You know the excitement late Summer when it’s time to shop for school supplies? A new back pack and lunch box, reams of paper, pens, pencils. It’s so much fun! Now imagine the children across the world for whom owning a pen is a huge deal. Or for whom buying a mosquito net means there’s no food for the next day or two. Although Ugandan children from the villages are bright, willing, and earnest – if their families cannot afford these basics, there is no education. Therefore, there is no future beyond impoverishment.
"Don’t let that happen."
Here’s a list of the simplest necessities that help our children attend school.

Please note: the cost of shipping items to Uganda is exorbitant – and it takes forever to get here. What you spend on postage is better spent directly on our children’s needs. Therefore, we ask if you have a specific item that you’d like to donate, please send us the funds, tell us what you’d like to donate and we’ll support the local economy by buying it here for you.
A playground. The playgroud at Hopeland Kitoola Junior School has no swings, a rusted, dangerous slide and no merry-go-round. With 500 energetic children….a playground would be a wonderful and deeply appreciated gift.
