BUY HAND-MADE JEWELRY
The students at Nkumba Christian Primary School & May Christian College have created a wide variety of beautiful, hand-made jewelry and sent it all to me. All items are reasonably priced and 100% of the proceeds benefit the kids to pay for their school fees.
Please visit my Jewelry Store to view the latest items for sale. New items will be added often so be sure to check back from time to time.
Questions? Send me a note and I'll be happy to help.
SHOPPING FOR SCHOOL SUPPLIES
School supplies are always needed at the schools in Uganda. I've set up two shopping lists with WalMart and Amazon for those who would like to help. Click the logos below to see the list of needed items. You can also reach out to me directly if you want to donate cash or actual supplies.
SHIPPING TO UGANDA
The schools in Uganda were using encyclopedias from the 1960s when I visited. We have shipped newer sets to the school, but their library is in desperate need of books and newer texts.
I work with a company that transports large shipping containers to Uganda and we can include smaller boxes at a reasonable price (it used to cost over $100 just to ship about 20lbs worth of supplies). Here is the current pricing:
One 60 lb. box (12x12x16) - $95
Four boxes, max 60 lbs. each - $225 ($56.25 per box at this bulk rate)
I am constantly gathering school supplies, toothbrushes, books, and other items to send to the school. I have plenty of sources ready to donate more books, but I have to be able to financially guarantee a way to get them to the school.
If you or your company would like to sponsor one of these boxes or a full shipment, please reach out to me. I will gladly credit you and/or your company on my website and social media.
AFRIPADS
I have found a company called AFRIpads that makes a feminine hygiene kit for girls that will last them an entire year for about $5 each. What's really great is that this company just opened a brand new factory in Uganda recently! A case is 80 kits and shipping for a case is about $8, making each case roughly $410 in total. During my trip, I delivered a total of four cases of AfriPads to the school. But this is an on-going need.
Please help keep these girls in school! This is the reason many girls around the world drop out! If you could buy one, two, five, or even more kits, that would be amazing
Please contact me if you'd like to send some kits to the girls in Uganda.
TOOTHBRUSHES
During my trip, I delivered almost 800 brand new toothbrushes to the schools.
I am now beginning to collect more toothbrushes for the next shipment of supplies to the school. The next time you visit the dentist, please ask for an extra toothbrush. A child in Uganda will thank you.
