Every Dollar Changes Lives!
Our Primary Mission
Supporting the School with Books, Supplies and Teaching
Aids
Emergency
Remote Learning Supplies for
The Children of the village of Buyijja in Rural
Uganda
 Covid
-19 has had a devastating outcome for the Buyijja Village
School we support in Rural Uganda. After almost six
years of amazing progress, through the help of our donors,
all schools in Uganda have been shut down. The solution
by the Ugandan leadership has been to provide radios
or television sets to villages in order to do remote
learning for students.
As the rural villages like Buyijja, are without electricity,
this is untenable, leaving hundreds of students without
school options. Reports of child slavery, early forced
marriages, as well as health and food shortages are
rampant.
Our project manager has implemented an emergency option
to get teaching materials to the students by way of
individual in-person distribution, to do our best to
keep hope alive. The cost of these "Holiday Packages"
along with writing tools is substantial, and is at best
a "stop gap" until conditions for the village improve,
and the government allows the schools to reopen.
Every dollar of your donation will go to this end.
It is only through your generosity that we can keep
our message of "Hope and Love" for the future of these
children alive.

Why
we use GoFundMe
 While
it is true that GoFundMe takes a small percentage of
each donation for proceessing fees, we have found them
to be the most effective way to collect and convert
currency from disparate locations across the world.
They convert, and make the funds available easily, allowing
donors to use their choice of credit or debit cards.
