## LAZARUS MINISTRIES NATIONAL & INTERNATIONAL (L.M.N.L ) TRUSTEES REPORT AUGUST 2022 — JULY 2023
Work has been sustained at both Lweru and Nakiseeke Children’s Homes. The importance ofthe upkeep of the properties and continuing with the upkeep of the perimeter fencing at Lweru has continued to be a priority and the importance of regular checking and maintenance has been maintained. We have continued to support seventeen children at Lweru Children’s Home and fifteen children at Nalulya Children’s Home, as well as needy local elderly people.
Both homes have continued to produce food crops although this has often been sadly hindered by lack of rainfall which is an ongoing problem for growing crops in Africa. In Nakiseeke the land is very poor for growing but the gardening work is carried out by those that live on the land with the help of the children.
This year has continued to see a change in farming the land at Lweru. Martin Jingo, the brother of our Secretary, has continued to offer his help in advising on growing coffee on the land. We continue to be very grateful to him for his input at Lweru. The aim towards self-sufficiency is making progress and they are on their way to becoming more self- sufficient.
Coffee trees have been planted on an acre of the land and with encouragement the growing has been quite successful. The plants have flourished despite challenges but are still progressing well, having flowered and produced beans. They were encouraged with initial watering but the rains came to give the plantation proper growth. They were encouraged to fertilise the trees and to use mulching material, some of which they obtained from other crops (like maize) when it was harvested. Regular weeding has helped with pest and disease control; weeding being a challenge especially when there is much rain. Fertilisers and mulching have proved to be very important. The progress of the coffee has been an encouragement to many in the community who have developed admiration and were encouraged to set up their own coffee plantations. Intercropping has helped to add to the food supply by planting maize, beans, sweet potatoes and cassava; although some failures through lack of rain.
Following the establishment of the coffee (which could be sold commercially), the next step is to plant fruit trees along the perimeter fencing. This makes it necessary to continue with any repairs needed and this has been done during the year.
Wilson, who was appointed for the task of overseeing the work on the land has been very helpful in every situation where help has been needed and has continued to keep a check on progress; he has especially been helpful withencouraging the children.
Sadly, again this year we have been unable to hold any fundraising events, but we have continued to receive regular monthly donations and the funds from the mission
boxes. We have successfully continued to support our work in Uganda and have been able to help the prisoners at Buikwe Prison.
Some successes were recorded with some of the children we have been supporting. Vicky graduated from her course in catering and hotel management. Molly graduated inher teaching course and some of the older boys passed their O levels and have progressed to an A level course this year. Toko Emmanuel has completed his certificate in Electrical Work. These were very encouraging results from children who would not have been able to succeed with the help needed for their schooling. As the children are growing older there is the challenge of increasing school fees alongside other needs for trips, etc in their school lives.
Despite the passing of Grandma Gertrude the work has continued with others continuing to do their best for the children although she is still sadly missed by all those children she served and cared for and those elderly in the local community. Sadly Angela Nanziri passed away as she was being taken to hospital, she was the youngest of our original orphans at Nanulya Village.
We successfully received re-registration this year of our NGO status after submitting all our details for approval. Despite this there have been very many challenges which have come for NGO’s working in Uganda with many requirements coming in to play by the Government.
There wasa visit earlier this year from one of our trustees and other supporters of Lazarus Ministries. During this visit the children from both children’s home were able to meet for the first time. They met up at a beach resort near Entebbe and were treated to a boat ride, lunch and other entertainment. Everyone was very excited by this trip as they are very rare, This was followed up bya visit to Lweru Children’s Home bya group of the followers.
As trustees ofLazarus Ministries, we feel, again, that we have been able to maintain the work at both children’s homes during this year. We are always very concerned for the health and safety of these young children and youth and every effort is made to always make this our priority.
New works have also begun in Zimbabwe, South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, India and also in Lahore in Pakistan.
Work began in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe with the blind and disabled who were forced to beg on the street to provide food for themselves. We have been able to send them monthly support in the form of a monthly food package and this has been sustained and still continues. This work then was extended to help people in Care Homes and monthly food packages have helped them enormously as they previously were solely dependent on ‘out-of-date’ food which was delivered to them. Access has been gained into the prisons where a spiritual work has begun and many requests for Bibles have been satisfied. The door was opened for us to ship drums to Bulawayo being filled with essential things like clothes, shoes, Vaseline, cd players, dvd players and much spiritual material which they were desperate for. NGO status was applied for and this was granted last year.

The work was exiended to the team in South Africa where a work began with the homeless and drug addicts being able to give them food and drink on a monthly basis. Spiritual help has been given and in one particular case, a lady has been taken from begging on the streets and helped with regular food packages and with much needed medical help. Extended help has been given where it has been needed as many suffer with conditions becausc they are unable to pay for medical help. Help was also extended to students in university who were struggling with mental issues. The work was then extended into Nigeria where much needed Bibles are distributed among the poor and in the villages.
We have been helping when we have been able a Children’s Centre in Kenya where children who belong to very poor families are fed and educated; those who are unable to pay school fees. Also in India where there is much work amongst the poor and with the children we have been able to send help when requested.
A new regular work has begun in Lahore, Pakistan; A group of young women have been there to help and go out into the community and villages to help poor families with food and teaching. We have been able to support them with funds on a monthly basis.
