Girls Orphanage Uganda 100% FUNDED

Donation protected
In rural Uganda, 13% of all children are orphans. Their parents died of AIDS, civil war, disease, or accidents.

Pictured above are Kabugho Alice (her Mother died in a fire) and Ithungu Macline (her Father died of Typoid).

We're building a Girls Orphanage - for 24 girls - in the tiny village of Buhanga (pop. 1,000) - it is high in the Ruwenzori Mountains and can only be accessed by trail.

Orphans are often denied education because no one pays their tuition. 70% are forced into crime; 37% get AIDS, 70% of girl orphans become prostitutes.

Education is the way out.

Children in our Buhanga Girls Humanist Orphanage will be allowed to attend the adjacent Mother Girls Humanist School.
