ABOUT WORLDWIDE ENDEAVORS
As of 2024, we are assisting projects in 6 countries: Uganda Ghana, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Congo and Venezuela.
WWE supports schools in Ghana (Rise up Kubugu), Venezuela and Zimbabwe (Mwana Trust).
In Botswana we support a Women’s project and in Uganda, the Abedunego Memorial Women and Children Hospital Mityana Limited in Mityana, Uganda.
It was added to our projects in 2020 and the first building has been completed and awaiting final approval from the local government. Our President is in Uganda to get final approval at this moment, December 26, 2024.
There is no debt on the building. However, we are asking for additional funding for staff, training, medical supplies, shipments and equipment.
Venezuela was added in 2018 and supports a foundation. It provides education for 40 children and in some cases assists the families of those children.
Our newest project is in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and is titled “Earth Keepers Community”. It will provide much needed agricultural projects, river transportation, fish and jobs to a very needy part of the Congo.
