As the season of thanksgiving approaches, we pause to reflect on the abundance of blessings that surround us, particularly within the SHANITA family. Nestled in the heart of Karamoja, Uganda, where life's challenges often loom large, we asked the children of Shanita what they are thankful for.

Their responses were as diverse as they were heartwarming. Here are the top five things the children of SHANITA are grateful for:


''A Safe Place to Stay and Sleep'': For many children, having a secure and comfortable place to call home is a luxury they cherish deeply. At SHANITA, we provide a refuge where children can find shelter, warmth, and the love of a supportive community.


''Shoes and Clean Clothes'': The simple joys of slipping into a pair of shoes and wearing clean clothes bring immense gratitude to the children of SHANITA. These essentials not only offer protection and comfort but also symbolize dignity and self-respect.


''Nutritious Food'': Access to nutritious food is a fundamental need that many children in underserved communities often go without. At SHANITA, we ensure that every child receives nourishing meals, enabling them to thrive and grow healthily.


''Love and Care of Our Team'': The dedicated staff members at SHANITA are admired and appreciated by the children for their unwavering commitment, compassion, and guidance. Through their love and care, these children have found mentors and advocates who believe in their potential and strive to uplift them every step of the way.


''Friendships'': Within the SHANITA community, friendships are cultivated and cherished. These bonds, forged through shared experiences and mutual support, enrich the lives of the children in profound ways, offering companionship, joy, and a sense of belonging.





As we gather to celebrate Thanksgiving, let us carry in our hearts the profound gratitude expressed by the children of SHANITA. Their resilience, hope, and appreciation serve as a reminder of the transformative power of gratitude, illuminating the path forward with warmth and light.


Join us in giving thanks and spreading hope this season. Together, let's continue to empower these children to build brighter futures filled with promise and possibility.

Happy Thanksgiving from the SHANITA family! 🍂🌟
