and proper
care which affects the children.
Other
children come from poor families where the parents or guardians cannot afford
basic necessities like; proper housing, good feeding, medical care or education
due to the burden of poverty.
Truth
Restoration Ministry assumes the task to reach out with a helping hand to such
children by reaching out to them, showing them love spiritually, morally and
physically.
WIDOWS
AND SINGLE MOTHERS
There
are so many widows all around, some are HIV/AIDS positive, and they have been
left with the responsibility to take care of the children but with no job or properties
left by the husband after death are deprived of the widows by relatives. This
makes them susceptible to suffering. This is more common in the rural
communities.
Single
mothering on the hand is common among the community that is the reason why this
ministry has come out to reach to such people with a helping hand.
These
widows and single mothers have children but no school fees, medication and
proper shelter.
Truth
restoration ministry needs to work hand in hand with you to raise the standards
of these poor mothers by providing opportunities for them to earn an income or
assistance in education their children.

to the elderly people in the community inform of gifts, proper housing, and
medical care.
