As a Pastor and as a Ugandan I am inspired to help children, entire families and communities. I believe that the Lord gives us big vision for big reasons so I am inspired to raise awareness of projects affecting children education.

Performance of primary school children in rural communities has remained poor due to a number of reasons. One such factor is the lack of facilities to facilitate reading at household level. Over 70% of electricity distribution in Uganda is in urban areas. The main source of rural lighting in Uganda is kerosene, which is very polluting, causes indoor air pollution enough to cause severe eye and respiratory problems for children.Kerosene lanterns emit 1/3rd of a ton of carbon dioxide every year

THE CHALLENGE

My Goal is to raise $5000 by January 2017. At just $10.00 per lamp you can bring light to a child trapped in darkness. We are seeking $1,000 dollars in single donations and then we are looking for donors who will support this fundraiser over the next 10 months on a monthly basis to raise the remaining $4,000 so that we can reach all of our targeted 500 children before the end of the first month of the new year. Together we can do more than we ever could alone. :)

The aim is to replace kerosene lamps with solar energy charged lamps with small batteries that use very little power

That's why I started this fundraiser with our Field Partner Mission Del Caribe 501(c)((3) on Pure Charity. Every penny of this goes to fund projects that provide sustainable education solutions to poor rural children in Uganda. These powerful projects even give updates on their progress that show real results and real lives impacted!

Thank you for helping me make a difference!
