Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe --- #Giving Tuesday --- Donate at: www.ProsForAfrica.com



Tuesday – December 2nd is ‘GIVING TUESDAY’ FOR NON-PROFITS


 #GIVINGTUESDAY - December 2, 2014

****WHAT WILL YOU GIVE?****

For 25+ years, Joseph Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) committed heinous atrocities against the children in Uganda. These children were kidnapped, tortured, mutilated, abused, raped and made sex slaves. They were also trained to become soldiers and even had to kill their own family members, as well as others. 

Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe openly defied the warlord Joseph Kony and the LRA in their reign of terror to save these children. 

Sister Rosemary started St. Monica Girls Tailoring Centre in Gulu, Uganda to help these young girls and their children. There are three schools in Africa that are supported by Sister Rosemary; one in Gulu, Uganda; one in Atiak, Uganda and a third school is in the process of being built in Torit, South Sudan. 

‘HELP’ Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe help these young women and their children.  The need is great there!  

$500 takes care of one young mom with one child for an entire year in Uganda.

$500 provides food, shelter, medicine, clothing, transportation and more for each of these families for one year.
