By Sharon Crary | Executive Director, Social Promise
Dear Donor,
With your help our project was fully funded! Thank you so much for your belief in Social Promise and St. Jude Children's Home in Uganda. Over the course of the two years that this project has been active on GlobalGiving, you have donated more than $10,000!
As a result of your donation, teenage girls are attending secondary school year after year, others have attended vocational and professional schools, and children with severe disabilities finally have wheelchairs and newfound mobility.
Every year when a member of the Social Promise Board visits are nonprofit partners in Uganda we are newly impressed with their staff, facilities, and innovative ways of helping their communities. All the wonderful progress that has been made at St. Jude Children's Home in recent years - the new small family homes, the updates to Consolation Home, the ability to keep accepting orphaned babies - is a direct result of your donations. Thank you.
Although we could always accept more donations to this ongoing project to support education, housing, and nutrition for the children at St. Jude's, we have supplied their Consolation Home branch with all the wheelchairs they currently need so we are closing down this project. Thank you for allowing these goals to be met!
As we always tell you, the close relationship between Social Promise and St. Jude Children’s Home allows us to confidently assure you that the investments you have made in the future of children in northern Uganda will have great yield. You are literally saving lives. Orphaned babies are being housed, fed, clothed, and cared for. Children are being given an education and thus a chance at future employment so they can one day provide food, housing and an education for others. Wheelchairs are absolutely transforming the lives of people with paralysis. Mothers are giving birth in safety. Children are receiving immunizations.
Thank you in advance both for sharing the stories of our amazing partners with your friends and for continuing to support their life saving work with your donation. As always, if you have any questions at all about Social Promise, our partners, or Uganda, please contact me or read more about our work on our website www.socialpromsie.org .
Take care,
Sharon
