What if your next journey could change someone else's future?

Travel With Purpose by Julie Thomas

This is my journey of using travel to change lives and create real impact

Imagine waking up every morning without knowing if you'll have enough to eat. Imagine going to school with worn-out clothes, no notebook, no toothbrush, and no bed to sleep in at night.

For many children in East Africa, this isn't imagination. It's everyday life.

Over the coming months, I will be volunteering in schools in Uganda and Tanzania, working alongside teachers and supporting children through education, sports and everyday school life. But I don't want to arrive empty-handed.

For many of these children, daily life means having only the bare minimum. Some don't have school supplies, a toothbrush, a proper mattress, mosquito nets or enough food to thrive.

That's why I'm asking for your support.

Your donation won't disappear into administration or unnecessary overhead. Every contribution is used where it's needed most:

School supplies

Food and nutritious meals, firewood for cooking

Toothbrushes, toothpaste and hygiene products

Clothing and shoes

️ Mattresses and bedding

Mosquito nets

Basic medical supplies

⚽ Sports equipment and toys

This isn't an anonymous charity project. I'll be there in person, working alongside the children and teachers every day.

I'll personally purchase the supplies locally and document the entire journey through photos, videos and regular updates, so you can see exactly how your donation is making a real difference.

I am covering all of my own travel and personal expenses. Every donation is intended to support the children and schools directly.

To keep everything transparent and easy to follow, donations are managed through GoFundMe and my verified PayPal Business account.

I truly believe that education is one of the greatest gifts a child can receive. But children cannot learn when they are hungry, sick, or without the basic necessities of life.

What Your Donation Can Do

Every euro becomes something real.

Examples:

No donation is too small. Whether it's €5, €50 or €500 every contribution helps provide comfort, opportunity and hope

Together, we can help more than 100 children build a brighter future.

Together, we can give children more than supplies:

Together, we can change a child's future.

Thank you for being part of this journey and for believing that even a small act of kindness can create a lifetime of impact.

Travel with purpose means turning a journey into hope. Together, we can make that happen.
