Message from LOTUS Humanitarian Board of Directors

Dear LOTUS Supporters,

Our little organization is growing, and we are so gratified to be able to help those in need make sustainable changes throughout the world!

In recent months, members of our Board of Directors, as well as LOTUS volunteers, visited numerous projects in Uganda and Tanzania. In this edition of Highlights & Updates, you can see photos from these trips and see where your donations go!

Your donations for this trip purchased (among other things):

• Food and Medical Supplies for the children at the Little Lambs OVC
• School Supplies and Uniforms for the children at Neighbors of Chimps Preparatory School on Koome Island
• Sleeping mats and school supplies for the school at Gracious Hope

Thank you for sharing our vision and contributing to our efforts to serve others. As a completely volunteer-run non-profit organization, the work we do would not be possible without your support.

Namaste!

Koome Island, Uganda

In May, LOTUS Humanitarian was in Africa, spending time with several of our ongoing partners. First, we visited Uganda, where we spent time on Koome Island. We love to support projects that empower long-lasting change, and the people of this little island are doing wonderful things! They grow all their own food, they raise bees to sell honey, and they are creating their own school to educate the children on their island as well as neighboring communities.

In the last couple of years, LOTUS donors have helped this impressive self-sustaining community in a number of ways. By supporting the construction of a functioning restroom for school children, purchasing school uniforms, and paying for the fees needed to start the school, LOTUS is helping to bring about long-term change for an amazing and very deserving group of people!

Many thanks to our sponsor, Citisoft, for their generous donation to Koome Island!

Little Lambs OVC, Uganda

Additionally, LOTUS visited the Little Lambs Center for Orphans and Vulnerable Children. In years past, LOTUS raised enough money to build a large dormitory to house the children who don't have their own homes to go to.

Through our in-person visit, we were able to identify key areas of need and determine progress and most pressing needs.

Gracious Hope Center, Tanzania

Finally, we visited the Gracious Hope Center in Tanzania. This wonderful project, founded by Grace Ngonyani, empowers the women of the community in several important ways.

First, with the creation of a childcare center/ school for women to have a place for their children to go where they are well taken care of.

Second, by teaching them valuable skills such as cooking and sewing so that they are able to participate in a community kitchen and create their own small businesses. Grace is extraordinary, and we love supporting her in her efforts!

On this visit, LOTUS was able to evaluate the progress of the school and purchase needed supplies. We also met with local widows who are benefiting from the community kitchen and sewing projects which LOTUS has helped to fund.
