All donated items will be purchased in local, Ugandan markets and then delivered to each child by their Ugandan social worker
Trevis W.
One of our newest little guys, Trevis is probably one of the neediest children we've ever met. When we met him, he was quite sick with stomach a foot infections. He also was irregular at school, only attending when his mother could save up enough money to pay for a little at a time. We believe that these issues are a result of his living conditions and family situation. Our hope is that with consistent food, proper bedding and clothing, and perhaps even an income-generating project, Trevis can become the happy, successful boy the we know he is! Trevis lives in a one-room mud and stick hut with his mother and three siblings. His father has passed away from HIV/AIDS, leaving him a single orphan. The family lives on a very small piece of rented land, which is not enough space to produce a garden that will feed them, and the family is always in need of food. Any items that you can help provide will be an enormous blessing in this family's life, and will help sustain them. We are also asking for special items for Trevis: funding to get his whole family treated for chiggars (bugs that burrow in the feet), and funding towards a small piggery which he and his mother can run to earn an income for the family.

Elvis, Elvis, Elvis!! True to his namesake, Elvis is a big personality who loves to be the center of attention and especially to dance (see video above)! With big heart and an even bigger smile, Elvis is one of 9 children living in an old mud and stick home with his grandmother and many siblings and cousins. He is a top academic performer in his Nursery Class. He excels in math and numbers, and at home his responsibility is to wash the dishes. His mother and Aunt work away from the home, and return occasionally to bring the family money and food. The children of the home were very friendly, smart, and welcoming. Elvis is known for his optimistic, friendly way, and his already positive academic performance in school. He hopes to become an Engineer to "build things". Help for Elvis will help him continue on his way and also support and feed his Grandmother and other children in the home.

Vanessa
Vanessa is a bold little girl, who leads the way! Top of her nursery class, Vanessa is a smart girl who had perfect handwriting, and was able to draw extremely detailed little pictures of her life in Uganda. She was quick to take Melissa's hand as we walked to her home. Vanessa and her grandmother live in a little one-room house right next door to the school. Her main responsibility at home is to fetch water. Vanessa’s mother passed away in childbirth her grandmother has raised her from birth. Vanessa’s grandfather died shortly after she was born as well. So Vanessa and her “Jajja” have lived together in their little home for her entire life. The grandmother is a kind old woman who works hard to provide for Vanessa, but her position as a cook only provides the bare necessities of life, and the grandmother can no longer afford to send Vanessa to school. Vanessa was recommended for TRUE Africa educational sponsorship by the Nursery teacher and social worker because she shows great academic and social potential and her need is extremely high. Any help that you can provide for this darling little friend will keep her begin to thrive!

Maria Nantume
|
TRUE Africa volunteers found Maria on a home visit to a neighboring child. She was four years old and very wary of adults. We discovered that she was being chased away by neighbors in the village for fear that her condition was contagious. She was also not allowed to attend school because of her skin condition. TRUE Team members immediately knew that finding an educational sponsor for Maria would be crucial, to keep her as a valued part of the village and give her a chance at a successful future. After seeking medical advice, we were able to determine that she had a skin pigmentation disorder, and was NOT infectious. When a sponsor was found for Maria's education, TRUE Africa visited the local school. They presented a letter describing Maria's condition to the principal and explained that Maria was NOT infectious and should be admitted to school...and she was!!
Maria is now a happy and successful little girl! She adores her teachers, who say that she has a talent for mathematical concepts. She is now able to enjoy socializing with the other children at school and her village. Maria especially loves singing and dancing. Her Vitiligo causes itching, but through her sponsor, she receives all medications to keep her healthy. Maria would like to become a nurse! Absolutely ALL of Maria's immediate needs

This amazing school teacher took Leticia home with her, to live with her. This was a VERY rare occurance, as it is almost unheard of to take in a child that is not your family.

Papaya Beads is a fundraiser for TRUE Africa. We work with a local woman, Esther, who rolls magazine and newspaper strips on a pin to create handmade paper beads. She then strings the beads together to make beautiful necklaces! We purchase our necklaces from Esther in Uganda, then bring the necklaces home. We sell the necklaces to raise money for our education programs and care items for our sponsored children.
Absolutely 100% of the money raised through selling these necklaces goes straight to the cause.
We volunteer our time to seel the necklaces and we do not keep any of the funds raised.
