I feel about as excited as Neema is in this photo, because a regular donor has offered an amazing matching grant opportunity:
They will match all donations dollar for dollar up to $3,000 — AND, if we meet or exceed $3,000, they will donate another $1,000!
That means that your donation is at least doubled, and maybe even more! Since 100% goes to the program… well, it’s hard to make a much better investment than that!
The match runs from today, December 14th, through Christmas day. If you’ve been thinking about giving to our work in Uganda, now’s the time to really make an impact!
We do what we do with vulnerable teen girls in Uganda only because YOU give through us to do the work. We can’t thank you enough!
After a whirlwind giving season, which I actually started in August with a Masterclass through Donorbox, I just sat down and got the books caught up. (Just as an aside, I really hate bookkeeping! Anybody else?!)
Here’s what I discovered – and it was even better than I guessed:
Y’all donated $83,332 in 2021 and $125,367 in 2022….. Um HOLY COW.
You:
purchased a farm
provided desks, windows, and blackboards at Wells of Hope
started a Literacy program, computer lab, Advanced Tailoring program, daycare, and clinic
helped treat countless illnesses
bought water bottles
funded graduations
gave a home to homeless teens with our dorm
provided for funerals and burials
created a safe place for rape victims
provided opportunities for 150 teens in Skills for Life
and allowed us to serve over 25,000 meals!
That’s not even all of it, because your generosity pays for the $1.50 a month trash service, water bills, septic pump outs, salaries, certification renewals, community outreach programs, continuing education, and more. It’s all day, every day, 365 days of the year.
Tweyanzizza nnyo, tweyanzeege — we are so grateful, thank you very much!
We’re so excited to see what 2023 brings and so thankful that you’re on this journey with us.
Webele nyo,
Jennings
