Cycle of Poverty: “a
set of factors or events by which poverty, once started, is likely to continue
unless there is outside intervention” (Hutchinson Encyclopedia)
This is exactly what we have seen and experienced in the
Namuwongo slum of Kampala where Doors Primary School is located. Parents (and
generations before) have fallen into poverty, a poverty so severe that
education and proper nutrition has not been attainable. This is the future that
awaits these parents’ children as the parents are unable to find consistent
jobs to fully provide for themselves and families due to their own lack of
education and poor health. Their children can remain uneducated and
malnourished, unable to break this powerful cycle of poverty before them…unless
an outside intervention comes in to help.
Doors Primary School
works hard to break this cycle by empowering families with the Gospel of
Christ. The school walks out the Jesus’ command to “make disciples” every
day, and truly “loves their neighbor” by first “loving God.” Parents are able
to send their children to Doors Primary School to receive a quality education,
receive free basic medical care, and grow in their knowledge and understanding
of God. This is only made possible as children at the school are connected with
a monthly financial partner such as yourself. Your monthly gift of just
$37/month per student goes directly towards paying school facility rent,
teacher and staff salaries, curriculum costs, lunch every day, breakfast 2
times a week, school registration, and more. This allows parents to send
their children to receive an education that they otherwise could not afford.
Doors Primary School fights
every day to lay the foundation in Christ to break the cycle of poverty in
Namuwongo.
Consider partnering with a student of Doors Primary at
$37/month, allowing the school to remain open and positively impacting students
and families for the glory of God. Contact us for more information.
