I recently came across an orphan project called the The Little Angels Needy Children and Orphan Project in Uganda,which was founded in 2011 by Duncan Musinguzi Nelson. The project is committed to improving the lives of children, and offering them an education and a higher standard of living. Little Angels Uganda has both nursery and primary school,with classes going up to primary 7, which is a last class in the primary education system of Uganda which allows one to qualify to go to secondary/high school.

There are currently 282 registered needy children under the care of Little Angels Needy Children & Orphan Project. These children are between the ages of 3 and 14 years old.Out of those children registered there are 160 girls and 122 boys of which 5 of them are children with special needs.

Of these 282 children,102 are double orphan(meaning the child has lost both parents) and 70 are single orphan(the child has lost 1 parent).The remaining 110 have parents but are very very poor. All primary age children are attending school, but your help is needed to ensure that the children all continue going to school.

My aim is to travel to Uganda for one month to volunteer and help in any way I can in my time there. I am required before visiting, to orgainse a form of fundraising in order to create awareness and also help the projects survival through the donations we raise together. 

Our donations will help attain at least some of the basic needs of life for these children. The project accepts and welcomes the donation of school supplies, mattresses,beds,mosquito nets,bedding,clothing,footwear and hygiene products. Though, quite often,  most of their donors opt for the monetary form, citing the long processes and exorbitant prices incurred in sending physical materials so, its a matter of whichever is easier and most convenient for you.

All information can be found on littleangelsuganda.org .There you can also find the list of items of the basic necessities needed by the project,together with the cost of the items(such as food items,school supplies etc) and the amounts required. You can also donate directly on the site.

The target I wish to reach is 4,215,600 Ugandan Shillings which is equivalent to €1,000.

EVERY LITTLE HELPS, and together we CAN make a difference. 

I thank you for the time you have taken to read up on this cause, and thank you in advance for any donations contributed.
