<span style="font-size: 90%; font-family: Georgia,serif; color: rgb(239, 11, 25);">Children of Uganda Paragraph
<span style="font-size: 90%; font-family: Georgia,serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Children of Uganda, founded in 1995, is an organization set up to help the many orphaned and disadvantaged children of Uganda. This includes orphaned children with health problems, disabilities, and children who have lost their parents to aides SP or other diseases. Their main goal is to help these children to someday become healthy, active members of society. Children of Uganda supports about 700 children. It has two homes, or orphanages for children where they receive medical help and schooling. Each home has an attached primary school where children from ages 5 to 13 attend school. Orphans with disabilities are housed at the Philip’s House facility which is part of the Kiwanga home. If you donate to Children of Uganda, think about what a long way your small donation can go. For instance: //"$25 will provide schoolbooks for two children. $50 will provide a bunk bed for two children. $75 will provide towels and sheets for fifteen children. $100 will provide school shoes for ten children. $500 will provide school uniforms, textbooks, and other school requirements for an entire grade. $850 will educate one child for a year. $5,000 will educate 6 children for a year." (found at// //http://www.aidforafrica.org/members.php?id=12)// <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Children of Uganda receives its funding solely through donations. In other words, it is not a government-funded organization. Of the $1,428,364 that Children of Uganda receives each year, 90.4% of that money is used for the actual charity. That’s only $136,356 being used for overhead expenses. Please help by donating to Children of Uganda. Their goal is to help these unfortunate orphans to become active members of society.

<span style="font-size: 90%; font-family: Georgia,serif;">
<span style="font-size: 90%; font-family: Georgia,serif;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">I think that Children of Uganda does a wonderful job and would be a very worthy cause to donate to. It has a four out of four star rating. 90.4% of Children of Uganda’s funding goes to the charity, not the staff. Hundreds of orphans need education and a place to live in order to go anywhere in life. Children of Uganda can provide that and much more. The homes of Children of Uganda are nicer than most and the majority of your donations do go to this charity, not the people who work for the charity, so your money is not being wasted. Another thing that makes this charity a good charity is that there is no way for your donations to be aiding something "corrupt". All the money goes to the children. Please donate to Children of Uganda. The orphans of Uganda need your help.
