She is excited to join Kipindi and hopes God will show her the next steps for her future during this year. Shamim has just recently became a believer and loves studying the Bible, praying, and fasting. She was nicknamed “The Kipindi Pastor.”

Scholarship for Patience

Patience was a joyful and playful young girl who loved to sing and dance until one day when she fell sick. She suffered for years with a debilitating stomach problem until one day, after a week of prayer and fasting by her mother, she was healed. Patience still loves to sing and often leads worship. She loves making new friends and is looking forward to making many of them this year in Kipindi.

Scholarship for Lukia

Lukia has had many struggles in life. She has grown up living with her grandmother who isn’t able to completely support her and who mistreats her often. Lukia struggled in school also so she joined a tailoring program to get a skill to help provide for her and her family. She’s excited to join Kipindi where she can get counseling and inner healing from deep emotional hurts from her past.

Scholarship for Betty

Betty comes from a family that practices traditional idol worship. After suffering with a terrible disease for many years, Betty was healed and became a believer in Jesus. Because she stopped worshipping idols, her family abused and neglected her. Her prayer is that her entire family would come to know the saving grace of Jesus. Betty is excited to join Kipindi and grow in her faith this next year so she can be a light to her family.

Scholarship for Florence

From an early age, Florence was teased for her size and because she stuttered when speaking. This continued throughout her elementary years. God brought her a sponsor after that and she has greatly improved. When she learned about Kipindi Mpito, everyone she knew discouraged her from   joining but she felt God speaking to her that she needed to join. She’s most excited about the tailoring program.

Scholarship for Fatumah

Although Fatumah grew up with both her mother and father at home, her family struggled to get the basic necessities, much less send her to school. When Fatumah would ask for school fees, her father would become embarrassed and abusive. She thanks God that it wasn’t too long before she became sponsored by FCW. Fatumah is most excited about the tailoring portion of Kipindi Mpito.

Scholarship for Barbara

Barbara comes from FCW Uganda’s farthest village in the program. Dad and mom were both in her life, however, dad struggled and still struggles with severe stomach problems. Barbara is the second born of 7 siblings, so she recalls being lonely at school because her parents didn’t have money to come and visit all of their children on visitation days. Since she became sponsored, things have gotten much better for her and she is very excited to learn more about fashion and design at Kipindi Mpito.

Scholarship for Darphine

Darphine lived with her dad, stepmother and 10 siblings. Because her dad was very sick, he wasn’t able to take all of the siblings to school. Darphine would start a school term and be chased from class after a month or so because her family didn’t pay school fees. Because of this, she missed much of her first few years of school. Thank God she became sponsored through FCW and has been able to stay in school since. Darphine is most excited about EVERYTHING at Kipindi. She loves it all!
