Story
We are a family from Manchester, Maddy 13, Kieran 34, Stacy 34, Next year we are running the Ugandan Marathon, (we are completely self funding the trip, marathon entry, flights, transfers, accomodation, vaccinations etc) All money donated will go directly to the most deserving of charities.
The Charities We‘re raising money for and volentering with.
JOMAIN Midland Academy is based on the island of Kalanagala on Lake Victoria, which is in the furthest reaches of Greater Masaka Region. The island has the challenge of having a scarcely spread population, with hundreds of acres of plantations breaking communities. JOMAIN has been established to provide easier access to education for the Bwendero Community – previously, students as young as 3 years old had to walk long precarious distances through plantations, where they were exposed to risks of abduction and abuse. This academy has become a hub for the island community, however they have to rent the boys boarding accommodation, which takes vital funds away from the school. With your fundraising, we wish to build a new dormitory that will save the school money and prevent overcrowding.
Goal 1: To safely house 41 girls in the newly constructed dormitory.
Goal 2: To generate a further $318 per school term, to be utilised for helping 3 disadvantaged students attend school.
(An explanation of the work a light in africa does). With DIGNITY and LOVE, we provide CARE for sick, abandoned, and disabled children, as well as those who are unsupported in the Kilimanjaro and Manyara Regions of Tanzania. Like children of any family, we seek for ours to have the opportunity to LEARN, GROW, and CONTRIBUTE to the community in a positive and productive way. This is accomplished through NURTURING LOVE beginning at the point of introduction, a strong EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION during childhood, and support through HIGHER EDUCATION, WORK EXPERIENCE and into ADULTHOOD.
Thank you so much for looking at our page!
