The team has been busy this past month and we are so excited to update you!

We finished up our TRIPLE Your Donation with Boeing Match for Education campaign last month and because of YOU $12,088.16 was raised. With the $10,000 matching donation from a Boeing employee and the $10,000 matching donation from Boeing the final total is $32,088.16.... over $2,000 past our goal! THANK YOU!! With your donations the following projects have begun:

• 50 Secondary Students will get to go to school for the year with their tuition, uniform, shoes, and supplies paid for. Cost per student is $285. Total cost for 50 students is $14,250.

​

• 20 Primary Students will get to go to school for the year with their tuition uniform, shoes, and supplies paid for. Cost per student is $80. Total cost for 20 students is $1,600.

• 53 families will receive staple foods of rice, beans, maize flour, cooking oil and soaps for one year (distributed 3 x's within the year). Cost per family is $252. Total cost for 53 families is $13,356.

• 35 new families will receive one goat, three rabbits, three chickens, and one rabbit hutch (the other 18 families have already received these animals). Cost per family is $126. Total cost for 35 families is $4,410.

• 400 people will receive health insurance for a year. Cost per person is $3. Total cost for 400 people is $1,200.

​We were able to get the money sent out to Rugarika two weeks ago and already health care has been given to 400 people and the first of three distributions of staple foods and supplies has been made. Check out these beautiful pictures of them receiving the goods earlier this week:

The 70 students YOU raised money to go to school this year will be enrolled into school mid August. The tailoring group is hard at work making the students school uniforms as the teachers are preparing for the new school year. ​

Animals are being distributed this week and we will have more photos and updates for you shortly. More information is coming on these projects so stay tuned!
