YOU DID IT!!

Because of YOU we have SURPASSED our goal of $10,000 and raised a total of $12,088 which unlocked Boeing's $10,000 MATCHING donation as well as an employee's $10,000 MATCHING donation equaling a whooping $32,088!!

The COVID-19 pandemic and war in Ukraine has made food and supply prices skyrocket in Rugarika. I am so excited to announce with YOUR donations the Boeing Triple Match Campaign will almost entirely cover the costs of the following projects we can now implement in July:

• 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.​
