Children’s Ministry “Alina’s Kids”
During 2022, Discussions were made as to the way forward for this section of the Ministry.
The Director of Alina’s Kids proposed to take the Ministry forward as an independent NGO under the name of Life Healing Rehabilitation Centre (LHRC) with a completely new board locally represented.
The Trustees of Gospellife International agreed with the proposal, and the children’s director formed a new board named Life Healing Rehabilitation Centre. (LHRC) and applications were submitted to the Ugandan NGO board for registration. And was approved in the Autumn of 2022
Gospellife International has gifted the Vehicle used by Alina’s Kids to transport the children to further the work of LHRC.
For now, Gospellife International continues to provide financial support to LHRC. LHRC, a fully Independent Registered Ugandan NGO, will submit its accounts and annual report directly to the Ugandan Revenue Authorities and the Ugandan NGO Board.
