Help Us Cover School Costs for 60 Children in Uganda
This Giving Tuesday, we are asking for your help.
The children in our sponsorship program come from some of the poorest families in Eastern Uganda. Many are raised by single teenage mothers or elderly grandmothers caring for several orphaned grandchildren. Most families struggle with hunger and unstable income.
For these children, school is often the only steady and safe place they have. But a child cannot attend without a uniform, books, and basic supplies.
This year, school costs in Uganda have risen sharply. Uniforms, textbooks, and supplies now cost more. We do not want to increase the cost of sponsorship, so we are asking for help to cover the gap.
We have a $2,500 shortfall before the new school year begins.
Your Giving Tuesday gift will provide:
• Textbooks and exercise books
• School uniforms
• Pens, pencils, and basic supplies
• School bags and shoes for the most vulnerable children
Your support keeps a child in school.
It protects their education and strengthens their future.
Thank you for helping us close this gap and send every child to school prepared and confident
