URGENT: 24 Kids Out of School—They Can’t Wait Any Longer
Peace Makers, Empower Futures, Education
Hello Peace Makers,
It’s been FOUR WEEKS. Four weeks of these kids without supplies, educations materials have been sitting at home, falling further behind. If we don’t step in, they’ll miss the entire semester—and once they fall behind, catching up is nearly impossible.
In Uganda, education isn’t free. If you can’t pay, you don’t go. Right now, 24 children are stuck at home because they don’t have the funds for school. They need our help.
Here’s the message I got this week from our lead in Uganda.

We can do this! But we need a overwhelming support from our partners in this moment!
Here’s what it takes to get them back in the classroom:
📚 $250 sponsors a child for the semester (tuition, supplies, medical check-up, and a field trip).
✏️ $150 provides a partial scholarship to help get them there.
We need 24 people to fully sponsor a child. Or 48 people to give a partial gift.
If we don’t act now, these kids will continue to miss school. Their futures are on the line, and we have the power to change that.

Let’s do this. Every day they’re out of school is a day they can’t afford to lose.
With urgency,
BJ Thompson
