Break the chains of poverty by helping me put these children through a proper education.

$360 of $2,100 goal
Given by 5 generous donors in 6 weeks

Please help me break the chains of poverty for these children by ensuring they recieve a proper education.

Feilding, Manawatu-Wanganui

I met Ssebunya Ivan through social media at a difficult time in his life. His parents were killed in a car crash and he was left trying to feed, clothe and shelter his younger brothers and sisters. We have spoken multiple times via messaging and video chatted using Whatsapp. With Gods help we were recently able to help secure some land so Ssebunya could grow food to feed himself, his siblings and help with rental costs.

We would now like to take this a step further and get his brothers and sisters into schooling, in an effort to break this cycle of poverty. Ssebunya has done his research and sent me a print out from the school that contains all of the costs involved.

To get all eight of his siblings into school we are looking at around $2000NZ, equal to 4,370,900 Ugandan Shillings (UGX). This will cover the first year of education including board for the older ones.

I am appealing to your heart and to your compassion. Please help us break the chains of poverty in this family by helping these children gain a proper education.

Jesse Arnold's involvement (page creator)

I met Ssebunya through social media. Since then we have been in contact almost daily, which has included video chats.

Use of funds

If we are too far off the full amount, these funds will be sent regardless for food, clothing, shelter etc. If we are close, I will top it up to the $2000. I have started the process with $200NZ. Any extra that is donated will be sent to orphans in Uganda.

Please help me raise the full $2000 to help Ssebunyas family in Uganda. If we raise above this amount, all funds will be sent (minus the give-a-little fees of 5%), to orphans in Uganda. These will be paid through Remitly and a photo of the transaction will be posted.
