Kids have many needs

 May 27, 2014 1:26pm

The kids in Uganda deal with so much like what I have written out below.
Several stories pop out like the girl who
told me she can't always take both sugar and soap
to boarding school so she takes just soap as she has to have it to wash her clothes.
Even if school fees are covered kids still have so many needs. School shoes are a big one
because of all the walking most do in
muddy slippery conditions the shoes wear out fast.  $15-$20 is beyond what most families can afford to pay for shoes when a typical wage is $1-$2 a day.    Plus some kids feet grow fast
but many are still wearing the same size clothes 3 yrs later.
To grow only 3-4 inches in 3 yrs isn't much.


They can wear clothes for a long time but shoes have to be replaced a lot. 
Some children wear old torn clothing that is very dirty. 
If anyone can help by buying some soap and other things for kids without sponsors that would be great. 
Some kids beg to find sponsors to attend highschool but its very expensive and most parents can't pay any fee so the child quits school after grade 7.  I've listed some items the kids need most. Any amount given
will help out our un-
sponsored kids greatly.

Highschool fees paid 3 times per year .  $110 a term (3 terms/yr )

Soap $2.50 per child

Sugar $2 per child

School shoes $15 ages 3-8         & $20 ages 9-17

Salt and cooking oil $3 per child

Notebooks $3 per child

School socks  $3 per child

We've raised $30 far. For some reason it does not show up on Chip in. Maybe because some people click donate instead of Chip in. So that's $30 of around $550 that I'd to raise. The kids need a few more mattresses and shoes etc. The also need more nutrious food. Sept 13, 1022pm These are some of the kids from the Home. Hope you enjoy the video.

NEW SHOES!!! March 17,2010 2:13pm Here's the kids with their new school shoes! Thanks to all who gave so the kids could have shoes! They still need help paying their rent and to buy chickens to raise. So if you can donate again it would be wonderful!!! You can see in the photos that your money is ALWAYS used exactly as specified!!! URGENT UPDATE 3-13-10 9:50 am The Orphanage is needing help paying their rent. They have to move to a new house since the one they are in now has been bought by somone and they are being forced to move within a week. All the kids are crying and worrying about where they will go since they don't have $100 (monthly) to rent a new house. Some of the kids wouldn't eat because they were too sad yesterday. Won't you donate and help the kids move to their new house? If they don't have the money by next week they will just be on the street with no place to go. They Need Your Help Now More than EVER! They are praying for somone to Help! Donate...

...................URGENT 8 kids can't go to school if they have no fees!

This is Urgent!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The kids need fees by May 25th to go to school. 6 kids have fees already so that leaves 8 without fees. I soon hope to be selling Ugandan necklaces to benefit these kids also. Won't you consider buying an African craft or pay a child's school fees? It's only $15 a year! 8 kids will not attend school if they no fees and these kids all live together in the Orphanage, they are like brothers and sisters and if some kids attend school while the others can't it would sad. So consider making a donation for the kids even if it's only $1 or $5 they will be SO HAPPY! THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE DONATED SO FAR!!!
