overview
petition

Sponsored by: GlobalGiving

These girls are students in a school in Nyakagyezi, Uganda who have been orphaned due to HIV/AIDS. One of the students, Daphine, wrote this poem about hunger:

Hunger Hunger
the enemy that
fights intestines.
It keeps on
demanding even
when you have lost
a mother on Hunger
Hunger.

Children like Daphine who are orphaned due to AIDS are cut off from critical access to healthcare, education, and basic necessities. This school provides free education to these children, and is funded completely by donations from people like you.

This holiday season, there are all kinds of expensive gadgets and gizmos that you can give to family and friends. But consider this - it only takes $42 to provide a student in Uganda with a nutritious lunch for an entire year.

Join GlobalGiving in making this holiday season a time for giving, in any and every way possible. Tell us how you will make the season brighter for those in need.

This season, pledge to give!
