Sponsorship
Children in Kapeeka live in extraordinarily poor conditions. They face the dangers of extreme hunger and disease, and a grinding cycle of poverty. By joining with COVE Alliance, you can improve their lives and create a real possibility of constructive change in their futures. Your sponsorship provides a child with education, clothing, healthcare and nutrition. Sponsored children are taught the life skills that will allow them to become self-sustaining in the future.
As a sponsor you will develop a relationship with your child and infuse a spirit of
hope and dignity. You will receive annual reports from COVE Uganda on your child's progress
in school, and you will have the opportunity to correspond with your child regularly.
Become a sponsor and create a safe harbor where Uganda's orphaned and disadvantaged children can thrive while they prepare for a better future. Your support of $40 or $80 per month will help provide a vulnerable child with basic sustenance, education, and medical care. For more information about sponsorship, please email sponsorship@covealliance.org. To sponsor a child, please fill out this form... To pay sponsorship fees, click here... Attention Sponsors Please note that all letters and gifts for the children should be sent directly to Uganda at the following address (please do NOT send registered mail as this requires significant travel to retrieve from the post office):
St. Jerome COVE Center Kapeeka
P.O. Box 72717 Kampala, Uganda Please include the child's name and sponsorship number on the inside of the package. For further information, please refer to your "Guidelines for Sponsors" . |

I was blessed to meet Vivian, the child I would be sponsoring, in the summer of 2017 when I had the opportunity to go to Kapeeka, Uganda to help the children of St. Jerome COVE School.
It was an experience that was life changing for me. Upon our meeting there was a joy that I can’t even begin to describe. When Vivian started school, we exchanged letters.
Vivian’s letters usually began with a drawing of a big heart that says “I Love You” and
she always wrote that she was doing her best and was working hard so that she could be a nurse - her lifelong dream.
As the letters continued, she mentioned that school was becoming more difficult and her report cards showed her grades were less than average.
One of her teacher’s commented that Vivian was having trouble seeing the board, even when sitting in the front of the classroom.
It was determined that Vivian had poor vision and needed glasses, after which her grades and her confidence improved as she continues to work toward her goal of becoming a nurse.
Now it is a priority that all children at St. Jerome are screened for vision on a regular basis so that each child can work to his/her full potential and become
successful.
As I reflect on my visit to St. Jerome COVE School and meeting my sponsored child, I feel so blessed that Vivian gifted me with her joy-filled spirit.
This is something that will remain in my heart forever.
I pray that others will have the opportunity to experience this too!
