CRMI's Beds for Bombo

CRMI Children of Hope is raising money for crmi

Beds for Bombo · 13 June 2022

Our local partners identify children within the community who need support to access education. We then match these children with a sponsor. We also work to eliminate other barriers to learning such as gender inequality, poor health, poor housing, poor sanitation and poor nutrition.

Story

After visiting Uganda in March 2022, we realised there was a real need for beds for the children. 

Imagine 3 children sleeping on the dirt floor on a scrap of foam no bigger than a coffee table. With no sheets, blankets or mosquito nets, not only are the children not able to sleep well, but they are also prone to disease such as malaria.

The benefits of a good night's sleep on education are numerous. Increased focus, concentration, memory, creativity, decision making, emotional stability, just to name a few.

On July 22nd, our CRMI Children of Hope Co-Director, Ginny Tracy and her 13 year old son, George Tracy, will be travelling to Uganda where they will be sleeping on a foam mattress on a dirt floor with no sheets and no blankets for 2 weeks. They will be keeping a video diary and updating social media with how their sleep is impacted by the lack of comfort and warmth. They will be interviewing local families about their sleeping situation and how they feel it affects their every day life.

Our goal is to raise enough money for the children of CRMI Children of Hope to have bunk beds with mattresses, blankets, sheets and mosquito nets.

If you donate for a set of bunk beds, we will do a live (zoom call) delivery to the family and show you the impact of the before and after that your donation has made.

Every donation helps, no matter the size. Thank you for supporting the children of CRMI Children of Hope!
