Story

We need your help to raise £20,000 to support 3 big projects in Uganda. We are looking for people to run, walk, or cycle some miles towards our 6000 mile goal (the distance from the U.K to Uganda). Whether it's a 3 mile walk with the children and you raise £5 or that marathon run that you didn't get to do and raise £500, we would love your support as we save lives and release children from poverty. Your money will go towards:

1. Covid-19 Appeal

Many families in Uganda are struggling due to the lockdown as they are unable to work or sell on what they have grown in their gardens. With no income, they have little to no food. Abaana is working to:

Provide emergency food packages (just £50 would cover some of a family's necessities for one month)

Urgently support street children

2. Build a School

Abaana has committed to the building of Atukubui Primary School in eastern Uganda. It costs around £7,000 to build a classroom (eight needed in total).

3. Choir 3

Choir 3 has been currently postponed to 2022. During training, Abaana cover the full costs of the new choirs education, accommodation and paperwork (£450 will pay for the education of a choir child while training).
