Send Up the Fireworks!

This week, we were officially recognized as a Community-Based Organization in Kamuli District, Uganda!  This is a big deal for our team, acknowledging all their efforts and the work they have done for the past nine years!

 As our outreach and success in the Kamuli town and the surrounding villages has grown over the years, the local council members (politicians) approached us and we were invited to formally register CLP as a Community-Based Organization (CBO).  Our team was thrilled to have their hard work and progress seen as making a real difference for the most vulnerable.

The Top 5 Reasons We Shine

It’s a Slam Dunk!

The joy was off the charts when these kids got their first-ever pair of sneakers this week (and for some, their first-ever shoes)! 

So much of life for kids in rural Uganda is hard for us to even imagine. I'm a bit choked up seeing the pics and just telling you about it!

 Several months ago, we teamed up with Gorilla Hoops Basketball Academy to help get their sports program for vulnerable children started in Kamuli. 

 This week, thanks to several donors through our DonorSee platform,  the kids received new (to them) sneakers, basketballs and other supplies for the program.
