Machias charity prepares to open Ugandan orphanage

by Sarah Craighead Dedmon

A charity formed by the faith of one Machias woman has fed dozens of Ugandan street orphans every night for the past eight years. In that time Little Hands of Hope has also provided those orphans with medical care, clothing, vocational training, constructed wells to provide the community with clean drinking water, and built a brand new orphanage, too.

Now founder and Director Kristen Johnson says years of working with local government regulations have led to her happiest announcement yet.
