When Someone Questions Where the Money Goes… ❤️

Since 2013, I have been blessed with the opportunity to use the Karen Sorbo Foundation to support orphanages/Child Care Centers, in Africa.

At my recent fundraiser, generous donors came together to help children who have so little. Following the event, I sent the funds raised directly to the NISSI Project in Uganda. (Orphange)

Those donations have now been used to purchase school supplies, food, shoes, household necessities, chickens, bananas, and other items the children desperately needed.

And today, I received videos from the NISSO Project in Uganda, showing the children’s happiness and gratitude as they received these donations. ❤️

I’m sharing these videos for a very simple reason.

Recently, I was told that someone said that I don't send the money to Africa—that I keep it for myself. I was also told that someone believes I hold these fundraisers for attention.

Those comments are painful, especially after more than a decade of doing this work.

But rather than argue, defend myself, or point fingers, I would rather show you.

This is where your generosity goes.

These children don't know the person who questioned me. They don't know the conversations or accusations. They simply know that someone cared enough to help.

Since 2013, I have continued this work because I believe that when we have the ability to make a difference in someone's life, we should.

So to every person who donated, attended my fundraiser, purchased a silent or live auction item, sponsored an item, volunteered, shared my mission, or simply believed in what I am doing:

THANK YOU.

Your generosity is not sitting in my pocket.

It is in Uganda, Kenya & South Africa.
It is feeding children.
It is helping them go to school.
It is providing necessities.
Clothing & Shoes.
And it is bringing smiles to faces that deserve them.

I don't need to convince everyone.

I simply want to show you the impact. ❤️🌍

With gratitude,

Karen Sorbo

When I was eight years old, I discovered my first National Geographic Magazine—and to me, it was better than any doll I had ever been given.

I would hide in the closet to escape the demands of work at home. And in that small, quiet space, I found a much bigger world. Page after page, the images came alive—places I had never seen, people I had never met.

But what captured my heart were the children.

Children who were hungry. Children who were living in poverty. Children whose eyes told stories no child should have to carry.

I cut out their photos and taped them to my bedroom wall.

My father saw them and said, “Take them down.”

I remember looking at him and saying, “But Dad, I want to help them. They’re so poor…can’t we do something?”

“No. Stop this nonsense,” he replied.

And in that moment, something settled deep within me.

Even as a child, I knew this wasn’t nonsense.

It was purpose.

That day didn’t discourage me—it defined me. It planted something in my heart that never left.

And everything I have done since…has been in service of that moment.

Six decades later, I am still fulfilling my promise & purpose.

These images were captured in South Africa while filming "The Invisible Ones". My first documentary.
