Meet Bruce! He is 15-years-old and a primary 7 student at Kutamba.

He has 2 siblings and hails from a village called Rugazi.

YOU provide him with opportunity to fulfill all of his dreams. When he grows up he wants to be a Doctor so he can save lives just as YOU have saved his! Bruce is a very hands-on and caring child. After school he loves to take the animals out for grazing and watches over them carefully.

But don’t worry! He has his fun too! In his free time, Bruce loves to play soccer with his friends!

YOU inspire and help to provide for him in every way you can. YOU give him books, meals, clean water, school supplies, an education and so much more! Bruce is most thankful to YOU about providing him with free education. In fact, he plans on earning top grades this year, because he really wants you to be proud of him!

So, meet future Doctor, Bruce! He is going to save lives one day.

YOU are changing the lives of children like Tedius.

After his father passed away from HIV/AIDS, his mother could not afford to send Tedius to school. For so many children in Uganda, this is the beginning of a very sad story. Without YOU, Tedius’ story would be just like many of them. He would be tending the herd in the fields or fetching firewood.

But YOU saved Tedius' life.

Because of YOU he is a student at Kutamba Primary School with big dreams of becoming a pilot when he grows up.

YOU have put children like Tedius where they belong…in school.

In Tedius’ words, “Thank you for loving me.”

YOUR children love you and they are so grateful for everything YOU have done for them.

I am amazed by YOU!

Look at everything YOU did in 2013!

Join us in congratulating Nyaka’s class of 2013! 78 students graduated from primary or secondary school. Thanks to YOUR hard work and donations this was possible!

YOU began the creation of a the new Nyaka Secondary and Vocational School. This will provide a learning environment for students for generations to come and employment for the local community.

YOU provided healthcare, helping students get the medicines and vaccinations that they need to stay healthy. YOU immunized 36 girls in P.4 and P.5 against HPV. YOU also helped bring a dental camp to the Nyaka schools and villages, where the Doctors attended to over 500 patients.

And on top of all of this, YOU continue to provide full-time education for over 650 students at the primary and secondary level!

YOU are changing lives so they can change their community! Keep up the amazing work. The students and grannies send tons and tons of love.

YOUR $10 will provide school supplies for a student entering secondary school. And with this doubling, it will provide two students with supplies! Over the course of a year YOU will have provided twenty-four secondary school students! Imagine that!

Hear ye! Hear ye!
This is important for all to see!
From now ‘till years end,
Exists this awesome trend:
Make a recurring donation, and magically, before your eyes,
Watch it double! By an anonymous donor so nice. 
Your $10 a month will become twenty!
And you’ll be providing plenty!

Recently YOU built an amazing resource: The Blue Lupin Library! Look at how much the students are enjoying and how much they are learning from YOUR creation!

You may never meet the students and grannies whom you've supported and loved from a far, but please know they love you and are grateful for you!

So, give a little and have double the impact! And see how many lives YOU change then!

YOU can make the difference for students like John .

John  was the last child born into a family whose future was devastated by HIV/AIDS.  After their father died, none of the five children did had hope of going to school. In fact, the oldest three children never had the chance to go to school. There just wasn’t enough money to send them.

YOU can change the outcome for John and his sister!

Tuesday, December 3rd is a special bonus day.

Starting at 12:00pm until the funds are gone, every penny you donate between $10.00 and $1,000.00 will be matched by Microsoft!

This is a great opportunity for your donation to go twice as far!

Because of donors like YOU, when the Kutamba Primary School was opened, John  and his older sister Agatha were given an opportunity they never dreamed of before.

John  described it in his own words “they were giving us everything like food, uniform from shoes to sweaters, tooth paste with toothbrush and sometimes casual wear which at first was a dream.”

Because of YOUR generosity, John  is working to be a doctor! 

Because of YOU, your students have something to be grateful for this holiday season.  

YOU have provided the uniform, meals, medicine, and supplies for school.

Every donation brings us one step closer to ending poverty for orphaned children in Uganda so please give and give generously!
