In Uganda, around 1 in 10 schoolchildren did not report back to school in January 2022 after schools were closed for two years. Last November, Save the Children revealed that up to one in five children in fragile countries, including Uganda, had dropped out of school because of rising poverty, child marriage, and child labor. Another reason for student dropouts is that some parents are not interested in education for their children.
JesusFedMe is dedicated to restoring peace and hopes to those desperate and yearning for it. Today three students lost hope of completing their semester and were worried about losing their course due to fees. As usual, JFM came in the right time of need and showed the love of Jesus to these souls. They couldn’t believe their eyes since they were on the end wall. As always, when they ask us where the help is coming from, we say it’s from Jesus! In that way, someone will remain thinking about the name of Jesus for the rest of their life! We want to appreciate your kindness through Jesus, who strengthens you to help others.
About Author
William J. Wegener (Bill) is the founder and director of JesusFedMe.com, a ministry with a simple yet powerful mission: to feed the hungry, share the gospel of JESUS CHRIST, and transform lives in Uganda. Bill believes that meeting both physical and spiritual needs is the best way to reflect the love of GOD, and through JFM, countless lives have been touched.
Under his leadership, JesusFedMe.com has:
Delivered food daily to poor families and orphans. | Dug wells to provide clean water to villages. | Built homes and resource centers for struggling communities. |. Established the Miracle Medical Center (MMC) in Nakaseke District, providing medical care where none was available. |. Launched the CVTI Skilling Center, offering vocational training and hope for the future.
Bill’s heart for the poor flows from the words of JESUS in Matthew 25:35: “For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in.” He often says that every bag of rice delivered, every child clothed, and every prayer offered is a reminder that GOD’s love is real and practical.
None of this would be possible without faithful donors who give generously. Bill sees himself not just as a director, but as a steward—ensuring that every dollar makes a difference in feeding the hungry and leading souls to CHRIST. His vision is to see communities in Uganda transformed, both physically and spiritually, through the power of the gospel and the kindness of those who support the work.
