Overview
Ivan and Melissa Mukulu are the directors of the Sonrise Children’s Home. Their most critical need is the continued construction of the new Sonrise Children’s Village Complex located on about 60 acres located outside Kamuli, Uganda.
:: Read Ivan & Melissa's Vision
When completed the planned facility will house and train approximately 200 rescued Sonrise children. It will include residential group homes, director/intern homes, an administrative building, latrines, a cafeteria, a meeting hall, a school, a library/computer lab, a vocational training facility, teacher housing, vehicles, and more. The new primary school ins currently providing badly needed ducation for hundreds of village children.
By coming alongside the villagers to encourage through farming, education, and meeting physical needs, Melissa and Ivan strive to show Christ’s love while restoring their spirits to a sense of hope and future. They are estimating for their primary school training to include up to 2,000 children and a secondary school training to include another 2,000 children.
Construction Status
The first school building, measuring 250 x 27 feet with 8 classrooms was completed in 2018. There will eventually be several school buildings for the primary school.
Three of the children's living cottages were completed and were occupied in 2018. Cultivated fields include rice, corn, sweet potatoes, peppers, eggplant, mango trees, and jackfruit trees and so much more.
Ivan and Melissa's vision is coming to reality, but there is so much more needed. Please consider partnering in our continued effort.
