🎉 FULLY FUNDED!
WE’RE SO CLOSE — BUT WE NEED TO FINISH THIS! 📚❤️

We have made incredible progress on our 3rd Term school fundraiser, and I am SO thankful for every person who has given, shared, prayed, and helped us get this far.

But we’re not finished yet.

If we cannot cover the remaining school needs, our children are at risk of being sent home from school AGAIN this week. 💔

They have already dealt with the stress and uncertainty of not knowing from day to day whether they will be allowed to stay in class. We don’t want them walking into another week wondering if today will be the day they are told to leave.

They need to be able to focus on what matters — learning, studying, preparing for exams, and finishing their school year strong.

📚 3RD TERM SCHOOL NEEDS — $2,168.67 REMAINING

Primary & Secondary — 49 students

🔹 Secondary School Fees — $773.29

🔹 Required Seminars & Trips — $1,085.00

🔹 Uniform needs/repairs — $310.38

And look how much has already been accomplished! 🙌

✅ Nursery — COVERED!

✅ School Supplies — COVERED!

✅ Primary School Fees — COVERED!

We are down to just $2,168.67.

Could we come together and FINISH this fundraiser so these kids can walk into school this week knowing their fees are paid and they can stay in their classrooms? ❤️

Every gift matters. $10, $25, $50, $100 — together, it adds up quickly.

Let’s get this number to $0 and keep all 49 of these students in school! 📚❤️🇺🇬

Thank you for continuing to believe in these children, invest in their education, and help give them opportunities for a brighter future.

Please give if you can — and SHARE this post to help us reach the finish line! 🙏❤️

🚨 URGENT: WE NEED TO KEEP OUR KIDS IN SCHOOL! 📚❤️

Friends, we urgently need your help.

We need to raise at least $1,730 by Sunday at 3 PM CT to buy our children just ONE MORE WEEK in school.

But our real prayer is much bigger:

🙏 Will you help us raise the FULL $8,144.67 by Monday?

Until these school fees are paid, our students are going to school each day knowing they could be sent home or face punishment because their fees have not been paid.

Imagine trying to concentrate on your lessons—or prepare for important exams that determine whether you move on to the next level—while wondering if today will be the day you're pulled out of class.

These kids WANT to be in school. They WANT to learn. They are working hard and doing so well. Education is one of the greatest opportunities we can give them to build a different future.

And this situation is taking a toll beyond the children.

Every day, Daniel, our orphanage director, is communicating with the schools, asking them to please give us more time and negotiating so our children can remain in class. The constant pressure and stress have become an enormous burden for him and are beginning to negatively affect his health.

We need to lift this burden from Daniel and, most importantly, give our children the security of knowing they can simply GO TO SCHOOL and LEARN. ❤️

📚 3RD TERM SCHOOL NEEDS — $8,144.67 STILL NEEDED

Primary & Secondary — 49 students

🎓 Secondary School Fees — $6,749.29
🚌 Required Seminars & Trips — $1,085.00
👕 Uniform Needs/Repairs — $310.38

And we are so thankful that these needs are already FULLY COVERED! 🙌

✅ Nursery — 1 student — COVERED!
✅ School Supplies — COVERED!
✅ Primary School Fees — COVERED!

🚨 OUR IMMEDIATE GOAL:

$1,730 by Sunday at 3 PM CT

This will allow us to keep the children in school for one more week while we continue raising the remaining funds.

❤️ OUR FULL GOAL:

$8,144.67 by MONDAY!

Could you help?

Whether you can give $10, $25, $50, $100, $238 to help cover a student's secondary fees, or something more, every gift moves us closer to telling these children:

“Your school fees are paid. You don't have to worry. Go learn.”

And if you aren't able to give right now, please share this post. Someone in your circle may be the person God uses to help us close this gap.

Let's surround these children and Daniel with support and take this burden off their shoulders. 49 students are counting on us. ❤️🙏

$1,730 by Sunday at 3 PM CT.
$8,144.67 in full by Monday.

📚 Let's keep our kids in school!

🚨 FULLY FUNDED! THANK YOU!

URGENT - QUICK BULK CORN DISCOUNT BUY! PLEASE HELP!🌽
🙏 Blessed Wednesday to you all!

I just received a message from Daniel about an opportunity to buy good corn in bulk at a discounted price! The prices of corn are going up considerably and this will help our food budget quite a bit.

👉 The person giving the deal will not hold it for long!

This will help our food budget by saving over $825 over the normal cost of this amount of corn. This bulk corn buy will be turned into posho, like you see in the photo, and allow the posho part of the food budget to be covered for 5-6 weeks at a discounted rate.

Every dollar makes a huge difference when it comes to the food budget.

❗ This has to be done quickly while the discount is available, so if you can give any amount towards this, it will really help keep the kids fed. Food costs keep rising and it has been a big challenge to be able to feed everyone even basics on a small budget.

This corn will be ground and used for posho which is their staple food source.
What we need for this CORN BUY is: $1314.00

💜 Please donate here:

📚❤️ HELP US FINISH THE 2026 SCHOOL YEAR STRONG! ❤️📚

$8,544.67 still needed as of 9/15/26

It’s hard to believe we are already preparing for 3rd Term—the FINAL school term of 2026!

And I have some wonderful news to share first...

Our students are doing SO WELL! They are working hard, growing, learning, and excelling in school. We are incredibly proud of them! ❤️ I even found out today that one of our girls actually skipped P7 and went straight to Secondary after passing the tests for p7 promotion at the beginning of this year.

We have many students at a critical point ready to promote from Primary to Secondary and moving up from Senior 4 to Senior 5. It's crucial no students miss classes in 3rd term as it affects all promotions to the next grade levels.

None of this happens without YOU.

Every month, our faithful sponsors and donors help provide the education these children need. And when there are gaps, so many of you step in with one-time gifts to make sure our children can stay in school.

Now we need your help once again.

⏰ We have just 5 DAYS to raise the remaining $10, 577.67 to cover ALL 3rd Term school needs for our nursery, primary, and secondary students.

This will carry them through the final term and allow them to finish their 2026 school year strong!

Still needed as of 4:57pm ct CT 9/8/26:

📚 3RD TERM SCHOOL NEEDS —
$10,577.67

Primary & Secondary — 49 students

• Primary School Fees — $87

• Secondary School Fees — $9,064.29 ($221 per student still needed)

• Required Seminars & Trips — $1109

• Uniform needs/repairs — $317.38

Nursery • 1 student — $0 - covered!
School Supplies — $0 - covered!

❤️ Want to help one student?

A gift of approximately:

🎒 $33 provides school supplies for one student

👕 $6.62 helps with uniform needs/repairs

🚌 $24 covers required seminars/trips

📗 $118.62 covers ALL 3rd Term needs for one primary student

📘 $301.62 covers ALL 3rd Term needs for one secondary student

🧸 $243 covers our nursery student's school fees

Or give $10, $25, $50, $100—whatever God puts on your heart. Every gift moves us closer!

Education is so much more than paying a school bill. It gives these children opportunity, confidence, knowledge, and hope for their future. It gives them the chance to dream about what their lives can become and then equips them to pursue those dreams.

These children have already overcome so much. We don't want finances to be the reason even one of them can't finish this year.

🙏 Would you please pray with us over these next 5 days?

Pray that the remaining $10,577 will come in on time.

Pray for our students as they begin their final term.

Pray for continued success in their studies.

And if God puts it on your heart to give, please help us close this gap!

Maybe you can cover one student's supplies. Maybe you can cover one child's entire term. Maybe you can give $20 and share this post with someone else.

Together, it adds up. Together, we can get ALL of them back into their classrooms for 3rd Term. ❤️

Thank you to every sponsor, monthly donor, prayer warrior, and one-time giver who continues to stand beside these children. Their success is part of YOUR impact too!

Let's finish 2026 strong! 🎓📚🇺🇬❤️
