Housing for Mbarara Orphans

My name is Michelle Hendrickson and I live in Southern California, I am partnering with my friend Keneth to raise funds for his orphanage in Uganda, Kenneth and I met on Facebook last summer and I have been blessed to support him and the kids in his orphange as I can, he is asking for support so that he is able to purchase 2 and a half Acres of land to build permanent housing for the kids as they are currently renting a space to keep them all. Keneth runs this orphanage in a very under developed area, funds are very limited and he depends on support from donors to clothe, feed and care for the children he brings in. We are raising funds for him to be able to purchase the land ($3,000 in total) and funds to help sustain their daily needs. Any amount will be a blessing for them, nothing is too small and every amount will help them reach their goal! *UPDATE* As the money comes in, I am able to send it to Keneth via "World Remit" as of today (2/23/18) he has already been able to make the initial down payment on the land to secure it and he now has 2 payments left of $1,000 each to pay for the land in full. Once he does, we will likely be able to start a new campaign to gather the funds for him to begin building! **Update** (7/9/18) We have reached and exceeses our original goal of $5,000 and have set our new goal at $10,000! Keneth and the kids have now purchased the land and built a permanent bathroom, we now focus on building the permanent housing for the kids! Thank you for your continued support, these funds not only are helping these kids have a safe and permanent place to live but also help to fill in the gaps when they are in need of food and school supplies as well! Here is what Keneth has to share: "My name is BEINOMUGISHA KENETH,director of Mbarara Children's Orphanage Centre in Uganda Africa, Which comprises of HIV/AIDS affected, Vulnerable street and Orphaned children, I am living with 43 kids, but in a place where we are renting, It's ever so difficult to pay rent and even to do developmental activities at this place, We are hoping to buy a land where we can do our future developmental activities like building permanent home for kids, building a school and even growing some crops for sustainability, please consider Helping Support us by donating so we can raise the money needed for this land"
