Street Boys
and Girls from Customs
In the last 12 months since our mission to Uganda in 2023 the boys have continued to grow and change. There are very positive steps towards a sustainable future for some of them. Perhaps the most important being that some of them are now accepted by the community.
Muhindo Clovis, Mugisha Robert and Cosmas Byaruhanga have been trained in motorcycle mechanics. They have each received a toolbox and overalls which will give them a sustainable future. They are doing well and continue to work in the garage
Goffred has completed training in shoe making
Martin says I no longer consider myself a street boy. I rent my own home.
Job says Martin is now a responsible man.
After AWU renewed Hamis' driving permit and with Hamis' persistence and tenacity he is now allowed to drive a taxi. He pays for his children's school fees

2 boys are working at The Link Bus Company washing buses
They have been accepted by the community.
For the next 2 months the team will be meeting the other 40 street boys in weekly fellowship. They expect great change in them.
Amaha We Uganda is now working with a group of young women from Customs who have found themselves homeless for a variety of different reasons. They were feeling hopeless having to find any way they could to feed themselves. They felt abandoned and hopeless and in some cases suicidal. The young women meet regularly in fellowship mentored by our wonderful Miriam. 5 of them have now been trained in hairdressing and tailoring. Through a generous donation we have been able to provide these 5 graduates with start up kits and 3 months rent to start a business and pursue a new life. They say they now have hope. In August 2024 a new group of 5 girls will be trained followed by more in 2025.
