Camino de Santiago for Uganda Orphans
My name is Peacharoo, and I'm walking the Camino de Santiago from Valencia (1200km +) in aid of Ugandan Orphans in rural Kabale.
Together with local project BHHNP, we will raise €70,000 to buy a school, and pay for the education of 163 orphans who otherwise would miss the vital opportunity to learn and grow. All these kids have lost their parents to disease, some live with relatives, some live wild, all are in need of love and education.
€52,573 (220,000,000 UGX Uganda Shillings) will buy the school with 7 classrooms and much outdoor space,
€13,478 (56,400,000UGX) will pay for the first 12 months of staffing costs (1x Head teacher, 1x deputy, 11x Teachers, 2x kitchen, 2x security, 1x social worker, 1x cleaner),
€1863 (7,800,000UGX) will pay rent for accommodation for ALL the teachers
Remaining €2000 for running costs of the school, food, study materials, etc... The more money we raise, the bigger difference we will make not just to these kids and staff, but for the whole region for years to come...
PLEASE DIG DEEP!
I am walking the Camino alone, and self funded as both a personal challenge and an inert desire to help the kids. I have sold all my belongings to fund the adventure, which starts Friday 8 October...
We all would be eternally grateful for any size donation to make this incredible dream a reality, not just for the immediate beneficiaries, but the entire community with a multitude of positive knock on effects in the years to come.
We welcome sponsors too, and donations of school products will also be gratefully received x
