We as JJ Community are privileged to have been part of Hand in Hand in God’s Ministry as we celebrate a very fruitful partnership. Our partnership with Hand in Hand has been a key part of our operations and growth. 100% of donations sent to Hand in Hand for JJ have been passed on to us here in Uganda for our work ‘on the ground.’ Further support has been secured through Hand in Hand’s proposal writing and other fundraising activities. With 41% of all our income coming from the UK, it has been such a blessing to be able to offer UK and online supporters a transparent, accountable way of donating to us without the cost of opening up a UK office. In addition, publicity through their website and publications, encouragement, prayer support, reciprocal visits from Hand in Hand to Uganda and by JJ to Hand in Hand’s office, advice, suggestions and sharing ideas have been a great benefit. Thank you Hand in Hand.
