A group of women from around the world are going a month without make-up because we believe ALL girls deserve an education.

I am raising money for Orphans Know More (OKM), a charity that was founded in 2005 in Harpenden, which operates under Youth With A Mission (YWAM).

Orphans Know More is a relationally based partnership working together 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 institutionalisation. Stronger families within the network also care for other families that may be headed by a widow who is HIV+. 

Of these 187 children, 47 girls need sponsorship for their primary, secondary and vocational education this year. In Uganda, only 18% of girls finish secondary education. They are determined, passionate and joy-filled women who deserve to receive the opportunity of education. 

Please consider sponsoring me as I bare my face for November 2022! 100% of your donation after bank charges go to these 47 Ugandan girls and their educations.

BREAKDOWN:

Primary (10 girls) £150 each

Secondary (26 girls) £450 each

Vocational (11 girls) £600 each

Total to raise: £19,800
