Student sponsorships
As mentioned on our About Us page, the Project currently only offers primary level education. It is both one-time and ongoing sponsorships that enable our graduates to continue their education at nearby secondary schools and colleges. In Uganda, the good, reliable, and (in the most literal sense) life-changing jobs are only available to people who have completed a college education. Without it, a person is almost guaranteed a life of continued poverty with little to no hope of escaping. Additionally, uneducated people in Uganda carry a lot of shame as they are usually deemed worthless by society. It is almost unheard of for a person in the poor village of Kafunjo to graduate college, and we are determined to change that.
(Please read the following paragraph at your discretion as many difficult topics are discussed.)
Sadly, every single student at the Project has the very valid fear they may not get the opportunity to complete their education. They have all experienced the suffering and desperation caused by poverty, which has left them with significant trauma that they will likely struggle with for many years to come. Many of our girls have expressed fears that, without a college degree, they may be forced to turn to prostitution in the future. Others fear that such desperation could transform them into individuals they disdain. Specifically, they express deep concern about becoming thieves, drunkards, drug addicts, murderers, and more. We want to strongly emphasize that none of our students intend or desire to become any of these. They are simply reflecting on what they have witnessed among the uneducated in their community. Another tragic reality is that many individuals trapped in poverty resort to suicide due to grief, suffering, stress, shame, and hopelessness. Regrettably, some of our students have expressed fear that they too might face this outcome if they are unable to complete their college education. Given all these factors, fueled by the deep love we have for each student, our passion and mission is to support each one fully until they successfully reach their goals.
There are currently 20 unsponsored secondary school students and 4 college students who are still looking for their people. Please let us know if you’d like to be one of them.
How do sponsorships work?
A one-time donation of $160 can send a secondary student back to school for one term. With three terms per year, we welcome donations for student sponsorships year-round. We are also seeking ongoing sponsors willing to provide consistent support for secondary students, which equates to three payments of $160 each year (typically in January, May, and September). Alternatively, sponsors can support a secondary student with an annual donation of $480.
This same opportunity extends to college students, however, each semester costs approximately $350, there are two semesters per year, and annual support would cost $700.
If you have any questions regarding student sponsorships, please contact Ashley at: ashley@kafunjoprojectus.org.
We’re so happy to introduce our amazing students to you below! They are kind, hard-working, inspiring, and exceptionally deserving of any and all help.

Caroline
“I used to collect and gather maize grains that were dropped on roads by the work trucks with an aim of acquiring a little money for my needs. I could feel so anxious, timid, and hurt toward my parents who never planned for the family to have limited children that they could afford on providing needs. I didn’t live with them happily. I think I will become an important person in the future and I will be a surprise that brings comfort to everyone in the Project. I hope to find a sponsor because I’m very industrious and I can run to a set goal through paying a great focus for my success. On that I can say, lots of love to all our donors. Your loving daughter, Caroline”

“The hard times that I faced were diseases, poor balanced diet, poor education, and poor medical services. Some diseases were malaria, cholera, and typhoid. I felt sick during these tough times. I was not happy. If challenges affect me now or if I feel sick, I stay strong by telling Bruno I need to be treated. I love Bruno. He cares for me. I beg you for your help because I will make sure that after my studying, I will become a doctor for treating the brain. Thank you. Yours faithfully, Asaph”

Rabecca
(Prior to joining the orphanage, Rabecca’s step father made persistent attempts to harm her. She never felt secure at home, and this experience left a profound emotional scar that continues to affect her to this day.)
“There was some misunderstanding between our family which affected my future and studying. We lived together in an unhappy way and I didn’t trust them because they would torture me worstly. I felt guilty and there wasn’t anything that helped me feel better because I couldn’t be studying in order to become an important person in future and my plan for my future had to break up. I felt hurt in my heart. Love, Rabecca”

“I lived with my family, but they were alcoholics and took drug abuse which was sad to me and I didn’t want to follow their steps in doing such things. I had to struggle hard while working in other people’s gardens to get money for school fees, clothes, and shelter. I thought that my future had no hope and that I had no chance for a better life. Can you please share this information with others to find a sponsor for me who can at least care about and love me? Thank you, Steven”

I thought I’d end up getting early pregnancies and start neglecting myself (and isolating) from friends. I reached to an extent of crying every day. I would like to be an engineer because I want to develop my country in order to live a better life and to help other stranded children. Thank you very much. Your friend, Sylvia”

Clare
“Some time back when I was at a tender age, my parents got misunderstandings and they divorced. Then, each parent decided to live alone, and neither parent thought back to see the children he/she left behind. My dad decided to leave home. My mum sold the land and decided to migrate to another countryside for the safe settlement. All in all, there were no school fees contributed from either parent, which led to us dropping out of school. Your loving friend, Clare”

My dad is a man with two wives and four children, but he has no job for getting our school fees. My mom is a woman with no job and with no money. I had other siblings who got helped and were rich, but they didn’t have time for us. They didn’t like me and they didn’t want me to be rich. Yours in love, Sarah”

“Before I came in this Project, I was not having school fees and we were not having enough food in our family. My mother got sick in 2022 and my father started spending all his money to help my mother get healed, so he had no money to take us to school. Everyone became lonely and we all suffered alone. When I joined the Project, I stayed strong because I found my fellow girls and they guided me about my disappointments. Thank you very much. Your friend, Susan”

“My parents are still alive, but they divorced because of some bad situations, and I was so disappointed because my parents divorced. The hard times I faced were working for the whole day long, struggling to get something to eat and money for better survival. For example, working in our neighbors gardens and fetching water to sell so that we can get money to improve the standards of living for our family. During these times, I would be afraid and sad almost all the times because the situation wasn’t simple for me to succeed. Yours lovely, Daphine”

Andrew
“Me and my family were not able to cater services for ourselves, so my father traveled to Buganda to earn money for school fees, but unfortunately, when he reached there, he died. He left us in tears and poverty. We had even gotten a loan from the bank and we had no money to pay it back. We hoped that our father would be able to earn it. My mother told me and my siblings to give up on our hope of gaining education because we were working hard just for food and shelter. I would like to request our dearest donors to continue with that heart because we are ready to focus on our goal with an aim of achieving a bright future. Thank you. Yours faithfully, Andrew”

“I was not happy at all and was so disappointed because I used to eat a poor balanced diet. I faced a problem of diseases due to poverty with my parents where I lacked some treatment which led to high spread of diseases. There wasn’t anything that helped me feel better because my situation made me to have too much pains, anxiety, and self neglect. Some people near our home were witch doctors and rich, but they had no mercy for us. Thank you. Your beloved child, Daphine”

If my parents had the chance of gaining an education, it would have helped my family to earn a living and help us to survive in every situation. During these tough times, I felt so sad.

Francis
“For health, we were many, so I could not get money for treatment. Instead, we had to use herbal medicines. We were not able to get clean clothes. Instead, we had to go to rubbish piles for clothes and we put them on. For the case of shelter, we built simple huts for shelter. I felt hungry, lonely, and we could spend all day long without food. Me and my siblings struggled hard, picking up empty plastic bottles in the town so that we could sell them to get some money so our life was of worth. So we did not enjoy life in the good way. Instead we enjoyed it by starving because of hunger. Yours faithfully, Francis”

Devunari
“I have my father, but I lost my mother. When I lived with my family, I would only get to go to school and attend class twice a week because we were poor. I used to have no clothes to wear but I remained praying so that God could answer my prayers and that I would be able to attend school again at once. Some people hated me and I did not trust them. They had permanent houses and we had a hut (it is common in Uganda for people with more money to not show love or respect to others who have less). Dear donors of the Project, I am very happy for the work you are doing to help and may God bless you and give you children and many years. Thank you so much. Devunari”

“One of my relatives picked me up from my home to provide me education and help, instead of proceeding with that, he began torturing me heavily. I used to neglect myself while sleeping without anything to eat. I was almost to die due to lacking medical care. I was ashamed because I was not having clothes to wear and I could not be seen around the village without wearing clothes. Your friend, Elisa”

Yabeth
“The hard times I faced before joining the Project were: not eating, and lack of medical service and shelter. I felt so angry during those times.

Nature
“Firstly, I don’t know who my mom is. Secondly, my dad went mad. My aunt told me that my parents fought a lot every day because my dad used to take too much alcohol without looking for food for our family to eat. My aunt also told me that I was six months old, my mom went mad, threw me along the road, and ran away. So I am very sad, I don’t even know what my mom looks like. I even don’t know the love of my parents. I stayed with my aunt and she was very kind to me because I had no friends. That’s why she used to make me laugh even though the situation was not good. Like, we didn’t have enough food to eat and we were not having clothes to wear, but she was very kind to me. Your friend, Nature”

“The hard times I faced before joining the Project at our home were there was not enough food, there was no clothes for wearing, there was no school fees for us, and there was not enough health service. During those tough times, I felt sad all the times because the situations was not simple for me. Now I’m believing in myself and feeling happier, because I know I will not suffer again with the help of the Project. I love the cooperation of the people here and their great caring of the Project. I am likely to become a doctor because that is what may be perfect for me. May the Lord reward you. Yours lovely, Living Stone”

Jawadu
“I hope everything for you, our donors, is fantastic and wow. I am really appreciating for your care and help you provide to us at the Project. Before joining the Project, I had all my parents, but my father was addicted to alcohol, very very drunk and he was not friendly. There was not much joy because of the torture my father was showing us. During those times, I didn’t feel well and I started disliking myself, but the Project has helped me on those issues. I really believe I deserve a sponsor in order to fulfill my dreams and help other children and people of The Kafunjo Community Project. I hope one may get a heart to sponsor me, because I know we are lacking sponsors. Yours in love, Jawadu.”

Lucky
“My mother lost her life. She died when I was in primary 6, and we lacked money for school fees. Before my mother died, my father was not loving her and was always looking for other women. My father was not spending time with us as he was going to town to look for other women and to drink alcohol. During those tough times, I was feeling so sad. The only thing that helped me feel better was prayers. In the future, I would like to become an agriculturalist and a mechanic. Your friend, Lucky”

Christopher (SPONSORED)
“I can’t tell you all of my lifetime because I would even end up shedding tears. I would ask myself why my parents produced me. I could cry day and night asking myself why, why? I reached the extent of requesting for the Lord to come and take me because I was suffering. Oh my God I am so happy, even more than happy, because my heart beats changed after joining the Project. I am so grateful and sooo happy to find that people from different areas love me so so much and I’m thankful. I am even thankful that me, Christopher, I can give a piece of advice to someone and they listen to me. That’s great. I love being trustworthy. Yours sincerely, Christopher”

“Before joining the Project, I lacked education, health care, clothes to put on, and sometimes I used to sleep without having food due to the suffering among our parents and having a big family. I felt sad in these times. I neglected myself, I felt lonely, I even thought of killing myself. I would like to be a tourist guide in future so as to meet different people with great honor. I would love a sponsor because I want to be one of the great people and successful ones, also to help my other children who face the challenges that I faced before joining the Project. I will be great with your support because I am strong, wise, and faithful in whatever I do. Thank you very much. Your lovely, Joan”

Now, life is going on, I’m happy, and I’m loved by everyone around me compared to the times before. I would like to be a lawyer in order to keep peace in our country and remove corruption. I would love a sponsor because I want to be confident, content, and have wisdom in helping our country in the future. I promise you, if you help me, I will concentrate as much as possible so that I can become a very big person in the future and I will help others. Your friend, Nicolaus”

Devotha (SPONSORED)
“At our home, there were internal conflicts which led to the death of my grandparents, cousin, sisters, brothers, uncle and aunt, and also led us to migrate from DRC to Uganda. In Uganda, we were struggling hard for food. There was no clothes for us to wear, not enough health service, and no money for school fees for us. I reached to an extent of studying at home without going to school because we have nothing at home. I felt sad all the time. I felt somehow better when United Nations High Commission for Refugees received us in the camp and gave us somewhere to live. I am likely to become a lawyer because that is what may be perfect for me. Yours lovely, Devotha”

Viola (SPONSORED)
Viola has a very sad past. She was neglected by her mom at just 10 years old. When Bruno first found her in the village, she was working for a family as a babysitter. This job did not pay, however, and Viola was only working in exchange for food. Unfortunately, Viola’s unkind employers barely fed her and she went hungry all the time. She only had two articles of clothing and was generally very, very sad. Viola is so happy to have joined the Project now where she is cared for and surrounded by people who love her.
“I lived with both parents but my daddy was a bit harsh, therefore, he could not get enough time to interact with me. My mother was sometimes kind, but my time with her was little because she would be working. I now only have one parent that is my mum. Unfortunately, my daddy died. The faced hard things and I would feel sad during those tough times. However, we would pray and befriend our fellow people in the community to comfort us and at least give us something to eat and some money in order to survive. Your loving friend, Viola”

Shirah (SPONSORED)
“I was a street child at Ishongororo with a lonely mother. We would sell cooked food via the road at night and it was so hard for my mother to get all our needs in the family. All day long, I felt so displaced and helpless in a way that nothing could make me smile. Times came where we failed to get food to eat and we spent the whole nights hungry, so it was difficult for us to relax in our minds. Since I joined the Project, I am now cared after like a princess in the palace. I conclude that our dear donors and sponsors, you are really loved and needed for our well being and I pray to the Almighty God to grant you all your desires because you’re changing us from Grass to Grace. Yours faithfully, Shirah”

Leanet (SPONSORED)
“I was having both my parents, but now I have only my mother, because my father has died. I felt like an orphan in my family during those tough times after I lost my dad. In those times, I lost security so I felt tears in my eyes, but I joined the Project and they helped me so much and I was free. I do feel so good with much pressure inside my heart to not let the director Bruno, sponsors, and to not let donors feel ashamed of me. I want to help better other’s lives in the future just as the Project has done for me. I would like to have a job of being an entrepreneur with a business and studying to become a government bureaucrat in state and in public. Yours faithfully, Leanet”

Everybody was helping his/herself, so nobody really cared about each other. My family was not kind, and I didn’t trust them. I was not studying and I used to cry all the time because I thought that I had to completely stop my studies. I overcame big challenges, like I was sick, suffering from headaches. In the future, I would like to be a lawyer after my studies because it creates employment opportunities. Your friend, Joanitah”

Janet (SPONSORED)
“My siblings are many and my family is made up of 16 members. We were not having food to eat or clothes to put on. I also lacked good education because of not having school fees and my parents would work day and night to gain food to eat and school fees. We faced the challenge of migrating from one place to another because of poor security to our family. I faced a lot of challenges that led me to be lonely and sad. In the future, I would like to have a job of being a nurse because the nurses are my role models and I would like to look after sick people. I want to be someone who could look after the needy and look after young generations. Yours faithfully, Janet”

What was difficult for me is that I had no school fees, and I used to fall sick and it was difficult for me to get medical care. And I used to struggle for my brothers since I was older than them and I would look for food for us. I used to go to dig (plant crops) from nearby for our friends in the village in exchange for food for survival. I would feel sad during those tough times. However, we used to pray and be friends with our fellow people in the Project and they would comfort us and at least give us something to eat and some money in order to survive.

“Since I was born, I have never seen my daddy because I think he was lost as to what to do since my mother was too weak to do anything important for us. Some of my family, they are rich, but they did not want to pay for our school fees. So I didn’t live with them much. I faced challenges of lacking basic needs for life, shortage of food, inadequate health care, and shelter. And during those tough times, I felt unhappy. I would like to be a midwife after my studies in order to solve unhealthy issues because we learned to become problem solvers at the Project. All in all, I want to help and care for pregnant mothers. I kindly tell you that when I get a sponsor, I will continue focusing on my studies and I will not let you down. Thank you. Yours sincerely, Moreen”

I didn’t enjoy spending time with them because of sadness and I was about to hang myself. My siblings were like my parents in that they were not united at all. So I thank our donors for your help, if not, I couldn’t be here in the Project. My life was totally down, but now I am an up right person. So, I kindly need help from our sponsors because I also want to be someone important. I think if I get a sponsor who supports me in all levels, in the future I wish to become a lawyer or a soldier.

Emmanuel (SPONSORED)
“I had spent almost four years sick whereby my bones of one leg and one arm were infected. I felt pain all the time. What was difficult for me indeed was paining full time and what was difficult to my family was that my parents lacked money to take me into the hospital for treatment. I was suffering from a bone disease which needed to operate in order for me to get healed. I could not enjoy life much like I do now, and I even started hating myself because of the situation I had. Since I was full time feeling pain, I felt like wanting to kill myself. But when I joined the Project, I was treated and got healed and by now I am happy and I love you, our sponsors, so much. I also promise you, our donors, that if you sponsor me and I get school fees, I will never never let you down. Yours faithfully, Emmanuel”

“Sincerely speaking, I had a lot of difficulties. For instance, I had no clothes to wear, food to eat, and medical care. We would get sick and there was not any quick recovery that was offered to us. I usually had fears because I knew I wouldn’t be able to survive this life on earth and people would laugh at us saying that our situation will not get better. Now, I am feeling very fantastic inside my heart because I am now enjoying the life of the Project and its sweetness. I’m smiling because before joining the Project, I had never seen white people, but now I know Ashley Shrader and many other people making me feel very perfect. And I believe in myself that I will always smile and love you, our donors, sooooo so much. Yours faithfully, Junior”

Deusdedit (SPONSORED)
“When I was five years old, my mum left me when her and my father got misunderstandings and they divorced. My father married another woman and they went very far from me and my siblings without any care. The job I would like to have in the future is Water Engineering with a Diploma in Water Engineering. I like that job because when I joined the Project in 2017, I found that water was scarce and we used to have to get water from far and it was tiresome. And one time we were with Bruno and he told us that ‘You see that water is scarce and a big challenge. You should study hard to become engineers.’ and I promised myself to become an engineer in order to solve such problems in and around the Project. Bruno is really teaching us much things, especially concerning agriculture. I now believe in myself because of big man Mr Bruno Biryomumaisho. Yours faithfully, Duesdedit”

We tried to live together happily, but sometimes I trusted them and they were not kind - especially when it came to my schooling.

“I lived with harsh relatives who tortured me. My mother left me when I was 8 years old. I don’t know where she is. It feels like I don’t even have a mother. My dad has like four wives resulting in many children, yet provides no care because of few money. I didn’t have a good relationship with my family because of lacking and missing the love for my mum and her care, thus making me lonely and even forcing me to consider killing myself so that I can rest from suffering. In the future, I wish to become a government cashier or a nurse. Let me hope that what I wish will be manageable, and I am really appreciative for the support of our donors because, without it, I would really have already killed myself because I can’t manage to stay in a torturing world.

“I was born to both parents like other children, but we couldn’t manage to stay together due to family violence. My parents are still alive but they were separated from each other and now everyone is staying alone in their own poverty. I was staying with my parents before they got divorced, but I was staying in misery with no help and having no clothes, food, and lacking school fees. I was not loved and lacked love from my parents. Lastly, I declare that everybody who is willing to sponsor with her/his heart, we appreciate your donation. Let you be touched by our story and give from your heart so that I can complete my education. Thank you. Yours sincerely, Rachel”

“My parents are still alive but they divorced many years ago. At first, life was just okay, but after their divorce, everything changed. We were not happy because they were not fulfilling their responsibilities. I was of good character, but everything was extra bad. We only did cultivation on a small scale. We did not enjoy spending time with each other because they weren’t good to me. Our family is now scattered. I do trust them, but what hurts me is that it is impossible to see some of them. May God bless you. Alan”

“My family and I lived together happily - trusting each other, being kind to one another, and getting along. We would all sit to hear stories from long ago, like the story of Kintu and Nambi. The difficulties for me and my family included; shortage of food, clothes, and a lack of education. The most difficult for me was education and food. During these tough times, I fell sick because there was nothing to help us and nothing to lead me to be happy. And there was no way for getting that money and food and I, a child, could not live without food and money. Yours faithfully, Ritah”

(Onesmus left home at just 16 years old because he was suffering and his family was abusive, and found a job of looking after cows for rich men in Uganda. He did not get paid for this job and his unkind employers only offered him one meal a day in exchange.)
“My parents are both alive but they got divorced due to misunderstandings among the family. We decided to stay with my divorced daddy for a few years, but he failed to pay my school fees. The money he would raise to pay for my school fees, he used to marry another wife which was not easy for me. I felt miserable and I was neglected by families and relatives. Unfortunately, I got in a disagreement with my daddy and he ended up chasing me away from home, which is why I decided to aim for The Kafunjo Community Project to be part of my family. I am requesting for everybody outside there who is touched by my story and has a good heart to help in supporting my education. Thank you very much to whoever sponsors me. Lots of Love, Onesmus”

“Ahh!! To tell you the truth, my story was very bad before joining the Project. The last time I saw my parents, I was 5 years old. I was told that my parents had no property on the earth. I was left under the control of my grandparents. They used to give me local medicines when I was sick because they could not manage to purchase hospital medicine. They fed me with the little food they had. We had no peace at home and were never happy. I didn’t trust them much because they even treated me harshly sometimes. All in all, I had no peace or a home. During these tough times, I did not feel good anymore and I was desperate for my life that I may die. Yours sincerely, Crescent”

Edwin
“I was born in a village called Mashuri in Ibanda district by my parents. My dad had died in 2015 and we lacked school fees, shelter, and food. I was left with my mother, my mother being a poor peasant, she did not have money to take me back to school. I sat in some tears looking for money such that I can complete primary 7. During those tough times, I felt so stressed and even hated myself knowing that I would never go back to school. As I was in the field looking for money, I met Bishop Bruno and I told him my problems and he decided to take me in the Project. Yours faithfully, Edwin”

“I have written this letter to share with you more about my story, of which I hope that you will consider affectionately. To begin, I was born in a family which I can say was not all that stable financially because my parents could not provide enough school fees for me. I suffered from diseases such as malaria several times because I could not feed on a good diet. I really suffered because, even during my high school times, I stopped schooling. I now really feel so much excited for being part of the Project. I love sharing the little I have together with my fellow children in the Project because I feel the heart of sharing continuously. I would like to thank you for every effort to render for my survival. Yours sincerely, Silas”
