Poverty. Terrorism. Armed conflict. Hunger. AIDS/HIV.
These are just a few of the atrocities that children in Israel and Uganda are forced to reckon with - to absorb into their reality and battle through in an effort to cope and continue on.

Israel's National Insurance Institute reported in 2008 that 36% of all Israeli children are living in poverty - thus ranking Israel first among Western Industrial nations with the greatest percentage of poor children. This equates to one out of every 3rd child living in poverty.
MBKI Israel is a community-based organization that is responding to the growing needs of these children by providing a flexible basket of services (that address practical and educational needs) to schools, kindergartens and families.
From our work in Jerusalem, we have embraced Israel's original call to be a light unto the gentile nations and have begun operating in rural Uganda to meet the dire needs of children orphaned by AIDS.
UNAIDS reported that in Uganda alone there are one million children orphaned by AIDS. UNICEF completes the picture by projecting that by the year 2010 the number of children orphaned by AIDS in Sub Saharan Africa will reach 18-20 million.
MBKI Uganda is a humanitarian organization that is partnering with city-based and rural Christian leaders to meet the needs of vulnerable and orphaned children.
