We help create opportunities to alleviate poverty in Africa

Story

Grace Children’s Village is a project in Uganda focused on poverty alleviation 
and opportunity creation. Since 2009, a demonstration farm, comprising crops and animals, has been helping to improve farming techniques of local farmers. In 2010 two nursery classrooms were constructed and opened, with an additional three classrooms being built for 2012 - in addition there are two 'improvised' classrooms being used until these are built. Currently over 110 children are being educated in the school and 14 adults are employed at the project. 

Sponsorship of a child is £14/month. Sponsoring a teacher (£80/month) or the farm are also options. We are trying to raise £75,000 for the 2011/2012 
project plans.  All funds raised are sent to Uganda and used directly on the ground helping or employing local Ugandans.
