How is the help provided
WE WILL RECEIVE THE MONEY IN A TRANSPARENT ACCOUNT
You can donate through a one-off payment or better still with a standing order to account number 2404121/5500. You can also send money from fundraising events to the account. We will be happy to issue a donation receipt for your records.
DETERMINE THE PURPOSE OF THE AID
Thanks to our stay in Uganda, we know where we can effectively help. Our goal is to support the education and outreach of children in Uganda – we pay for school fees, school supplies and equipment, and even hospital care if needed.
WE SEND MONEY TO STUDY FOR LIFE
Our partner organization is Study for life, which operates directly in Uganda. We continuously cooperate and have receipts or certificates for all funds sent.
WE HELP SPECIFIC CHILDREN
The money sent are distributed efficiently. They help locally as needed. First and foremost, the children’s school fees are paid and then other needs are addressed – in the past we have bought shoes, uniforms or school supplies, for example.

WHAT ALL DOES THE ILLITERACY IN UGANDA AFFECT?
LIFE LEVEL
The majority of Ugandans is very poor and in order to provide basic needs for themselves and their families, they need to have multiple jobs because one job, even a skilled one, is not enough because it is not sufficiently remunerated. Not to mention usual menial jobs.
HEALTH
Human health in Uganda is shrouded in a great many myths that affect the way adults and children are treated. People believe in the life-threatening superstitions and practices of local healers. They believe that they go to hospital to die because they do not understand what is happening to them and sometimes they come in such a serious condition that treatment is difficult and lengthy or they can no longer be helped.
SOCIO–CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT
In some parts of Uganda, there are villages whose customs disadvantage the status of women, and for men they are more like property than life partners. Therefore, a woman with, for example, ten children may be left alone because her husband, the breadwinner, leaves her. Then she has nothing to support herself and her children, stays alone pay for their education. If women were already receiving the education they need, they would be able to stand on their own feet better.
IF THEY WERE EDUCATED ENOUGH, THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT
WHY EDUCATE CHILDREN IN UGANDA?
The driving force behind all the action was my trip to Uganda in 2023 to help as a volunteer healthcare worker at Whisper Children’s Hospital and Maternity Hospital. Poverty is present everywhere one looks in Uganda and therefore the need for help is evident at every turn.
Thanks to the trip I got to know a lot of local people and organizations and I knew that by returning to the Czech Republic my help to the locals must not end.
I decided to focus on children’s education, because that is where I feel the need for help most urgently, and I have observed it in the health care environment as well. Human health in Uganda is shrouded in a lot of myths that affect the way adults and children are treated. People believe in superstitions and practices of local healers that are sometimes life-threatening. Let us together give Ugandan children the gift of education, which is the only way towards a better future for Uganda.
