Did you know that PATH partners with the widowed mothers of our CBC children to teach them foundational skills, like reading and basic arithmetic. We also teach about financial saving and business skills. Empowering these mothers helps the children in our program, as well as their siblings, essentially doubling or quadrupling the impact of sponsoring one child!
In Ethiopia, 32% of primary-aged children are out of school. The poorest children are the most affected, often required to work or beg on the street instead of attend school. Your support is helping some of the most vulnerable children in eastern Ethiopia go to school!
We love lunch time with our kids in Chiro, Ethiopia!
Did you know that malaria threatens almost half of the world`s population? In 2021 alone, it killed over 619,000 people, and Africa suffers the most. One of the best ways to prevent malaria is by sleeping under a treated mosquito net, like the ones we use at Otino Waa and distribute to our CBC children. Prevention and early testing and treatment are key when it comes to malaria!
Sponsoring a child provides an education, food, clean water, clothing, medical care, a caring community and so much more!
Here`s a look at the progress on the Otino Waa Medical Clinic expansion! We are thrilled to be able to expand our medical care offerings and provide much-needed care to our kids and the surrounding community!

Huge thank you to Grove Christian Camp for choosing PATH International as their ministry focus for this past week of Bible Camp! This amazing group of middle school campers generously gave of their snack shack funds to help orphaned children in Africa, how cool is that? Thank you!! #everydollarcounts #sponsorachild #kidshelpingkids
We`re excited to welcome our Executive Director, Dave Shuping, and his team to Lira!
Hilda joined Otino Waa just a few months ago. So much in her life has changed already! When we found her, she had never set foot into a school before and only ate one meal a day, if she was lucky. She came from an impoverished village deep in the bush where it was common for girls to be married off by the age of 13.
When we went to pick up Hilda, her entire village came out to say goodbye and wish her well. They knew about Otino Waa and that her life was about to change for the better! Today, she goes to school everyday, eats 3 solid meals, is surrounded by friends and dreams of becoming a nurse.
YOUR SUPPORT makes all this possible - thank you!

“Let your hopes, not your hurts, shape your future.”
Our approach to orphan care takes the whole child into account. We begin with meeting their basic human needs: Food, clean water, a safe home, medical and dental care. Then we build upon that foundation by providing high quality education, spiritual formation and counseling. A child deserves to do more then just survive, our passion is to see them thrive.
Last year we opened a maternity wing in the medical clinic at Otino Waa. This was in response to an overwhelming need for maternity and infant care in Northern Uganda where the infant mortality rate is 46 of 1,000. So far, 56 babies have been born in our clinic!
Right now, construction to expand the clinic is underway. We are adding 5 separate wards for overnight treatment for children, women, men, labor, and before and after delivery, as well as office space. We anticipate that the construction will be finished in October or November. Expanding our capacity at the clinic will reduce the mortality rate among mothers and babies, provide quality services to the area, improve overall health, save transportation costs for traveling into cities, and give an opportunity to share God’s love to all our patients.
Recess is so much fun at Survivor`s Primary, the kids enjoy soccer, volleyball, jump rope and running races. What are you kids favorite activities?
We are looking to purchase 8 motorcycles for our staff and social workers. One motorcycle is $3,000...would you be able to help?
As a Jesus-centered organization we aim to rescue and bring restoration to orphaned children living in the harshest places. We accomplish this by partnering with families, community leaders, and churches to eliminate extreme poverty by addressing vulnerabilities, providing education, and creating opportunities to empower those who have been forgotten.
Greetings from the children at Survivor`s Primary, one of our CBC partner schools in Northern Uganda. Survivors is our farthest partner school, located about 1.5 hours from Otino Waa (when the roads are decent.) These children are VERY EXCITED and grateful to be in school, they are working so hard!
Right now one of the more pressing needs at Otino Waa is for transportation. Read on...https://pathinternational.co/transportation-needs-at-otino-waa/
