  Great News: We Have a Fiscal Sponsor! Dear Friends and Supporters, We are thrilled to share a major milestone for Momo Children’s Home! As of June 18, 2026 , we have officially signed an agreement with our new Fiscal Sponsor, the Christian Ministry Alliance (CMA) ! What This Means for You Tax-Deductible Donations: Because CMA is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit ministry organization, all of your financial gifts toward MCH will now be fully tax-deductible. Fee Structure: As our fiscal sponsor, CMA will handle the collection and distribution of all our donations for a standard 6% administrative fee (plus a 4% processing fee for online transactions). Action Required for Recurring Donors Within the next week, MCH will be fully set up with our new CMA donation page. I will send out an email with the new payment link as soon as it goes live, and I will also update our website to reflect this change.   If you currently have a recurring gift set up under our old system: Even tho...

Inspection update

INSPECTION RESULTS [11:51 AM, 6/1/2026] Sue Ramson As soon as you can James, write up what all happened, what the inspector(s) did, looked for, asked about, etc.   AND confirm ... did we pass inspection?   Is Momo an official CBO???  🙂 [3:19 PM, 6/1/2026] Vicent James Katerega: Praise God! Maama, thank you so much for asking. ​ I am so happy to share how God answered our prayers. We started our day very early with all of our children, and we stood together in prayer from 8:00 a.m. until 9:30 a.m., putting the whole day into God's hands. After our prayers, we began preparing everything and making sure the house was completely ready. Then, we started waiting for our visitors to arrive. Suddenly, heavy rain started pouring down. Because of the storm, she could not reach us at the exact time we expected, and our hearts were full of worry. We had been waiting and praying so hard, and it felt like we were waiting for a very difficult exam that we could not bypass. Bu...

CBO Registration

Image
Huge Milestone.  Prayers Please!   Inspection is Monday! I have some incredibly exciting news to share with all of you! Looking back to where we started, it is absolutely mind-blowing to see God's hand in everything that has brought us to this moment. Thanks to a lot of hard work, dedication, and YOUR generous financial and prayer support, Momo Children's Home is ready for their scheduled inspection Monday, June 1 at 10 am (Ugandan time) to be approved and registered as a certified Community-Based Organization (CBO) . We could not have reached this point without your encouragement and backing. We began this journey with the children sleeping on mats on the floor.  (See Our Story From The Beginning ).   Today, every child is sleeping on an above-ground bed!!  Their home is now secure and safe with a protective fence!!  Three months rent has been paid in advance!!  And a month of food reserve is in place!! Since the very beginning, it's been a...

This Applies To ALL Of You

I have repeatedly expressed to James that God sees them and loves them ... so much so he has called and put on not just my, but all of YOUR hearts to be His hands extended.   No matter how big or small your contribution to the Momo project, it ALL matters and it ALL makes a difference.  This heartfelt message from James may be addressed to me, but it includes and applies to ALL OF YOU.  James, team and children know I never have, nor cannot do this alone.   Thank you sincerely for undergirding James, team and the children in prayer,  and for those who have also been able, thank you for your financial support as well.     May you be blessed abundantly for your obedience to the call. God's Love never fails! Sue ​​

  I would greatly appreciate any help in proofing this Ops Manual  (posted below) for content and typos.   My old eyes and brain are a bit fuzzy at the moment!!   Email me (Sue) at momochildrenshome@gmail.com if you see any glaring edits needed!! The good news is we are CLOSE to finalizing all requirements to officially register as a Community Based Organization (CBO)!!!!   Please be in prayer for the inspection next week!  (Note: In forthcoming blogs I will also explain WHY we made the shift from the orphanage model to the Family Based Care model. In short, international research shows that roughly 80% of children living in traditional institutional orphanages have living family members.  The shift is about actively combatting systemic corruption, orphanage scams and exploitation.  It's about moving away from "warehousing" children in need and moving toward raising them in true, loving, legally compliant forever home families.)...
