Hi everyone,
We are setting up a go fund me page to try and raise money to finish a building in an orphanage in Uganda we were working in.  The orphanage is called Entebbe Road Primary School and is home to 150 underprivileged orphans from the ages of 3 to 12 years old.
 
After each one of us bonded and fell in love with these bright, bubbly children we want to do everything we can to help them. Funds are really low in the school and it's barely surviving. Food and clean water are a struggle and the children are sleeping on hard, cold floors.  These kids are trekking up a mountain to get dirty water, they are weak, barely clothed and suffering from malnourishment.

UVF is the organization we were working with and have done everything in their ability to help these children survive.  They are a young, small organization having only begun in 2013. They have begun farming projects, making and selling jewelry, and fundraising both locally and through facebook but they need all the help they can get.  That is why we would like to help them tackle one area and give these kids a place to sleep at night.

Both founder and father of the school Samuel and his loving wife Sarah have opened their doors to any child in need. Due to this, the school's numbers have grown rapidly in recent years and space is in shortage. I have uploaded photos of the two dormitories the children now have. The boys' dormitory holds roughly 10 bunk beds sleeping 70 boys, while the girls' dorm holds 12 beds, sleeping 80 girls.  Five children are sharing a bed and the rest are sleeping on floors night after night. 
There is also a photo of the new dormitory that
UVF have started building. They do not have sufficient funds to buy bricks, roofing and servicing to finish it.  We are looking to raise 10,000 Euro to finish this building and give these children enough space to get a good nights sleep as fast as possible. This dormitory is only a small step but will help to give these children a chance at a better life. Please donate any bit you can and it will go toward giving these kids a bed, blanket, and a roof over their head like every child deserves.  All it takes is click 'Donate now', enter your details and choose however much you would like to donate. Thank you all for taking the time read this and feel free to visit UVF's page on facebook to see more photos and information about this school and the kids.  UVF are always looking for volunteers and any help given. They couldn't have been more friendly or have given us a better time so we would be more than happy to answer any questions
