Christmas presents Sonrise Ministries

This year, we would once again like to brighten up Christmas for the children and caregivers at Sonrise Ministries and the families in Masese, a slum district in Jinja, with individual gifts.

With €20 for a specific child or a freely selectable amount for the “big pot,” we can buy educational toys, clothing, hygiene items, and food locally, giving everyone an unforgettable Christmas.

As in the previous year, you can continue to choose the children directly. The amount per child remains at 20 euros. The “big pot” is also back. You can donate any amount to this pot if you don't want to choose a specific child. At the end of the project, we will divide this sum among the children without direct donors, the caregivers at Sonrise Ministries, and the families from Masese.

At the bottom of the page, you can choose whether you would like to donate to a child from the Sonrise Baby Home, Sonrise Children's Home, a girl from the Mirembe Cottage of Street Girls, a caregiver's child, or the “big pot.” The names are listed from left to right. You can immediately see which children already have a sponsor by the color change and the missing link to the donation form. Orange = reserved/donation received, turquoise = available. When you click on “Donate,” you will be asked to enter the name of the child and the corresponding home in a form. As soon as we receive the form, we will block the child for other donors. Alternatively, you can also choose the “big pot.” You will then receive the bank details for the donation account. Each child can only be selected once. However, if duplicate donations occur, we will contact you. Clicking on one of the images below will take you to the selection of children from the individual homes.

Since 2023, you can also reserve the children you have chosen for this project for the coming years. If you wish to do so, please write a corresponding comment in the donation form. You can revoke your reservation at any time without giving a reason. If you prefer, you can also fill out the SEPA form. We will then deduct the money directly from your account at the start of the project each year. Of course, the GDPR information is also available for this.

You are also welcome to write your own Christmas card to your child again this year, which we will take with us in our personal luggage. Preferably in English. You can either give us these cards in person or send them by post. Another little tip: the children are particularly happy to receive photos of the donors. This way, they can see who made their gift possible. However, please refrain from sending additional personal gifts for the children, as this would put a strain on our luggage given the number of children.
