ORGANIZATION: Outreach Uganda

Our Northern Uganda Nursery School Students
We have over 160 students sponsored within our 3 beader groups. At our 3rd beader group, we help support a primary school with over 300 students. Here are some of them.

Help us write grants, brainstorm fundraising ideas, and determine the best ways to intereact with potential donors. This also involves doing the background research to determine what grants we are eligible to apply for, and determining how best to promote the specific programs where we are needing to fundraise money. We welcome your ideas! Your help can be the key for us to expand our two most successful programs to additional villages in Uganda.

We need someone experienced with grant writing who realizes it is a numbers game and will not be discouraged by a few (or a lot) rejections. We have a good track record with our girls' education initiative program and with our rural Uganda nursery school and would love to replicate these programs within this same northernmost district in Uganda.

Community empowerment programs include:

Prior to working with OU, our women participants were normally living on less than $2 per day, and were supporting 8 to 10 children and orphans in their households. Many are widows whose husbands died in the war, or from AIDS.

We do not give handouts but work on building capacity and encouraging those we work with to help themselves.
