There are currently 40 children living in the orphanage who would have no chance without outside support. They are entirely dependent on donations. The daily cost of food alone amounts to around 35 US dollars. On some days, the cost of food is already too high, meaning the children have to go to bed hungry.

But it is not just food that the children lack; they also need an education. These 40 orphans have just as much right to a school education as any other child, yet school supplies and school fees are often beyond the budget. Recently, the orphanage was also defrauded on a donation platform, meaning that urgently needed donations failed to materialise.

To improve their situation in the long term, the plan is now to purchase a plot of land on which they can grow their own food. Furthermore, a well is urgently needed, as the older children currently have to walk kilometres every day to fetch water. These journeys in Uganda are arduous, dangerous and rob them of valuable time that they need for school and their childhood.

The donations collected so far have enabled the opening of a small shop, which is intended to generate additional income. However, this also incurs running costs such as electricity and the purchase of goods for sale.

Every contribution, whether large or small, directly helps to provide these children with safety, education and a future. Especially in the current emergency, every bit of support is invaluable. Please help by making a donation so that the orphanage can continue to operate and the children can have the chance of a safe and healthy life.
