How your gifts to Lott Carey make God’s love real in Uganda and Zambia

Lott Carey was there for you when a young man named Mukisa visited a mobile clinic in rural Uganda. Since birth, Mukisa’s health had been poor. For years, his growth had seemed stunted. Although he was sixteen, his height suggested someone younger.

Mukisa wondered if there was something wrong with him, wondered if there was any medicine that could help him.

Lott Carey’s partners in Uganda examined him. They soon found that Mukisa tested positive for HIV/AIDS. Others might have rejected him for that, but your partners in Uganda embraced him. They supplied him with anti-retroviral drugs at little or no cost, and they began patiently seeing to his larger medical needs.

With the compassionate care that you provided through Lott Carey’s dedicated partners, Mukisa is now thriving. He’s enrolled in a school, and the teachers there say that he’s an exceptionally bright and active student.

Because Lott Carey was there for you, Mukisa is able to stand with dignity around God’s throne. Cast aside no longer, he is able to join in a song with sweet accord.

  

In both Uganda and Zambia, Lott Carey’s partners are at work for you.

The AIDS Orphans Education Trust, actively involved in both countries, provides high-quality testing, counselling, and support. Low-cost drugs are made available for prevention and treatment of opportunistic infections. Education and support for behavior change, as well as home-based medical care, are offered to all who are in need. Mobile clinics move into rural areas, offering diagnosis and treatment of many common illnesses.

But it doesn’t end there. School fees and scholastic materials are provided to sponsored children at the primary, secondary, and university level. Vocational training and other income-generating projects are offered to those who have been widowed or orphaned by the AIDS pandemic so that someday it may truly be said that “ev’ry tear be dry.”

In addition, a creative “children’s village” has been established. This remarkable effort empowers families who would otherwise be too financially strapped to skillfully adopt one or more AIDS orphans. Thereby, families are able to offer the steady and enduring love that is due to every child of the heavenly king. It’s a way of embodying “the beautiful city of God.”

As you can imagine, all of this is infused with a deep appreciation for the life-transforming goodness of the Lord. Every Wednesday, close to two hundred people gather for Bible study in Lusaka, Zambia. And in Jinja, Uganda, near the headwaters of the Nile River, more than three hundred gather weekly to uncover what a songwriter has rightly called “a thousand sacred sweets.”


Through Lott Carey, you make God’s love real in Uganda and Zambia — and around the world.
