Smile Africa is a day center and medical assistance center located in Tororo, Uganda. The ministry outreach was established and is currently operated by Ugandan Pastor, Ruth Kahawa.
The day center hosts over 360 of Uganda’s poorest children from the Karomojong tribe. Smile provides daily meals, medical assistance, and early education. The center is operated with a staff of 33 workers. Smile offers assistance and training to ladies and widows. Through extended training programs, they teach women how to generate income through crafts, sewing, and vegetable growing. The 68 children who once lived full-time have all been resettled back into the communities. Social workers do home visits and ensure that the foster/adoptive parents have fully embraced this children as their own. Through the local council leaders, Smile was able to identify close relatives of the children. Their ages were between 1 and 18. The total children in Smile’s program averages 420 per day. Tororo is in the eastern region of Uganda and has a population of 42,000. Smile Africa is situated outside of town on an 5 acre plot. The facility includes a small but very productive kitchen, a metal pavilion with concrete floors for early education, open air showers, a medical building, a training facility and two structures for orphanages, which have since been turned into hair dressing salon and computer lab. Recent Updates: At Mount Up Ministries in the village of Kwapa the church building was bound to collapse and cause harm to the Christians there. Thanks to the generous of Help the Least of These and partners around the world we have now completed the renovation work. In a very special way I want to thank God for each and every one who has given. Many in this village are Glorifying the name of the Lord as a result of this miracle. This timely response from Help the Least of These, restored Hope and Joy to the Glory of God Almighty. Another testimony is that of Abundant Life Church. They never had any land beyond the church building. When Help the Least of These introduced us to them, they sent funds and they were able to buy land a church latrine as well as an access road. Once introduced to Royal Palace, HTLOT has since helped drill a borehole, provide school uniforms, etc. It is amazing what happens when we all serve and uplift one another in Ministry. Help The Least Of These has helped greatly in the construction of our bishops house. It is such a great testimony because our bishop John has been a blessing to many in his service to the Lord and to be able to build a beautiful shelter for him as requested by God is Joy to all of us. Help The Least Of These has continued to be a great encouragement and strength to us as we serve in the Kingdom of God. We praise God for all those who remember to pray, encourage and support them. All of you are touching and changing lives as you are the Hands and Feet of Jesus. We continue to trust God for the provision of $9000 to help buy land for Awesome Celebration Church. Our God is never late. Celebrating in advance, knowing that Victory Belongs To Jesus. Love and Blessings to all of you. I have known JD and his dear wife Kim, the founders of Help the Least of These for over 10 years. They have been a big blessing to Smile Africa Ministries as well as many other Ministries here in Uganda. They have helped provide safe clean water by drilling boreholes, build churches, schools, sponsor children, buy land and provide medical services. Needs & Opportunities
