This fundraiser is to assist the registered Bukaye Children’s Orphanage in the very rural region of the Bugiri District in Uganda to become sustainable.
Over the past months during COVID-19 they have been heavily impacted where all funding has halted.
Approximately £3200 has been donated to them already to help with rent of the orphanage, food, firewood, clean water, soap, toothpaste, sanitary towels and more. In our bid to make them sustainable in part of this funding we provided a 5000 Ltr water tank so that they would no longer need to buy water, but would have clean water for cooking, drinking and washing.
We also covered their rent up until December 2020. This is not sustainable and so we want to buy their building, the cost is £5000.00
We also want to build a chicken farm which will help for them to sell chickens, eggs, and develop a sustainable business which will help them pay for food. The cost to develop this is approximately £4500
We also want to provide solar lanterns for the children so that they do not need to buy dangerous kerosene for the children, our founders other company Gennex will commit to donating these, however we need the shipping costs to package them and ship from our storage in Kenya approximately £140 to ship 35 solar lanterns.
There are other needs such as new furniture, new bed mattresses, new blankets, clothes and shoes for the children. We estimate a budget of £2000.00
The orphanage currently houses 33 children between the age of 2 and 17 and has been operating since 2016 with food, supplies and clean water provided through funding.
