GICF is seeking child sponsorships and general contributions to fund Lulwanda Children's Home operations, projects and future expansions. Your generous support will help GICF assist the children of AIDS-stricken East Africa.
Operating Costs:
GICF needs to raise funds to cover ongoing operating costs at Lulwanda Children's Home, as it continues to grow. Your donations will ensure that we can provide a loving home and excellent care to the 90 children presently at Lulwanda.
Projects:
In addition, Lulwanda has several one-time project needs. A donation designated for one of these projects (or a portion of one of these projects) would make a huge improvement to the long term future of Lulwanda:
- Installation of a fence around the Primary School, for protection of the children, staff and equipment ($11,000).
- Purchase solar power panels to reduce dependence on the national electrical grid and reduce electricity bills. Total cost $25,000 but we can buy and install panels in phases.
- Install gutters, a large storage tank, pump and piping to gather and use rainwater in the "pour flush" toilets at the LCH school ($3,000).
- Install a low fence around our 10 acres of farmland to keep animals out and discourage passers by from taking our produce ($14,000).
You may donate by mailing us a check (see Contact Us for address) or donate online using a secure server.
Funds given to GICF will be directly used to benefit the children through the operation of LCH, as GICF has no paid staff outside of Uganda. Approximately 98% of GICF funding goes to Lulwanda, and about 2% to administration and fundraising expenses in the USA. All donations are tax deductible in the USA and tax receipts are issued annually.
