Bryan's fundraiser for Mullabrack Parish Church of Ireland

Bryan Hunter is raising money for Mullabrack Parish Church of Ireland

Sponsored Hair Cut · 10 April 2025

Abaana is a Christian based charity which invests in Children in Africa, helping them to break the chains of poverty, through education. There are 19,000 children who die in Africa each day from poverty and disease which is so easily preventable. Over the past 25 years, Abaana has been able to share the love of God in a very practical way with those who need it most. In the past 25 years Abaana has built 17 schools throughout Uganda and currently provides sponsorship for 1,600 children. The aim of Mullabrack and Kilcluney’s short-term mission trip in July 2025 is to visit Abaana’s Schools, New Life Homes and to help with the Street Children. We are a large team of around 30 people and hope to organise summer schemes in the schools, work with street kids, play sports, give lunch and offer medical care and spend time with children who were formerly living rough on the streets and are now being cared for. There are also plans to start a development project to build a toilet block or school kitchen or a nursery school classroom.

Story

Hi everyone!

I’m excited to share an incredible opportunity we are looking forward to being part of this July (2025). We (Jill, Ella & myself) will be travelling to Uganda as part of a team of 34 people, with our church, Mullabrack & Kilcluney Parish, to support the amazing charity Abaana.

During this trip, we will be helping to build a three classroom nursery school and working on projects that are transforming lives:

Street Reach, which provides support and hope to vulnerable young boys living on the streets of Kampala.

Zuri Girl Classes, an initiative empowering older primary school pupils with vital menstrual hygiene and sexual health education.

Abaana is committed to changing lives through quality education in rural communities across Africa, with a particular focus on Uganda. Many children in these areas either miss out on school or study in unsafe, makeshift conditions. By building permanent schools that exceed government standards, Abaana is breaking the cycle of poverty and creating brighter futures.

We are self-funding our trip, so all

donations will go directly to the building and mission projects mentioned above.

How You Can Help:

I’m reaching out to ask for your support in two ways:

Donate – Every contribution, no matter how small, will help us make a difference on this trip. Your donation will go directly toward the projects we’ll be working on and to support Abaana’s broader mission.

Share – Help spread the word by sharing this page with your family, friends, and networks.

This mission trip is not just about building schools—it’s about building hope, opportunity, and brighter futures for children who need it most.

Thank you so much for your support, encouragement, and generosity. Together, we can make a real difference!
