As a ministry who believes in helping people up in life, we aim to try and assist people we know and trust when they have a plan to improve their lives through hard work and dedication. We've known this person for many years. He lived in our city of Soroti, Uganda but recently moved to Serere, Uganda which borders Soroti, back to family land near a main access road. It is approximately an hour's drive away but we would, as always, provide full transparency with documentation and photos.
This young man has identified a need in his community for a vehicle detailing service which includes comprehensive cleaning inside and out. In Uganda there are no high tech 'Laser wash' facilities. Car washing services are done manually. He has proposed to have a water source brought to his property then apply for a permit from the city to operate a business and purchase a pressure washer. He will work independently to build the business then later, when needed, hire employees (which also improves the livelihood of his community members).
We humbly appeal to anyone who would be blessed by helping this entrepreneur with a hand up, not a hand out. His proposed budget:
1. Connecting Water: 550,000 Uganda shillings (ugx). ($154 US, £ 114 GBP, $234 AUD)
2. Jet wash generator: 1,600,000 ugx ($447 US, £331 GBP, $680 AUD)
3. District Registration: 100,000 ugx ($28 US, £21 GBP, $43 AUD)
Total: 2,250,000 ugx ($628 US, £466 GBP, $956 AUD)
May God bless you for considering this plea for help.
