Story

Hi guys, If you're reading this we must thank everyone of you for coming to understand just what this cause is all about. 


If you don't know us my name is Jayden and my partner is Bou, we spend a lot of our time trying to make the people around us happy and our aim in life is to help one person at a time to see how the people around us do the same thing. 

In February us and a group of absolutely lovely people are heading out to Uganda to  build more to the orphanage.

The money you are raising is going directly to this newly founded village and all effort and funds are completely used to help the children and teachers in the school etc.

As well as paying all teachers a salary ABODE have also supplied accommodation for each teacher less than 100 meters from the school as well as Laptops & phones so the teachers can keep the students sponsors up to date with the kids progress

As for most gigantic charities its hard to keep track of where the funds are going. You donate to a good cause but it just goes into so many different areas its like the donation is meaningless. This is why I have chosen the Abode project as i know the money is going directly to a good cause with instantaneous effect.

We need to raise as much money as we can to change the lives and the futures of these kids and teachers. 

Honestly for the same price of a box of cadbury chocolates you are funding for these kids to have clothes, education, toys. Something we take for granted living in such great conditions.

So please, I am asking that you donate something. Literally anything. Your money here will directly impact and change these peoples lives and you will see the results instantaneously! We will document all our work and show you the instant changes and smiles! :)

I urge you to donate something to these people for christmas. Literally anything! Money, Old Clothes, Toys! Something that will bring endless smiles and happiness to this small community!

Thank you for reading this short story! I hope you see the perspective!

All the best
Jayden 

The Story

When worlds collide at the most basic, instinctive and primal point of contact; amazing things happen, and the opportunity for exponential development ignites like an untameable wildfire.

The Abode Project was born from the essential pillars of the house music community, sourcing funds via private and public donations along with raising money through the medium of hosting large-scale club events/festivals around the world.

In November 2018, The Abode Project set out to Kabale to visit a newly purchased plot of land with 39 eager volunteers. Among the volunteers were tradesmen and women, DJs, Promoters, Nurses, Artists, Photographers and Videographers. Some friends, some total strangers.

Throughout the eight-day period, those 39 volunteers became a very personal and emotional family; they worked harder than they even knew they were capable of at times for hours and hours on end with a no-nonsense attitude.

What was achieved in that space of time is something that has had an internal and external impact on everybody it has touched. An abandoned School, Orphanage, Outhouse and tired piece of land now shines brightly as a beacon of hope for an entire community and many generations to come. It is now home to The Abode Project School & Orphanage; a place of education, shelter, opportunity, security, humility and unity; a project that will continue to grow and expand into one of the poorest parts of an entire continent.

Several classrooms, dormitories, offices, a community hub where technological knowledge will be provided to help integrate these children into western society and give them a slice of the life we are so undeserving of in comparison, a music centre where children can nurture their talent for natural rhythm, the list goes on and on

This is still the very beginning, but with the help of your compassion, affinity and funding we genuinely believe there is no limit to what we can achieve.

For the price of a pint of beer or some new mascara you can feed an entire family in Kabale for a week, for as little as £20 a month you can pay for a childs education and board at our school and orphanage. Thats the same price as a round of drinks on a night out that you probably cant even remember anymore!

Who says the poorest of the poor cant become scientists, doctors and more? Just because it hasnt been done before doesnt mean we cant be the generation to open the door...

The project was the brainchild of Abode & is entirely run by them, however they have partnered with Last Night A DJ Saved My Life to maximise fundraising opportunities, obviously we are more than happy to help!
