Event Description
This Christmas season, Blessed to Bless Life Ministries is hosting a heartfelt fundraiser to bring joy, hope, and celebration to vulnerable refugee children in Kyaka II Refugee Settlement. Many of these children have faced unimaginable hardships, and the holidays often pass without the warmth and festivities they deserve. Through the “Joyful Hearts Campaign,” we aim to create a meaningful Christmas and New Year’s celebration for them, ensuring they feel loved, valued, and part of a community that cares deeply for their well-being.
This event is not just about giving gifts; it’s about restoring childhood laughter, building memories, and nurturing hope for a brighter future.
