BULA

BULA BULA supports children and education in Uganda.

OUR MISSION is to empower children and youth in vulnerable situations by improving access to quality education, by strengthening families, and by facilitating a platform of support and dialogue among, and for, young people. At BULA, we view education as a key tool for empowerment, one that is most effective when vulnerability is diminished. We also understand that a fundamental contributor to vuln

erability is the widespread institutionalization of children and youth in orphanages and children’s homes. By breaking the cycle of institutionalization, by supporting the alternative care framework, and by providing support to young people transitioning out of care, we can reduce vulnerability and strengthen our educational support initiatives. Empowerment with education and reduced vulnerability with alternative care are the guiding principles of BULA’s mission. Through our programs, these principles give voice to the young people they support, while protecting their right to privacy. With that in mind, our fundraising initiatives and advocacy campaigns serve as a platform for their voice, giving rise to improved global awareness and a stage to influence the narrative on global education and childcare policy.

This Saturday is the Sayville Running Company 10 Mile Run to the Blue Point Brewery! We are so excited for this awesome event. Taking place at the new Blue Point Brewery location for the first time, we are looking forward to watching over 2000 runners participate in one of the coolest races around.

For us, this race is not only fun, but it’s a race that makes a tremendous difference in our work. Since 2012, this event has raised over $150,000 for BULA. Those funds have allowed us to:

•Sponsor school fees, keeping kids in school when they wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity for an education. Thanks to that continued support, some of them are now college graduates!
•Support improvements to the school we built 11 years ago.
•Strengthen families who have been separated and later reunited with their children.
•Establish and operate a nationwide network for vulnerable young people who have left orphanages and have no support system to which they can turn.

We’re changing lives in Uganda thanks to the enthusiasm of runners and to the incredible team who makes this race possible. We are so grateful.
