We are Proud to Announce the Opening of Miracle Kids Primary School in Kampala!



To celebrate receiving 501c3 tax exempt status, Aid the Nations decided to start off the year 2010 with a wonderful, new endeavor. In the beginning of March, Aid the Nations opened up the Miracle Kids Nursery and Primary School in Kampala, Uganda!

This is a huge achievement because it gives orphans, who are living in local churches, a chance to get an education!

At Aid the Nations, we believe that children are the future. The children of Uganda are a generation with an intense yearning for education and cultural awareness. Ugandan children grew up in the midst of a 23-year civil war which uprooted their families and, after its completion, has left them with inadequate shelter, broken homes and limited resources. Many of these children were formerly kidnapped by rebel groups and forced to be child soldiers. They now live in Internally Displaced Persons Camps (IDP Camps) or in nearby churches.

Currently, Aid the Nations was able to provide materials enough for 83 orphans. Many more children are waiting to attend the school, but we are in dire need of school supplies, food and milk to sustain the children, and wages to hire more teachers and caretakers.

From the bottom of our hearts, we welcome all of your support, no matter how large or small the amount may be! We know that you can truly make a difference!
