Sozo’s mission is to “glorify God by interceding on Christ’s behalf to save children in need, build community, and connect individuals to all experience the love of Jesus Christ.”

Their goal was created through an immediate need to provide a safe shelter for the homeless children of Kampala, Uganda. Their objective is to provide food and shelter for these children, while also providing funding through individual, community and church donations.

Kristi Megahee, a senior at Auburn University, found a deep interest in this organization and connected with it immediately.

“After graduating in May, I plan on moving to Uganda to live there for a year and work in an orphanage there,” Megahee said. “Also while I am there, I’ll be teaching English in schools and having Bible Studies with the orphans.”

“Sozo International is a somewhat new program that is based out of Birmingham, Alabama,” Megahee said. “Right now, we are in the process of opening orphanages in Montana, Costa Rica, Uganda, Haiti, Kenya and Papua New Guinea.”

Sozo is actually a Greek word that means “to save, to keep safe and sound, and to rescue from destruction.” This is exactly what Sozo Children International aims to do. They strive to provide for orphans in different parts of the world so that they can live in a Christian environment with people of their own culture.

Megahee will be an intern and representative for Sozo Children International in Uganda for the entire year. She is currently in the process of raising money so that she can travel to and from Uganda with no worries.

Megahee has expressed that she knows she is meant to go to Uganda and make a difference in these children’s lives. She is excited to spread God’s word and share His love in the orphanages, and she cannot wait to bring back her memories that will take place in Uganda.

“I want to be someone for those children who can spread God’s word to them and provide for them,” Megahee said.

She is also currently in the process of trying to find a used MacBook computer to take with her to Uganda. Considering that she will be gone for an entire year, the only way Megahee will have communication with her family is through Skype.

Any and all donations are appreciated and will be put toward a good cause. Megahee’s email address is .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address). If anyone is interested in contributing to this cause, or has any questions or comments, she would love to hear from you!
