Holiday 2024
Fundraising Campaign

In 2024, we took our 14th trip to Uganda with a team of volunteers to work with project partners at two schools in northwestern Uganda in the West Nile region. This lush, beautiful area is one of Uganda's poorest, with 81% of children living in poverty as of 2020. 

​

We need your support this holiday season to fund our upcoming projects in Uganda!

 

What we did in 2024

 

​​We equipped the school library at Maracha High School with computers, digital materials, and access to the internet. The library is named in memory of Mr. George Williams O’dama, who partnered with FOYA Uganda teams between 2014 and 2023, and Mr. Ben Zirzow, a dedicated FOYA Uganda volunteer who helped to establish school libraries in Atratraka and Galia.

 

We continued to build on our past work in distributing reusable menstrual pad kits to girls, making suitable washing facilities available, and providing appropriate educational curriculum to teachers, parents, students, and community members. Providing girls with appropriate supplies and education makes a measurable difference in their school attendance and completion rates and allows them to take charge of their futures. Learn more here about how such a small change can make such a big difference.​
