It is official; we have our very own orphanage, operated by Ignatious Sseremba. Currently, we have 11 true orphans. We also have a group of local kids that come for food daily.
Greetings beloved,
written by Ignatius Sseremba, caretaker of Mashariki Children’s Home
At our care home, we have several kids who have different backgrounds. I’m pleased to inform you that each one of them falls under one of the following categories; some times when we say “Orphan,” we can also be meaning these;
1). Social risk orphan; a child was taken away from a family due to abuse or neglect.
2). Poverty orphan; A child who fails to access basic needs due to extreme poverty.
3). Abandoned Orphan; a child abandoned in a hospital, market, bus stop, or elsewhere.
4). Single orphan; a child who has lost one of their parents due to death.
5). True orphan or double orphan; A child who lost both parents due to death.
They’re all orphans in one way or another having similar features of Trauma, neglect, abandonment, and abuse. So in each category, a child may bear one of the emotions above.
I’m excited to inform you that our home is doing well; the kids are happy, learning about God, loved right, living right, going to good schools, eating good food, and staying in a good atmosphere.
I thank our dear donors at JFM for all the support. May the Lord bless you abundantly.
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.
