BeZao.com: Tell us a little about yourself and how you ended up in Uganda?

Uganda is a poverty stricken country in Eastern Africa where public school doesn't exist, and if one wants to be educated, the $100-300 cost per term is nearly impossible to afford on a $300 annual income. If you're an orphan, as 2.4 million Ugandan children are, it's an unattainable dream.

Thankfully, my friends Mindy & Larisa created a foundation to sponsor HIV/AIDS orphans across Uganda. Kirabo Foundation. The education of students involved in the program is partially or fully provided along with simple school supplies and sometimes uniforms. They are sponsoring children of all ages from Primary through Secondary school.

It's a very small organization so almost 100% of your contributions go directly to the students!

Our beautiful student Esther A. 's picture is proudly displayed on our refridgerator and the kids pray for her daily. For only a few dollars every semester, we've been able to reach across the globe and share Christ's love with our favorite 2nd grader!
