Operation Give: Uganda

HELLO! I think it’s time we all start to learn to give back, as we’re currently living in a world where it feels like everything is being taken from us, especially our children: our forests, our natural resources, our healthcare, our right to an education... And awareness for the future starts with EDUCATION - when children know how to love themselves, take care of others, and the planet, we set up the world for a better (and more sustainable) future.

When I was asked by one of my best lifelong friends, Diane Philips, to get involved with a cause that fully aligns with these values, I was enamored, and I hope you will be too.

Choosing to help children gain an education, clean food and water, and a promising future, in one of the most needed places on the planet, could not be closer to my heart. 

Let’s come together to do something incredible for these beautiful children in Uganda! 

MISSION: Our goal this year is to raise $50,000 to support 83 children in Uganda with school supplies & food for an ENTIRE YEAR! 

IMPACT: All funds raised will provide school supplies such as backpacks, shoes, clothing, and additional materials for educational support. Nutritious meals and snacks will be provided at school every day, which may be the only food they will have that day. Alongside the Saint Ann Foundation staff and volunteers, our founder Diane will personally hand deliver the first batch of school supplies this winter. You’ll be able to see the direct impact of your personal donation through photos and videos taken on-site while she distributes the donations. Saint Ann Foundation in Uganda will purchase and replenish the school supplies and food throughout the year.

WHY:  

DONATIONS: We're reaching out to you for help. Together we can do this! Just $40 provides one child with food and educational support for a whole month! All donations are welcome, big or small; every penny counts and is appreciated beyond words.

SHARING: Most importantly, spread the word by sharing with your network, friends, and family. Can’t donate monetarily? No problem! Your voice still matters! Please share our video to help spread awareness and to generate donations and support. Your share could inspire a domino effect of donations! Statistically speaking, every share generates an average of over $102 in additional donations and engagement!

TAX-DEDUCTIBLE: Yes! You will receive a tax receipt e-mail for your donation to a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

WE’VE DONE THIS BEFORE: Over the past 7 years together, *we* have raised a total of $90,000 for children in need in Guatemala and Uganda! With high hopes and a can-do attitude, we are confident we will make this yet another successful year to make some more beautiful children feel super duper loved and cared for!
