3 ways to change lives…

1. Sponsor our very own Martin Nangoli, king of all Patchwork Kids operations in Uganda and the founder of the scheme.

If you would like to sponsor him for all the hard work he is doing, the time is now.

With food prices SOARING and many of the kids all turning up at  his house in the holidays for meals and a second baby on the way, we feel it is time to start sending some money his way.

Martin has been operations manager on site for TEN years and has NEVER received any funding personally for the work he does for Patchwork Kids, he has been running the charity completely voluntarily. We are proud that we only spend the very necessary administration costs, meaning that over 90% of your money goes to the kids, however, this means that we cannot afford to pay a salary to Martin.

If you think you could contribute to the work of Patchwork Kids in this way, you will be supporting not one but ALL the kids on the scheme. Email anna@patchworkids.org

2. Save our preschool!

With the rising food costs, the Patchwork Kids preschool in Kikobero is likely to have to close if we cannot stock up on enough food for the term to come.

If you can give ANY AMOUNT please go to our JustGiving page and donate what you can. Please specify what your donation is for by emailing anna@patchworkids.org too.

3. Volunteer!

We are now offering you the opportunity to volunteer for a couple of months at one of our projects in Uganda or India with Global Handprints. Email info@globalhandprints.com for more information.
