2025 Mid-Year Impact Report

Where Your Donations Are Going in 2025

Raised So Far: $13,428.62

Thanks to your generosity, we’ve raised over $13,000 in the first half of 2025 — every bit of it going toward supporting students, staff, and life-changing projects in rural Uganda.

What We’ve Accomplished (January–June 2025)

• Provided education to 150 students, most on full scholarship

• Employed 12 local staff, including teachers, a cook, a driver, and support staff

• Installed a playground in February for joyful, safe play

• Began construction on a new kitchen with stoves and storage

• Purchased supplies like soap, chalk, food, and school materials

• Funded teacher salaries and school operations

• Raised over $600 to repair a community water borehole

What’s Coming Next

In the second half of the year, we’re working to:

• Build one new classroom (essential for 2026 expansion)

• Construct a cafeteria to keep students dry during meals

• Add accessibility ramps to each building

• If funding allows: hire a secretary/accountant and two security guards

• Host two fundraisers — one in Austin, Texas, and one in Uganda during a safari trip

Dream Goals for the End of 2025

• Complete the primary school (3 more classrooms + cafeteria)

• Prepare for 2026 with additional teachers and staff

• Increase recurring donations or savings for long-term stability

• Explore long-term options for children without safe homes

Your Impact Matters

Every donation, every share, every conversation: it all builds toward something bigger.
Together, we’re making education possible, one student and one brick at a time.
