Hope and Restoration in Jesus' Name
Sixty Feet’s Child Sponsorship Program is unique. We minister to, children and teens who find themselves inside a prison or remand home run by the Ugandan government. We present the gospel and work toward reuniting children with families.
The Situation
The juvenile justice system in Uganda is broken. There are children in the prison and remand homes who have broken no law. Some of the children are as young as two and three years of age having been swept off the street for begging, separated from their mothers, and brought into a facility. Sixty Feet works inside these facilities with the permission of the Ugandan government providing the love of Christ in both word and deed. We are driven by Jesus’ words in Matthew 25:
“Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?” And the king will answer them, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.”
What We Do
Sixty Feet and its trained Ugandan staff are a steady presence in these places providing food, medical care, biblical counseling, and educational sponsorships. With your gift toward our child sponsorship program, we will create educational opportunities for children within the walls of the prisons and when we reunite them with their families. Sixty Feet sponsors children from kindergarten to secondary school to vocational training. We even have children who excelled in the classroom, showed promise and are now enrolled in university studies. We have children that are deaf or disabled and need specialized care.
What You Can Do
Our sponsorship program starts at $38/month – although any and all size gifts are needed!
Because our child sponsorship program is unique and costs vary widely based on individual needs and family situations, we can’t connect one sponsor with one specific child. But when you provide a sponsorship we will update you monthly about the Child Sponsorship program and share specific stories from specific children in the program – great stories of hope and accomplishment!
