Give Us Wings

$25 can purchase a blackboard for a rural school as we seek to increase the quality of education for all young people in Tororo district

Last April, we raised funds to assist Akipenet Primary School, a new school in a very rural area of the district that serves nearly 700 students. The school has limited resources and students have to share basic school supplies. Give Us Wings was able to provide 7 portable blackboards, 9 boxes of chalk, 10 teacher instruction manuals, and over 800 notebooks for the students!

$50 can cover the cost of prenatal care and birthing services for one woman at our clinic, because all these services are provided FREE of charge to expectant mothers

We recently completed the extensive enlargement and remodel of the maternity ward at our St. John’s Kayoro Health Center. With over 300 births each year, this was a long-overdue upgrade. Pregnant women now have a spacious, well-equipped place to give birth, with plenty of natural light. And our staff has adequate room for consultations, births, and office work.

$100 can purchase a hairdressing chair for one of the enrollees in our Community Youth Skilling program…helping her to start a small business and earn income for her family

This is a picture of Bena, a recent graduate from the skilling program. She had to drop out of school several years ago because her family could not afford the school fees. Now that she has started her hairdressing business, she’s earning her around $100 per month! Says Bena: “I am able to make money today out of this business. I can pay rent, school fees for my child, books, uniform and give money for eating something at school. I am a happy lady today.”
