Fuel a Mind, Feed a Future: Help Us Keep 700 Vulnerable Students in School Every Year
📌 Who We Are & Who We Are Supporting
We are a dedicated collective team of peer counselors, and community mentors. This campaign is entirely for vulnerable primary and secondary school students in Uganda who face severe academic disruptions simply because they lack basic bodily dignity and consistent personal guidance.
As mentors who have walked these school corridors, we have witnessed the quiet struggle of the girl child skipping classes due to a lack of sanitary towels, and the boy child sliding into negative peer pressure due to a lack of structured guidance. We are stepping into the gap to provide the physical resources and the psychological support these young minds need to stay in school per year on a termly basis.
🎯 Exactly What Your Donation Funds
To be absolutely clear, 100% of your contributions go directly toward purchasing and distributing critical resources for our termly school visits per year. We do not fund administrative overheads. Every single shilling is tied to these two critical needs:
- Hygiene & Dignity Kits: Purchasing sanitary pads for girls to stop menstrual absenteeism, and personal health supplies (such as soap,underpants and deodorant) paired with self-care booklets for boys.
- Fuel & Transport: Covering transit costs to transport our volunteer mentors, speakers, and materials directly to urban and rural schools.
📊 Budget Breakdown & Realistic Costs
To ensure total accountability, we have built a transparent budget for a term based on actual bulk supplier rates and our exact fuel consumption. To fully support at least 700 vulnerable students across 15 schools in term three, our total campaign target is UGX 12,000,000 (~$3,200 USD):
- UGX 10,500,000 (87.5% of the goal): Goes directly to the bulk procurement of health, hygiene, and dignity supplies for 700 boys and girls (costing exactly UGX 15,000 per child).
- UGX 1,500,000 (12.5% of the goal): Covers raw fuel logistics to run 15 separate outreach journeys to our partner schools (costing exactly UGX 100,000 per school trip).
💡 Choose Your Impact (Giving Tiers)
- UGX 15,000 (~$4 USD) – The Dignity Kit: Provides one student (boy or girl) with a complete package of essential hygiene supplies to attend school confidently.
- UGX 30,000 (~$8 USD) – The Peer Support Pack: Supplies two vulnerable students with crucial personal hygiene items and targeted personal care guidance.
- UGX 100,000 (~$27 USD) – The Mobilization Fuel Tank: Completely covers the fuel cost for our team of volunteer mentors to make one full school journey on our list of 15.
- UGX 800,000 (~$213 USD) – The Adopt-a-School Sponsor: Fully funds the fuel and the complete hygiene kits for a typical school cluster of students (approx. 46 students) during one of our 15 outreaches.
🚨 Why This is Urgent
The school term three is almost getting near, and our next critical round of school outreaches is scheduled. We need to secure these funds immediately to purchase supplies in bulk from our suppliers and lock down transport logistics. If we delay, vulnerable students will face another term of preventable absenteeism.
