Today we bring you the family of Ms Oppolot who lives just a few meters from God’s Village a Vangrace Compassion Ministries’ Orphanage in Bunjjako Island, Mpigi district Uganda.
This poor woman and her family came to Uganda as refugees from Democratic Republic of Congo in Central Sub-Saharan Africa after rebels massacred many people including all her relatives. For her she fled with her children and sought refuge in Nakivale Refugee camp in Insingiro district - western Uganda. Due to famine, poor condition, and hardships she faced as a woman, she shifted with her children to Bunjjako Island in Mpigi district Central Uganda.
Here she started struggling to earn a living with her 6 children. This woman suffered a lot of hardship in feeding her children, clothing, educating and medicating them.
But thanks to Vangrace Compassion Ministries which came out to support this woman and her children. The children have been able to get access to medication, and education. For the woman, she has been able to access counselling and guidance, she also attends refugee meeting h
Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.
