This fundraiser is to enable Extreme High School in Kampala Uganda buy four acres of land to grow beans and maize for food.
Henderson Valley, Auckland
Extreme High School in Kampala Uganda feeds, houses, clothes and educates 402 young people, many of whom were rescued from the streets as orphaned, abandoned or abused children. Some were HIV/AIDS orphans. Others came from poor families who could no longer provide for them. The High School is one of four schools that are part of the Uganda Nutrition School Feeding Program (UNSFP) which now cares for 1700 children. It was begun in 1999 by six friends, initially, to care for four HIV/AIDS orphans found abandoned in Nansana Village in Central Uganda. As the problem of abandoned children exploded the program quickly grew and established a feeding and education program. One of the rescued orphans was Kayemba Enock who today is Coordinator of the wider program and teacher at the High School. Since Covid 19 its funding base has collapsed while food costs have escalated. Sometimes the young people go to bed hungry as there is simply no money to buy food. Kayemba is asking for help to buy four acres of land adjacent to the school to grow beans and maize. The land will also be used to teach the young people to grow their own food. Buying this land is a one-off project that will make a permanent change to the School and its young people. Please help the High School buy this land.
I have a daily prayer practice in which I pray for poor people and those devoted to caring for them. I met Kayemba nine months ago and we have corresponded daily ever since.
The money will be spent on four acres of land. The cost of four acres of land is estimated at from 10.5-16 million Ugandan Shillings. This works out at around $5000-$7360 in NZD. $7360 plus the 5% admin fee is about $7750. So that is the target.
Thanks so much Sue
Thanks so much Sue. Each time somebody donates it gives me hope for these young people who have become like nieces and nephews to me.
