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.
We signed the “This Holiday Season, Pledge to Give” petition!

I'm a homemaker. My husband always gives me whatever money I ask of him. And anytime I go out I give whatever I have left over to charity. My children enjoy it too because it's been made into a game, and they literally beg me to give them some money so they can give it to those in need.
