You are a warrior in the battle against poverty.
Your weapon?
614 pencils in the hands of 614 little girls at Nyaka & Kutamba Primary School.
Why?
Because you know the only way to successfully combat poverty is with an education.
You are one smart cookie.
Unfortunately, getting an education in Uganda is not free. If a child cannot afford a uniform, tuition or school supplies, classroom doors are often slammed in their face.
And if a child is female, she has even less opportunities available to her simply because she is a girl.
You are stepping in and empowering a community of girls.
You are equipping them with pencils that they will raise to fight poverty. Thank you!
614 students of Nyaka & Kutamba Primary School are sitting for their first term exams and each child has a pencil in their hand because of YOU.
Each child is healthy because you provide them all with access to clean water and plates heavy with nutritious food daily. Each girl is healthy because you also provide them with support when they transition from small girls to young women.
You are winning this battle and poverty is running scared.
It costs $.02 to purchase a pencil in Uganda, yet this small expense prevents girls from going to school every day.
Are you going to let poverty stand in your way?
We didn’t think so.
GlobalGiving is giving away $5 for every tribute card purchased by May 12, while funds last.
Act fast - time is running out!
This Mother's Day, honor someone who fought for your future by purchasing pencils that change the world.
You have the power continue to lead the attack of the pencils for girls in rural Uganda.
We salute you!

In 2012, you built 28 homes, 88 kitchens, and 88 pit-latrines for Nyaka grannies and their grandchildren.
You are raising roofs in rural Uganda!
Because of you, grandmothers like Edvinah have safe homes where they can raise their grandchildren.
Edvinah lovingly raised 13 of her own children and then eight of them passed away leaving behind three young grandchildren - orphaned, alone, and destitute.
Although she lived in abject poverty, Edvinah decided to welcome her grandchildren into her home.
Displeased with her decision, her husband began to physically abuse 68-year-old Edvinah. She was forced to flee for their safety with no source of income or support.
They were forced to live in a windowless leaking shack.
Can you imagine a grandmother and her grandchildren living in such poverty? Neither could we.
Today, you are Edvinah's shelter.
You are rebuilding a community one grandmother at a time.
Today Edvinah and her three grandchildren live in the safe and secure home that you built for them.
“I am the happiest Mukaaka in the whole community. I pray that you continue with the same spirit - helping needy people like me.” ~ Mukaaka Edvinah
Edvinah is only one of 6,500 grandmothers supported by the Nyaka Grandmother Program you generously support.
Help us raise 25 new roofs in honor of Edvinah's courage, love and determination this Mother's Day.

Unfortunately, getting an education in Uganda is not free. If a child cannot afford a uniform, tuition or school supplies, classroom doors are often slammed in their face.

You are stepping in and bringing hope to an entire community. Thank you!
