Episode 9 - Kisoboka Uganda - A Longer Conversation with Co-Founders Sandra Gannon and Hope Kalibbala: The Power of Sponsorship, Child Marriages, Witchcraft, and Bore Holes for Bakka
Episode 9 of Giving Heart Beat is a longer conversation with Kisoboka Uganda Co-Founders Sandra Gannon and Hope Kalibbala. We learn about the power of sponsorship and a young girl named Shakira, the challenges of proving the value of education to the village families, the prevalence of witchdoctor medicine in the village, as well as the common practice of child marriage in Uganda. Kisoboka Uganda works ceaselessly to holistically improve the quality of life for all children of Bakka and their families.
Sponsorships are needed for many children and young adults and "Mamasan" as Sandy is known in Bakka, personally matches children with sponsors.
Kisoboka Uganda supports the children and young adults until they become successful in what they want to do in life.
Whose Daughter Am I?-- Available on Amazon.com -- was written by Hope Kalibbala and it tells the story of the practice of child marriage through the lens of a young girl.
