2024 ENDED WITH JOYFUL GRATITUDE
u4u’s 2024 “MAKE A CHILD’S CHRISTMAS WISH COME TRUE” fundraising campaign CLOSED the year surpassing its goal to save 500 CHILDREN FROM BEING SENT HOME WITHOUT FINISHING THE SCHOOL YEAR - 720 children WERE SAVED ALLOWING THEM TO TAKE THE end of year EXAM REQUIRED to move onto the next grade level. THEN SOMETHING AMAZING HAPPENED.
donations kept pouring in…
2025 SCHOOL YEAR BEGAN WITH JOYFUL JUBILATION
480 CHILDREN STARTED SCHOOL WITH THEIR FEES FULLY PAID; now they can continue THEIR EDUCATION WORRY-FREE FOR THE ENTIRE YEAR
THANK YOU TO U4U’S GENEROUS SUPPORTERS FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN!
HOWEVER, HUNDREDS MORE ARE STILL AT HOME HOPING TO GO TO SCHOOL
CAN YOU HELP?
Many families live on less than $1.80 a day. The financial commitment to pay their children’s school fees is unattainable for parents with limited to no resources. Please help by sending a child/children to school by gifting the $50 school fee for each child, which includes a bowl of porridge - for many children, the only meal they will receive that day.

Something as simple as a desk can make all the difference.
