Petra’s Story Living Out a Promise. “I am coming back for you!” “...when I grow up, I will come for all of you, Amen…” were words promised daily by a young, orphaned girl in Uganda.
In 2009, those impassioned, never forgotten, words of Petra Otee Mangesho, became the driving force behind the founding of Petra Kids Ministries, a 501-c (3) organization in the USA. Today, those words continue to work to restore hope and build dreams for over 400 children in Aduku, Uganda.
Many children are forced into day labor to help provide for their families, and those who are fortunate enough to attend class must do so under trees or in poor quality government facilities. In northern Uganda, three out of four children are unable to continue their education beyond elementary school, resulting in a 90% illiteracy rate.
In response to those alarming statistics, PKM is providing education grounded on Biblical principles that empower and develop children spiritually, socially, physically & intellectual
I send greetings to you, My name is Mukunzi Marvin Junior, and I'm in O-Level, S.3 Class. I'm a 19-year-old boy, I live in Kampala with my Mom, I'm here requesting you to sponsor me for my studies, So to take you back, I was once a student at O-Level secondary school🏫 and probably I was in senior three(S.3) class but ever since term one 2024, I never went back to school, This came as a result that I'm a child who grew up in a very poor family that even to get what to eat is so difficult for us, So My Mom is the only one to take care of me and my siblings in everything that we need at home like buying food, clothes, paying school tuition and electric bills, So all the responsibility is facing her only and since she's a single mother. Therefore, as a result of a lot of such responsibility my Mom is having, became unable to support me to continue with my studies🧑🎓 and so I was stopped from going to school since my Mom didn't have any money to educate me, In such a hard situation, I started being at home ever since term one in the year 2024 up to now, My former students always laugh at me seeing me as a failure, But I didn't lose hope because I know Jesus will answer my prayers.Sine I have a dream of becoming a doctor in future time, This is because of a very large number of people dying due to lack of healthy insufficient, So most of them end up losing their lives and others stay in conscious and live with terrible diseases, Therefore I realized that all these has spreaded as a result of better health services, So I developed a dream of setting up a big hospital with all acquired equipment, In that many people will be treated for little or no many payed, So I'm here kindly requesting your support indeed for me to achieve it positively. So sincerely, that is the situation that I'm going through now, So I decided to look for support much as I have some idea about the internet that I used to look for you, I'm here kneeling before our God🙏🙏 the provider, kindly requesting you to sponsor my studies at O-Level studies, I'm sure that you will not discourage me, Here is my contact 0779819290 and my Email is mukunzimarvin@gmail.com., May the Almighty God bless you...... 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Your regards Mukunzi Marvin Junior
