Ugandan school desperate for new nursery latrine
Tax deductible
Any kind of small donation will go so far in the lives of these young girls that deserve a fair chance at a good life!
As many of you know I visited and connected with a school in rural Uganda during my gap year. It was the highlight of my year and their spirit and good nature resonated with me.
I have been blessed with the opportunity to go back to revisit my 'African home' thanks to the charity that supports them - Friends of St. Micheals, Busembatia. Plus I get to share it with my best friends Robyn and Haris! We are so excited to get this opportunity
This year they have an aim to build a new latrine for the nursery class. There are roughly 600 girls at the school, lots of them orphans. The state funding is dismal and the Nuns do what they can to support the school. They essentially rely on the kind hearts of the charity's partners and public donations.
Keeping these girls in education, well-fed and healthy is a priority. The charity has done so much already and this next step is vital. This latrine will provide a more sanitary experience for the young girls in the nursery, some only 2 years old.
Any kind of small donation will go so far in the lives of these young girls that deserve equal chance at a good life!
Whilst we're out there, Robyn and I will be teaching classes and running extracurricular clubs and Haris will be helping in the medical centre.
As a break-down, we need 900£ to put towards the latrine and hopefully 100£ each to help with our Visa and vaccination costs.
It's so easy to donate and if all my friends donate the price of a cup of coffee, the lives of these girls could improve so drastically!
