A Word from Brent Phillips
Impact: verb /imˈpakt/ To have a strong effect on someone or something. To spend any resource, be it time, money, or effort, and not have impact, is a waste of resource. The purpose of this report is to share with you the impact of the resources invested in Cherish Uganda.
This recipients of this report are two different audiences – those that have invested resources in Cherish and those who might. We want to lay out some of the ways that your invested resource has had a strong effect on someone or something. We don’t want to be an organization that just does good things through schools, a health center and a program that walks alongside of families. We want to be a ministry that loves and disciples people and uses your investment in schools, a health center and a program that walks alongside of families to truly change the lives of so many, all for the sake of the kingdom of God. So, spend a few minutes taking a look at what you have done, what you will do, and what you could do as you provide a hope and a future for children living with HIV in Uganda.
Sincerely,
Brent Phillips
Cherish Uganda CEO
