BRINGING UGANDA CLOSER TO SWEDEN!!


Like they say, DREAMS COME TRUE!

When we first discussed the idea of a trip to Sweden, it sounded like a far fetched dream. Well, it has been fulfilled!
It has been a slow but steady journey since 2014 when the first sponsors begun to support vulnerable children through our sponsorship program. Slow partly because of little contact between us on the ground and potential donors. This gap needed to be bridged.

Furthermore, we have been having peaple in Sweden sponsoring children even when theyve not met them or any of our staff. A closer interaction with us was necessary for them to get a feel of whats happening on the ground.

Its for the above reasons that a trip was arranged with an aim of increasing our capacity to reach more children and their families in the community. Only 29 families are fully sponsored. We have registered 60 children that are just as vulnerable and need sponsors, our goal is 100 sponsored children by December 2020

The trip was succesfull, thanks to our coordinators, Linn Hultin and Linnea Larsson, together with all those who hosted me in their homes.

Our campaign right now is to raise 24000 SEK (2400 USD) by the first week of November 2019.

10,000Kr for a potato growing project for the sustainability of the project and 14,000 Kr for a rain water harvesting tank.

Other needs of the organisation in the short term include:

1- Play items for children..................1,000 Kr
2- A printer....................................... 2,500 Kr
3- Office furniture.............................3,000 Kr
4- Motor cycle for field visits...........15,000 Kr

TOTAL...............................................21,500 Kr
