We have developed a supportive relationship with Pastor Michael Masembe in Mpigi, Ugands. Pastor Michael and his wife, Juliet, run a school and an orphanage; many of their students are orphans of AIDS victims. Through the support of PUMC, their school has grown from 205 children to nearly 400 children and they have 12 formally trained staff plus their head master. In 2011, we started a new program, Child Assist – Uganda, to support Pastor Michael’s children who cannot afford to go to their school. It is a privilege to provide support to such a wonderful and thankful community, led by a faithful servant of God.
Our Child Assist Campaign is in it’s 15th year – WOW – and it has had an amazing impact  on so many lives!  The pledge made by church members is $15 per month per child and provides support for their daily living needs, beds, blankets, food, mosquito nets, shoes, scholastic materials, etc.
