REACH UP REACH OUT MINISTRIES INC

1. Reach Up Reach Out will provide training and opportunities for churches, ministries and other organizations to engage in serving the poor.

2. Reach Up Reach Out will assemble volunteer teams with specialized skills (medical missions, building/construction teams, creative arts) to travel oversees (most immediately Uganda, East Africa) to lend support and provide their expertise to partnering organizations on the ground.


3. Reach Up Reach Out will provide both educational and vocational training for widows in developing nations, most immediately Uganda, East Africa, giving them dignity and hope while also significantly increasing their earning potential.

4. Reach Up Reach Out will financially support local Ugandan organizations who are providing food, shelter, clothing, healthcare and education to orphans.

1. By the end of 2016, we will have obtained monthly financial partnerships with at least 3 other ministries/churches. We will also train and prep members of their teams for Missions trips to Uganda. We plan to take 1 trip in 2016 and 2 trips in 2017.

2. We will select and prep a volunteer team in 2016 for our Christmas in Uganda trip to Tororo, Uganda in December, providing food, clothes and fun for 1000 orphans. We will also select and prep 1 volunteer worship and creative arts team in 2017 to teach worship and the arts to the children of Smile Africa in Tororo, Uganda.

3. We will financially support the ongoing vocational training program at Smile Africa (sewing, gardening, jewelry design) for vulnerable women at Smile Africa, specifically 50 women in 2016 and 100 in 2017.

4. We will throw a Christmas party at Smile Africa for 1000 orphans and street children in December 2016 and 2017, communicating the love and message of Jesus. Each child will receive a Christmas gift, a Bible, food and clothing, not to mention a day filled with laughter and fun.

1. Our Founders' two decades in full time non-profit/church ministry affords us many relationships n which to engage dozens of churches and thousands of people. We also have expertise in coaching and training individuals and groups alike for service and engagement.

2. Our Founders have lived abroad in Uganda and have lead groups on Missions trips for the past 15 years. Their experiences have prepared and qualified them for trips and endeavors as large as Christmas in Uganda which serves 1000 children.

3. Our 2016 Mother's Day campaign raised $1,000, enough monies for us to hire widows from the vocational program to design and sew brand new dresses for 50 widows. We want to continue to find ways to support this training program and the women who attend.

4. In our first year, we were able to raise $25,000 and give 750 orphans and street children a Christmas Party. The success of last year's event gives us great momentum for 2016. We have also assembled a team of 15 who will travel with RURO to Uganda in December.

In the one year we have been in existence, we have accomplished quite a few things we are extremely proud of:

1. In December 2015, we gave 750 orphans a Christmas they would soon forget. We plan to up that number to 1000 in 2016.

2. We have financial partnerships with 5 US churches and 1 US organization which allows us to operate day to day. We hope to up this number to 10 by 2017.

3. We hired widows to bless other widows. This is enabling these women to be self-sufficient and provide for their children and for the widows receiving the gift, it is building confidence and hope. We want to provide monthly financial support to Smile Africa that directly allows more widows to attend.

4. We completed a worship project that will serve to raise monies for RURO's efforts in East Africa and engage people in worship.
