We fundraise for the home in the United States to help meet their everyday needs. One of the ways we fundraise is by selling jewelry and bags made by ladies that live in Kamuli Village, about three hours north of Jinja, Uganda (where the babies home is located). The ladies are paid a fair wage for their work, then their items are sent to us to sell in the States.
We sell the bags and beads on this blog, Facebook, and also out of a boutique in Owasso, OK called Bless UR Heart Boutique. The proceeds from the jewelry and bags is then sent back to Uganda and is used directly by Arise and Shine Babies Home for...
* food/baby formula
* medical care
* re-settling children into their homes when their guardian is on their feet and able to care for them properly
* shelter/utilities
* staff incomes (many actually go without pay if the home did not receive enough money for the month)
Arise and Shine Babies Home does the best they can with the resources they have but money is very tight.
Child sponsorships are so needed and appreciated. A family, business, or organization can sponsor a child solely for $70 a month or can be paired with someone else for a co-sponsorship fee of $35 a month. For sponsorship information, please go http://ariseandshineuganda.org/index.php/programs/jinja-babies-home/. Thank you so much for your support!
