Hello friends, my name is Ava Zigmand and I am organizing this fundraiser alongside my friend Enock Kuteesa, who I recently connected with over social media. Enock lives in Mityana, Uganda, in the village of Buswabolongo. Since becoming an orphan himself after losing his family members to COVID-19, 24-year-old Enock has taken it upon himself to look after and financially support 18 children without families of their own. All of them currently reside in a one-room space that Enock rents out monthly. This space measures approximately 200 sq feet.

Enock is one man, working on a farm to provide for these children. There are many costs associated with daily life necessities, most importantly, food and medical bills. We are using this platform to fundraise enough money so that Enock can purchase land and materials to work towards building a structure large enough to house all of the children and possibly more in the future. This way, shelter will no longer be a monthly bill, and going forward, all earnings can go directly towards nourishing their health and well-being.

Your support will allow us to 1. purchase a plot of land. 2. coordinate efforts towards building a shelter large enough to house everyone.

I have met Enock and the children and can attest that they are beautiful people, full of love who deserve to live a dignified life. Enock has dedicated his life to these children. Let’s work together to achieve this goal for them! If you cannot donate, I ask that you think of one place to share/post this fundraiser so that the message spreads to those who may have compassion for this cause. I will post updates along the way, Enock extends his gratitude to every person who donates/spreads the word. Thank you so much!
