    Financial contributions are key for us to be able to expand our program’s needs. Currently the needs far outweighs the available funds. Almost all fund-raising and administrative time is donated to the organization, so your contribution can be used almost entirely for direct program expenses. We are a 501(c)(3) organization, so contributions are tax deductible in the U.S.

    Abong Lilly and her children appreciate your help!

    Beader Abong Lilly and her children--a better life now.

    Your investment in the Ugandan women and children gives hope to their hearts, sparkles to their eyes, and joy to their lives. We spend at least two months each year  in Uganda with our beader groups and can see firsthand how powerfully your gifts improve their lives.

    Urgent priorities for 2013 include:

    •  helping our beaders in Jinja become homeowners so they can permanently overcome poverty
    • expanding the women’s internal revolving (microcredit) loan funds in all locations
    • expanding our Girls’ Education Initiative in northern Uganda from 50 girls to 100 girls (this program targets 5th to 7th grade girls who might otherwise leave school to get married).

    As one of our long-time supporters said recently, “We know you’re changing lives!”  We can do that only with your help which in turn helps expand the women’s and students’ thoughts about what they can achieve in life.
