Dear Supporters, Friends and Partners,
We extend our warm greetings and deep appreciation for your continued interest in and support of our project titled "Give 50 Wheelchairs to Disabled People in Kamuli." This initiative was designed with the vision of restoring dignity, mobility and independence to 50 individuals with disabilities across rural communities in Kamuli District, Uganda.
Current Progress
As of now, the project is in the fundraising phase. While we have not yet raised the necessary funds to begin full implementation, we remain committed to the mission and continue to raise awareness about the critical need for mobility support in our community.
Here are some of the steps we have taken so far:
Community Mobilization: We have identified and verified the initial list of beneficiaries who are in dire need of wheelchairs. These individuals include children, youth and elderly people living with physical disabilities and without any assistive devices.
Local Partnerships: We have begun discussions with local health centers, community leaders and disability advocacy groups to strengthen collaboration and ensure that implementation will be smooth and inclusive once funds are available.
Vendor Research: Aim Born Champions Children Africa (ABCCA) is currently engaging with local and regional wheelchair suppliers to identify durable and affordable options that are suitable for our rural environment.
Awareness and Fundraising Efforts: We continue to share this project on social media among other options in hopes of attracting compassionate donors who can help us meet our goal.
Challenges
The main challenge we face is the lack of sufficient funds to begin procurement and distribution of the wheelchairs. We want to ensure quality and sustainability in what we provide to our beneficiaries.
Next Steps
Intensify fundraising campaigns both locally and internationally.
Engage community-based volunteers and ambassadors to promote the cause.
Apply for grants and reach out to organizations that support disability inclusion.
Once 30% of the funds are raised, we plan to start with a pilot phase of delivering wheelchairs to the most vulnerable beneficiaries while continuing to raise funds for the full target.
Call to Action
We kindly ask for your continued support. A small donation goes a long way in transforming the life of someone who has been immobile for years. Please consider sharing our project within your networks, or sponsoring a wheelchair for someone in need.
Together, we can bring mobility, dignity and hope to the disabled in Kamuli.
With gratitude,
Kibwiika Joseph
