Olturot

Term 3, 2022

Hello, greetings in Jesus’ name from Olturot Center. We have come to the end of another wonderful school term and we want to share some of the highlights. Thank you for your support and partnership as we work together to transform lives through Christ.

Total Enrolled: 370 students
Total Unsponsored: 58 students

Rose* is a 9-year-old girl in grade three at our Olturot Center. She is the 7th born of a family of 9, with four brothers and four sisters who all live with their single mother. Rose’s father was killed some years ago and her mother was left to fend for her family on her own. Rose’s mother sells a local brew called Bussa to try and provide for her family.  However, with the little that she gets from the alcohol business, it is not enough to make ends meet. They live in a two-room hut, due to the family’s low income, and they only afford one meal a day.

Before Rose joined Missions of Hope she was desperate and she was about to lose hope in life. Rose was very close with her father so his passing downed her spirits. Her family Social Worker walked with Rose, encouraging her and giving her the kind of spiritual support she needed. Today Rose has a reason to smile and a future to look forward to. She has become very determined in her studies and is a very bright and hard-working girl. She received Jesus Christ as her personal savior and is now able to lead others during devotion. We thank God for the transformation.
