My story

Moniques vader heeft het gezin verlaten toen zij net geboren was. Haar moeder was te arm om goed voor haar te kunnen zorgen. Zij bracht haar naar Iris Ministries. Monique heeft nog een zus, Leticia Miguel die ook in het kinderdorp woont. In Mozambique wordt de geboortedatum vaak niet goed bijgehouden, hierdoor kunnen we helaas alleen een schatting van Fatima’s geboortejaar geven. Monique houdt van chips en ijs en wil graag ballerina worden.

Monique is supported by impact partner Project Foodstep

Foodstep in Uganda was founded 16 years ago by the Belgian couple Werner and Nathalie. They were touched by the distress of the many street children, children from the children's prison and severely neglected children. They started in their own home with 2, then 15 and eventually 50 children. They decided to buy a piece of land and create a warm house on it. Together with a team of social workers, foster mothers, staff for the administration, cooks, drivers, pastor, etc., Foodstep has grown into a beautiful, safe and loving place for the children. All the children who live there have been placed there by child protection and the judge, their situation was untenable. Children at Foodstep all go to school, receive good medical help, nutritious meals, social care but above all a lot of love!
