Diego joins 22STARS in Uganda

Hi friends, I have the honour to participate at the social workation of 22STARS in Uganda . I will be spending two weeks in Kampala and one week in Jinja. Every week I will attend two mastermind sessions according to the FLAKS model to which Ugandan entrepreneurs and start-ups are invited for free.  Also, twice a week I will visit the 22STARS projects in the field, which exist of visiting the women in the slum area who are making jewellery and the children who are sponsored to go to school.

22STARS supports now more than 60 children with school fees. In order to make an even bigger impact I would like to collect money, so that I can help in the distribution of food, medicine and clothes. In addition, I would like to help small businesses to start by helping them financing their first stock and I would like to buy several computers for the children. Please help me out with a small contribution! Also, if you would like to sponsor a child long-term, don’t hesitate to get in contact with me!

Why do the children in Uganda need your support?

Twenty years of civil war took a heavy toll on children. The parents from our kids fled during the war with the LRA and Joseph Kony from Northern Uganda to Kampala to seek refuge. They ended up living in the Acholi Quarter; a slum area centered around several stone quarries. Even kids as young as 3 years old are crashing stones to earn money for food. Although there is peace now in Uganda, the battle against poverty in the Acholi Quarters continues. The parents of most of our kids are illiterate, traumatized, HIV positive, became pregnant at a very young age, and have to care for a large family. Many of the kids lost one of their parents or even both and are taken care of by an aunt or uncle. We want a better future for those children and their communities and for that they need education. Once they are doctors, engineers, teachers and so forth they will also be able to give back to their community.
