Katushabe Peace lives with her mother. Her father became ill when she was very young and died. Now her mother struggles to make money inside their refugee camp, Kageyo. Since getting food is extremely hard, Peace and her family do not eat often. Her mother tries very hard to keep Peace in school so that she can get an education and a way to make money. Peace is now in grade 6 and she worries about how she will get enough support to go to high school next year. After being educated, she hopes God will help her become a government minister so that she can help her community and provide for her family.

Nisima Cyabitama is four years old.*  The child was born in exile – in Tanzania in 1995.  She now lives with her family in a re-settlement camp in Rwanda called Kageyo.  Both parents are alive, but the family is very poor.  Neither of her parentts have a job and neither completed primary schooling.  They now struggle to provide for their large family: five girls and three boys ranging in age from 2 1/2 to 15 years old.  Because of the extreme poverty in Kageyo, Nisima and her siblings are hungry most of the time, often going to bed on an empty stomach. Nisima dreams of becoming a doctor and helping children who are in pain.  She wants to be able to provide for her entire family.  Nisima currently attends preschool in a neighboring school. There are hundreds of children like Nisima living in extreme poverty whos families struggle to afford school tuition.  Help break the cycle of poverty today!  To sponsor a child like Nisima who lives in Kageyo, please e-mail children@africanewlife.org. *Picture is of four-year-old Nisima, her father, David, and older sister, Annet.

A Sifa Update from Florence Mugisha

I am still in the U.S. and am taking care for Sifa, one of the sponsored children of ANLM, who just had her jaw surgery in Washington, D.C. after not opening her mouth for over 5 years.

Tomorrow marks one month away from the rest of my family (Charles and the two boys headed back home in February).  The truth is that I really miss my family but I do thank God I can help with Sifa.

God has been amazingly great to Sifa despite her difficult past.  She’s lost both of her parents and has been cared for by an elderly grandmother who really struggled to take care of her.

Last year Sifa had very very severe infection and could’ve died if God had not intervened by sending a mission team from USA, Immanuel Bible Church from DC.  Thank God for mission teams.

We praise God for successful surgery and continued healing for Sifa and for protecting her from losing her life during all the years she lived in pain.

Two days ago she had her dental appointment and the results were amazing, we all expected her to lose  all or most of her teeth.  But the doctor said was that she didn’t have any decay!

Sifa is now able to attend school and does speech therapy to help her completely heal.

Again I do not know what could have happened to Sifa if she wasn’t been able to be sponsored and be able to meet with  Doctor Susan and the team from IBC.

Thank God for child sponsorship!

Thank you all for your prayers and support to Sifa.

Please pray for Sifa’s total recovery,and pray for a safe journey home to Kigali, Rwanda on the April 10th.

We give God all the praise and we thank Him for using His peopleto take care of Sifa.

We all can’t wait to be home.

-Florence Mugisha
