Meet Viola—a courageous young woman whose story inspires us all.
Orphaned at just nine years old and living with HIV, Viola found hope through our partners at New Dawn. She received food support and learned valuable skills in tailoring and bead-making.

Today, Viola runs her own shop. Recently, thanks to your generosity, we were able to provide her with inventory—allowing her to create items ahead of time instead of relying solely on custom orders. Your support is helping her business thrive and enabling her to care for her grandmother and her sister’s child.

Grateful for the impact New Dawn has had on her life, Viola now gives back by donating to the very program that once supported her. Her journey is a powerful reminder of how your compassion transforms lives.

We first met Rose (center) and her sister Mercy in 2018, and over the years we’ve had the privilege of watching them grow. On our most recent trip, we were able to spend time with Rose again. Each time we see her, she’s a little less shy and a little more confident.

Seeing her live, laugh, and love learning at school brings us so much joy. It’s a beautiful reminder of what long-term support can do in a child’s life.

The Uganda Experience was truly unforgetable🤍🌍

One of the travelers summed it up perfectly:

“It truly was an amazing experience. The work Assist International does is monumental, and the people we met were so warm, gracious, and joyful—even in unimaginable poverty. It changed my life and is something I’ll cherish forever.”
— Mitchell Manning

Grateful for every moment, every story, and every life impacted.

We hope you had a beautiful Easter weekend, surrounded by those you love. 💛 Easter is a celebration of hope—the kind that rises out of love.

We see that hope alive in the resilience of children, families, and communities. This season reminds us that new life is always possible, and that love—when shared and lived out—brings light wherever it goes.

Good Friday invites us to notice suffering we might otherwise pass by—and to respond with compassion, presence, and care.

As we reflect on time spent with rescued children in Uganda and around the world, we’re reminded why this work matters: standing with those who are vulnerable and choosing action rooted in love.

Today, we hold space not only for reflection, but for hope—and the quiet strength of love lived out.

You may remember Innocent—we first met him in 2013. Abandoned because he was born without arms, his early life was marked by loss most of us can hardly imagine. Yet even then, Innocent learned to use his feet to make sand‑filled water‑bottle bricks and to create beautiful drawings—small signs of resilience and hope.

Rescued by Sister Rosemary, Innocent became one of the living reminders of why the Sewing Hope Children’s Village was created—a place made possible by so many of you.

Today, Innocent is a graduate with honors. On our recent visit to Atiak, we saw him teaching at the Sewing Hope school before returning to university, using his feet to create maps and learning posters that inspire and equip other children walking their own hard roads.

Seeing Innocent return as a teacher moves us deeply. It reminds us that redemption is real, and that love—faithfully given—can change the course of a life. Because of your generosity, children like Innocent are not only rescued—they are empowered to serve, lead, and inspire others. 💛

While in Uganda visiting our partners, we were deeply honored to witness a beautiful tribute to our founder at AOET in Jinja—a school and orphan village Bob Pagett loved and championed for decades.

The celebration, the dancing, the joy—all offered in remembrance of his life and impact.

Beneath his portrait, the words read, “Your legacy lives on at AOET.” And we feel that deeply, too. 🤍

You may remember Cezar from our Gala last year. Because of you, he and his cousin Immaculate are now supported in school — and most recently, thanks to your generosity, their family received new mattresses.

For years, they slept on torn pieces of foam. Today, they are excited for this simple but meaningful upgrade — one that brings comfort and a renewed sense of security to their home. This is what your generosity makes possible: opportunity by day, and rest at night. 🌍❤️
