Story
Potter's Village - Child Crisis Centre
We are inviting you to join with us in any way you can to raise money to support the Crisis Centre at Potters Village as they continue to give Hope for Growth to many children in the years to come. As we celebrate the return to a more normal life free from restrictions, this is great opportunity to get together with our church, family and friends and find creative ways to raise money and have fun at the same time!
Fifteen years ago, in 2006, the first bricks were placed to build the foundations of the iconic Potters Village buildings. Those distinctive, green roofed buildings have, over the years, been a haven for so many vulnerable children, frightened and grieving family members and a trusted place for the staff that work there.
Jenny Green's vision, based on the scripture in Jeremiah 18 - The Potter and the clay - was rooted in the idea that Potters Village was there to help re-shape the lives of these tiny babies who might otherwise have very little hope. From the first seeds of the Child Crisis centre, Potters Village has gone on to develop an excellent Children's Medical Centre (with Outpatient and Inpatient facilities), a Special Care Nursery, a Nutritional Rehabilitation Centre, an Antenatal unit and a Rehab Centre for Children with Disabilities.
This project has been truly blessed and we are grateful to God for providing all that this project has needed over the years so that it can serve the community. We are also thankful to the Ugandan staff, many of whom have committed many years to working at Potters Village. The project has also been fortunate to have some fantastic overseas volunteers, amazing Donors, Supporters and Child Sponsors who have all helped make Potters Village shine like a light in and for the community.
We want to highlight the work of the Crisis Centre in this appeal. The Crisis Centre is the reason Potters Village was established and which fully supports vulnerable children for the long term. Potters Village currently supports fifteen resident children and sixty in the community.
Without your support we would have to turn babies and families away when they needed our help the most. There are many stories we can tell, to read some of them please click on this link to be re-directed to the Potters Village Website. Thank you.
