News and Events

There is a lot to do at our training center in Togo right now, as project manager Gbati Nikabou reports. Unfortunately, the start of our new training programme has been delayed a bit due to bureaucratic hurdles. But the waiting time is well used.

In April, we reported here about the children in Uganda who had been abandoned by their parents. This case presented our team with major challenges, but things turned out well for the family. Many thanks to everyone who supported us in this emergency situation!

has forgotten that children mean hope." This quote by the French writer Balzac makes a lot of sense when looking at the work in our Ugandan children's village. Time and again, seemingly hopeless cases are brought to us, but with medical help and care, they always make amazing progress. Our social worker recently sent us a report on current events.

What children need the most is love and secureness but they also need a home and enough to eat. In the SALEM children‘s village in Uganda children arrive without anything of this.  Our team tries its best to reduce the suffering for the people. Recently our social worker Racheal told us about a story that shocked us deeply and also exceeds the capacties of SALEM-Uganda.

This is Jonathan, three years old and just one of presently 31 children, youths and handicapped young adults living in the Childrens' Home of SALEM-Uganda. His mother's whereabouts are not known by her relatives, his father’s name is unknown. Jonathan was malnourished during the time of admission but is now a healthy boy, social and jolly.
