A MESSAGE FROM UGANDA

A Journey Beyond the Pages: The Kabubu KDP Writers’ Trip to Kenya

The Kabubu KDP trip to Kenya will be much more than a journey; it will be a celebration of young voices, creativity, and the incredible possibilities that begin when a young person dares to put their thoughts into words.

Following the book launch, this special trip will give our young writers an opportunity to step beyond the pages of their books and experience the wider world of writing. They will meet and connect with fellow young writers, exchange ideas, share experiences, and discover that their stories are part of a much bigger and more inspiring community.

This journey is about growth, exposure, and connection. It will open new horizons for the young writers, allowing them to learn from others, gain fresh perspectives, and experience the richness of knowledge sharing. Through conversations, interactions, and shared experiences, they will be reminded that writing is not a solitary journey; it is a powerful bridge that connects people, cultures, dreams, and possibilities.

For these young writers, Kenya will offer more than a destination. It will become a classroom without walls—a place where curiosity is encouraged, confidence is strengthened, friendships are formed, and dreams are given room to grow.

Most importantly, this trip is an investment in the future of young storytellers. It is an opportunity to tell them that their voices matter, their ideas are valuable, and the stories they carry within them deserve to be heard.

The journey may begin with a trip to Kenya, but its greatest destination is a future filled with confidence, creativity, knowledge, and endless possibilities.

The Wondrous Love of Jesus

Have you ever wondered how much Jesus really loves you?

The Wondrous Love of Jesus shares simple Bible stories and easy lessons that show how close Jesus is to children everywhere.

From Jairus’ daughter to Samson, and from singing in church to learning about friendship at home, children discover Jesus as their best Friend—One who forgives, stays with them and gives them joy.

With short prayers, memory verses and discussion questions, readers learn that God listens when they pray and that kindness and honesty make life beautiful.

Enara the Funny Girl

Meet Enara, the girl who can turn any adventure into laughter!

Enara is curious, talkative and just a little bit funny. When she visits Entebbe Zoo in Uganda, she comes face-to-face with a roaring lion, spots suspicious people who look like poachers and asks the game ranger a million questions about animals and ivory.

But the biggest surprise comes when Enara forgets her school bag at the zoo and learns, through tears, laughter and a kind adult’s help, that curiosity is a gift from God—and wisdom means thinking before you act.

This warm, faith-friendly story invites children to laugh, learn and grow in courage, responsibility and the wisdom of asking good questions the right way.

The Promise That Came True

Discover how God keeps His promises through every generation.

Long ago, God chose Abraham to be the father of a special people—the Israelites. From Sarah’s laughter at the promise of a baby, to Hagar and Ishmael’s rescue in the desert, to Isaac finding his wife Rebecca, this story is full of surprises, faith and lessons for life.

Young readers also meet Jacob and Esau, twins whose story reminds us why jealousy is dangerous and why trusting God is always best.

This simple retelling makes the Bible’s big story easy to understand and shows children that God always keeps His promises.

The Man Who Followed God’s Voice

Discover Abraham’s amazing journey of faith, courage and obedience.

Long ago, Abraham lived in a world full of people who prayed to many gods. But Abraham began to think about the one true God who made the sun, moon, stars and everything on earth.

This story follows his journey with Sarah, Terah and Lot—from Ur to Haran, on to Canaan and even into Egypt during a time of famine. Along the way, children see how God protected Abraham and Sarah and taught Abraham to trust Him even when he did not know where the road would lead.

Years later, Sarah gave birth to Isaac, showing again that God’s Word is true. It is a story of faith, courage and learning to hear and obey God’s voice.

Amillia’s Big Dream

A moving story of endurance, family and faith against all odds.

Amillia’s life was marked by poverty, pain and loss—but also by unshakable faith in God. From walking barefoot to school and repeatedly being sent home for lack of fees, to losing her father at a tender age, her journey often seemed impossible.

Yet her love for learning and trust in God carried her through. With perseverance and divine favour, she earned a scholarship, studied hard and eventually became a doctor in America.

Even after success, Amillia’s family continued to face difficult seasons. Through every trial, however, there remained hope and evidence of God’s faithfulness.

Amillia’s Big Dream reminds young readers that no matter where they begin, perseverance and trust in God can carry them through seemingly impossible circumstances.

Bananas, Sheep, and the Famine Warning

Wisdom is better than waiting.

Dembe is 12 and lives on a Ugandan farm with lots of sheep and sweet bananas. When a prophet warns that a dry season is coming, the whole village starts preparing—except Dembe’s family.

Dembe decides to listen. He digs, plants and tries his best, even when grown-ups laugh.

But when the rains stop and hunger comes, Dembe must help his family learn a big lesson: wisdom is better than waiting.

This is a fun and thoughtful African adventure about listening, preparing and being brave even when you are still a child.

Brave Hearts at the Orphanage

Brave hearts grow by speaking up, telling the truth and asking for help.

Emillia and Monica live in an orphanage filled with laughter, chores and lessons for life. But when Emillia becomes jealous of Monica—who is kind, prayerful and loved—she makes a dangerous choice that leads her into trouble.

As God sends help and brings Emillia safely home, the girls learn that brave hearts do not grow by hiding feelings or keeping unsafe secrets. They grow by speaking up, telling the truth and asking for help.

Later, when they grow up and return to serve as doctors at the orphanage, they face another challenge when Maria, Monica’s daughter, is taken near the gate despite a warning to watch out for strangers.

This tender, child-friendly story explores jealousy, safety, courage, healing and new beginnings. With simple “What Did We Learn?”, “Let’s Talk,” and “Prayer” moments, families can read, reflect and grow brave together.

The Orphans’ Guardian

No one is beyond the reach of God’s mercy.

Kimberly was feared in his village. He hated the name of God and swore to silence anyone who preached the Gospel. Preachers were kidnapped, tortured and killed at his command. His heart had been hardened by power, greed and witchcraft.

But when tragedy struck his own family and everything he trusted crumbled, Kimberly found himself face to face with the God he had long rejected. Broken and desperate, he cried out for forgiveness—and God answered.

From murderer to messenger, from oppressor to protector, Kimberly’s life is transformed by grace. Called to preach the very Gospel he once fought against, he becomes a guardian of orphans and a voice of hope in his village.

The Orphans’ Guardian is a powerful story of judgment, forgiveness and the unstoppable power of the Gospel, reminding readers that no one is beyond the reach of God’s mercy.
