Help us celebrate and support the growth of Jajja's Kids as we enjoy great food and ambiance at Revolution Hall, and dance to the lively music of the Nisky Dixie Cats!  

As we honor ten years of our U.S.-Ugandan connection, meet Ronnie Sseruyange in person. Hear about his early life on the street, and learn about the former street children now in his care.

Join us in paying tribute to two special people in our community: 

  - Elena Mosley, Director of Operation Unite NY, Hudson

  - Susan Fowler, Second Grade Teacher, Delaware Community School, Albany

Learn why Elena and Susan are so important to Jajja's Kids!

If you'd like to enjoy the party together with friends, reserve your party table by contacting Joanna at (518) 370-0158.

Jajja's Kids -- Growing and Thriving!

The top photo was taken at the start of Jajja's Home in early 2013, where 14 children--some as young as 4 and 5--were living together but only eight attended school. Today 19 children (second photo) live together at the home and have cultivated a sense of community as brothers and sister--and all attend school!

In just its first year, our scholarship program has become a very important foundation for our children to grow into successful and productive members of society. 

Twelve children are now sponsored for all education needs throughout the year, while two other children are sponsored for all expenses including education, food, housing, and medical costs.  

Heartfelt thanks to our wonderful sponsors for your commitment and caring, and providing needed resources to make a difference in these children's lives!

Thanks to the generous support of long-time friend Jim Suozzo, a $5,000 challenge began June 10, with the aim to raise an equal amount in donations  by the end of the year.  Board members then stepped in and added $2,000 to the initial challenge. 

We have so far received $3,475 in donations over the summer, so are half-way to our $7,000 goal!  

Remember--every penny donated will double in benefit to our children!  If you have thought of donating to Jajja's Kids but haven't done it yet, now is the time!
