A generous donor has pledged to match the next $40,000 to help us build a school in rural northern Uganda

That means every dollar you give will be doubled - and together, we’ll bring lasting education, hope, and opportunity to one of the most underserved regions in the world.

Why This School Matters

In the small village, located in Uganda’s post-war Omoro District, there are children with big dreams and no safe, consistent place to learn. Many walk long distances to overcrowded schools or simply stay home. Without access to education, these children face a cycle of poverty that is hard to break.

We’re working with our trusted local partner, Simon Wilobo, and the Youth Development Organization (YDO), to change that.

Together, we’re building the Hope Covenant Nursery and Primary School - a place where up to 250 children will ultimately be able to learn and grow. The school will provide a safe learning environment, food, clean water, trained teachers, and a chance to build a brighter future.

Where the Money Goes

Your donation (matched dollar-for-dollar) will help fund:

• Classroom construction

• ️ Dormitories for girls and boys

• Latrines and water access

• Desks, chalkboards, and teaching materials

• ‍ Staff hiring and basic salaries

• ️ Local labor and oversight from our Ugandan team

We’ve kept our budget lean, using locally sourced materials and community-based labor to ensure sustainability and dignity every step of the way.

✨ What’s Different About Be A Number?

We don’t believe in charity that creates dependency.

We believe in relationship, dignity, and community leadership. Every child in our network is known by name, and every dollar raised supports locally led solutions that are sustainable, practical, and deeply rooted in love.

This isn’t just about building a building.

It’s about telling a different story - one where communities rise, children flourish, and the world gets a little more connected.

Ever,
