No-Makeup November 2019
Kira Gentile is raising money for Orphans Know More
Story
I am joining a group of women from all over the globe to ditch makeup for the month of November and raise money for girls in Uganda to go to school.
I am raising money for Orphans Know More, a charity founded in 2005 whose goal is to form relational partnerships with families in Uganda to give orphans a Face, a Family, and a Future.
OKM focuses on families, not institutions, and believes that the best way to tackle the international orphan crisis is to care for children in families. OKM is strengthening 26 local families in the Jinja Region in Southern Uganda. These families have fostered and adopted and care for 187 children as their own, offering love and acceptance without condition. These families function as nuclear and extended families, free from institutionalization.
Of these 187 children, 61 girls need sponsorship for their primary, secondary and vocational education this year. In Uganda, only 18% of girls finish secondary education.
Please consider sponsoring me this month and giving to Orphans Know More to send these 61 girls to school for the year. 100% of your donation after bank charges goes to these girls and their education.
Let's celebrate natural beauty and empower girls all over the world!! Every little bit makes a difference.
BREAKDOWN:
Vocational (10 girls) $450 each
Secondary (30 girls) $360 each
Primary (21 girls) $77 each
Total to raise: $16,917*
*My goal of $1,775 reflects the cost of sending 2 girls to Vocational, 2 girls to Secondary, and 2 girls to Primary school. Thank you for your consideration to give!
