Urgent Need: Help Us Protect the Kids During the Rainy Season

Peace Makers, Build A Better Us, Orphanage

Hello Peace Makers,

Dear Peace Makers,

We’re reaching out today with an urgent need. The rainy season has arrived in the village—and with it comes heavy flooding, dangerous living conditions, and real threats to the health of the children in our care.

Please help make a difference!

Right now, many of the children are sleeping on soaked mattresses, wrapped in blankets that can’t keep them warm or dry. Water is leaking into their living spaces. Their health is at risk—malaria, bacterial infections, and respiratory illnesses spread quickly in these conditions.

To make matters worse, the village water pump broke last night. Until it's repaired, children and families are forced to drink from the same river animals use—putting them at even greater risk of disease.

This is a critical moment, and we need your help.

Here’s what we’re raising funds for immediately:

  • 🛏️ Dry, clean mattresses & warm blankets for the children

  • 💧 Urgent repair of the village clean water well

  • 🧼 Sanitary supplies and essentials to prevent illness

Our goal is to raise $3,500 as quickly as possible to meet these urgent needs.

Here’s how you can give:

  • $125 fully sponsors one child: mattress, blanket, covering supplies, and access to clean water

  • $60 = Mattress

  • $35 = Blanket

  • $30 = Clean water repair fund (per child impact)

  • Any gift helps restore dignity, comfort, and health

Your generosity will make an immediate difference. Every dollar helps us respond faster—keeping the children safe, warm, and healthy in the face of the storm.

Thank you for continuing to stand with us in love and action.

with love,

BJ Thompson & BBU Team
