For more than 30 years Carol Adams has fed, housed, educated and cared for orphans and vulnerable children in Fort Portal in Western Uganda. Many of the children were weakened by the HIV virus but were supported for two decades by anti-viral drugs provided by USAID and its PEPFAR program.

But those programs have been frozen by President Trump, putting the lives of millions in East Africa and around the world in grave danger.

I recently spoke with Carol about her YesUganda.org program and the impact of the USAID freeze.

Moses Kyarisima is a former Community Health Officer at the Bwindi Community Hospital in SW Uganda. Nowadays he’s a medical entrepreneur, delivering mobile obstetric and other medical scans by motorcycle to pregnant women and others.

I was in Uganda recently and sat down with Moses to talk about how he identified and met a need to deliver medical care to women in the villages, far from the city. I also learned how this self-made man paid for his education, from primary school to university level.

Pastor John Ramey calls Mother Theresa one of his heroes. Ramey is president of Aslan Child Rescue Ministries and travels the world to support partners on the ground in difficult and far off places. Like the saintly Mother Theresa, Pastor Ramey finds joy in being alongside struggling mission workers, women and children bringing relief in the form of supplies or prayer support.

I recently had a conversation with John and we talked about the breakthrough work he and his partners have undertaken in Ethiopia.
