Keep 40 Orphans in School in Aparis Village

Challenge

In Aparis Village, Kumi District, Uganda - a community still healing from Mukura massacres and Teso wars - over 1,000 children are orphaned by HIV, malaria and conflict. Without uniforms, books, or food, they drop out and face child labor or early marriage. Mary (12) walks 5km barefoot to school, sharing one pencil with 3 siblings

Solution

For just 25, we keep one child in school for a full term: - 13 = soap, toothbrush, sanitary pads to stay healthy and dignified - 17 = exercise books, pens, math set - 21 = uniform, sweater and blanket for cold season - 25 = school meals for one term so they can concentrate We work directly with local schools and caregivers - no middleman. 100% community-led

Long-Term Impact

LONG-TERM IMPACT: When a child finishes primary school in Aparis, she is 3x less likely to be married early and 2x more likely to earn income to support her siblings. You are not just buying a book - you are breaking a 20-year cycle of poverty from the war. WHY APARIS CDP? We have served Aparis for 5+ years. Local leader Charles Olupot lives in the village. We publish photos, receipts and reports. Your donation goes to the child you see in our updates. CALL TO ACTION: Donate 21 for one child
