20 Years in Review
This year marks a humbling milestone — 20 years. Who knew, in June 2003, when Sylvia was ‘adopted’ by the Mbiriizi Advanced Primary & DayCare School as their grandmother, how far they would come in two decades. No one could have predicted the successes — the new buildings and resources across the campus or the lives of orphans brought from near hopelessness to security and promise.
The 20th Anniversary of Sylvia’s Children is an accomplishment of many — our partners in Uganda, our wonderful students, and of course, you. Nothing comes from nothing, as they say, and without the consistent support of our donors all of this would have remained an idea (instead it’s an incredibly true reality).
With over 1000 students in the Primary school, 80 orphans in high school, 170 orphans with college and/or technical degrees and another 100 orphans poised to graduate in 2024 and 2025 it was a celebration of joy, of success and of a wonderful partnership. In this review we highlight some of the major accomplishment of 2023 in greater detail, and hope to offer you a glimpse into the incredible work happening at Mbiriizi Advanced. We hope you join us again this year as we begin the next 20 years with even greater vision than before.
