Kisoboka means "it is possible" in the Uganda language. Kisoboka Uganda is a Lexington, MA based nonprofit that has had a significant impact on a village in Uganda called Bakka since 2008. Hear from the co-Director of Kisoboka, Sandy Gannon of how she first learned of the issues affecting the village from a visiting pastor from Uganda. Upon hearing of the need, she decided to help by raising funds and collecting clothing for the people of the village. Upon arriving in Bakka, Uganda, Sandy was struck by the lack of running water and no electricity even though Bakka was only 17 miles from Uganda's capital, Kampala.
The children she met on her first trip to Uganda were suffering from malnutrition, had extended stomach due to worms, lice and no clothes. But the joy in their hearts for God touched Sandy and she made a promise to devote the rest of her life to helping these children. Sandy and her team in the United States and Uganda have helped hundreds of children get access to education, helped adults start businesses and has been instrumental in creating 8 bore (water) holes to provide clean water to the village.
