Descrição
Hello, Greetings from Uganda.
We are Esther and Janet, twin sisters who founded an organization after being deeply moved by the lives of three children we encountered who had no means to attend school. Witnessing their hardship inspired us to dedicate ourselves to helping children in similar situations.
Initially we managed to cover school fee's for these first three children, however our number of children grew substantially and this is when we decided to start the foundation. We now rent a private school building and our organization now hosts over 40 children offering free education, mentorship programs, health care services, and essential needs like clothing, food and other recourses.
Here at the foundation we do more than just offer our help to the children we also work with their family and the wider community of Namulanda.
We would be thrilled to welcome travelers who are interested in engaging with and teaching the children at our school and our local community.
