‭Job 8:7 NIV‬
"Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous will your future be".

Another family from Gatura received its goat for change.
We thank God for his provision and faithfulness that he has been showing in different ways for our ongoing Goat for change, One Goat , One family Project.

We're also very excited to let you know that this family marks 8th family out of the targeted 50 families.
Every long journey starts with one step and we believe that no matter the speed , as long as we keep moving we will surely reach our target.

We're very grateful to each and everyone who has helped us to reach this step by donating or praying, you're not just supporting a family but you're bringing Hope, transformation and self-reliance in the families.

Will you join us today in :

-Praying for all the recipient families so that the goats they received may be a source of blessings and provision for them.

-Praying for God's provision of the remaining 42 goats

-Supporting one or two,why not more families to get their goats too? Be the feet and hands of Jesus to the poor and underprivileged families in Gatura.

Each Year June 16th , the World celebrates the International Day of the African child.
Due to poverty in families, many African children face a lot of threats to their physical,psychological and emotional growth or development.
Many children : are forced to take a long journey carrying heavy jerrycans in order to get access to clean water (and sometimes not ) , are barefoot, don't have enough food in their families, are malnourished, don't have access to education , are shelterless and the list goes on.

This is an appeal to anyone who can help children across the African continent(Burundi included) to reach their dreams and grow in good conditions. They need food,shelter,clean water, medical care access, strong and empowered families, etc...

Your support and love can transform and restore children' lives somewhere in Africa.

Since 2023 our All at School Program has been operating in Gatura Village. Each year Children from underprivileged and poor families benefit school supplies through the above mentioned Program.
Grab your seat and watch this short video from Leon, the leader of our church partner in Gatura as he expresses his gratitude towards UYD and our donors.
Your donation and support are releasing heavy burdens from families who struggle to provide school supplies for their children. Thank you so much for being the hands and feet of Jesus to Gatura families.

School will close soon and parents will start thinking about the possible ways to send their children back to school early September. It always has been a very challenging situation and in the same spirit we look forward to supporting different children as we have been doing.

Please pray for students as they get ready for the exams period of the final Term, Pray for provision as we look forward to supporting as many children as possible.

And if you feel ready to partner with us via this scholarship program or any other among our programs, Please kindly get in touch with us for more information about how you can be supportive.

Aline is one of our Rural Women Empowerment Program beneficiaries who received rabbits from UYD. During our visit on the fields , she explained how 3 rabbits she received had an impact on her life and family.

Watch this video and learn about the impact made by 3 rabbits. School fees for her children, savings group, clothes and family food.

You can see how small efforts can bring lasting change and transformation in families.

In the past years UYD has been distributing shoes to children and some adults from Gatura Village.

For many of us, having 4 or 5 pairs(or more) of good shoes is something normal but in Gatura having one pair of slippers is a great miracle. For Families that struggle to put food on the table once a day ,shoes are nothing to say.
Many children and adults are barefoot not just because they want to but because they can't afford them.

Imagine a child going to school under heavy sunshine ,through bushes and thorns without shoes.

We're keen to support them but finances don't allow us and we're calling for each of you who is led by the Holy Spirit to bless these wonderful children and adults with shoes not to be smart but to cover their feet. If you want to know more about this or support, we will be glad to get in touch with you here or via email: [email protected]

At UYD, we believe that true transformation happens when people are empowered, not merely assisted. While emergency help is important, our goal is to help families move beyond survival into a life of stability, purpose, and independence. We don't want to see people living in dependency of our occasional help but we want to show them their role , accompany them in using their God given talents and skills to get out of poverty in order to become self-reliant and Self-supportive.

We view family as a unit of lasting change that's why we believe if a family is transformed a community will be transformed.

Our Goat for change, One Goat One family project is going on and if you want to be part of the transformation we're dreaming about, please consider to donate one goat or more to help families to become self-reliant.

It's with a joyful heart that we want to announce our very first Youth Retreat taking place from 23rd to 26th July 2026 at Gethsemane Center Ruziba.

This will be a very powerful moment as youth from local churches gather together in the presence of God through worship, prayers and teachings from various Pastors and Ministry leaders.

As a faith based organization which dreams about lasting change through life transformation we believe that youth has a great role to play in this journey and this has to start with their deep relationship and intimacy with God.

Living in an intimate relationship with Him and serving others with humble hearts will surely bring change in the communities. Our desire is that young people may not live as victims of what happens in their communities but starting with surrendering and dedicating their lives to God , Youth may learn more about God's calling for their lives, becoming active and effective in their families, churches and communities.

For More information related to this retreat you can have a look at the poster below 👇 👇

Your prayers and financial support are appreciated.
