Five Ways to Celebrate C2U’s 5-year Anniversary!
​
Choose your day and your way to
celebrate by the end of February.
1. Spread the Word - share one of our 5-year anniversary posts on Facebook and help us get to 1,000 followers! Every time you share a post, we’ll enter your name in a drawing for a C2U 5-year anniversary commemorative t-shirt! Winner’s name will be drawn on March 1st. We'll send a shirt to one of our lucky new followers too!
2. Join our Connector's Club monthly giving program and we’ll send you a C2U commemorative sweatshirt. Your monthly gift will help us further our mission and make more connections! Gift options include $25, $50, and $100/month; you can join here.
3. Share the story of why you support C2U and why changing lives in Uganda is important to you and your family. It could be about the connection you’ve made with your Far Away Friend or scholarship student, your experience on a C2U See & Serve Uganda mission trip or attendance at a C2U event.. Maybe it’s knowing you helped provide clean water or a safe place to stay for girls in Bubago. We’ll include your 1-2 paragraphs in our monthly newsletter and on social media. A C2U anniversary t-shirt will be coming your way! Send your thoughts to info@connecttouganda.org.
4. Help us launch our new Secondary Scholars Fund! Your donation to this fund will help subsidize tuition fees for students that are in secondary school, where costs are substantially higher than primary school. As our thanks, we'll make sure a C2U anniversary sweatshirt is on its way to you!
​
5. Purchase a table for C2U Trivia Night by February 20th and we'll have a C2U anniversary sweatshirt waiting at your table!
Permanent School Structure Construction
Bishop Charles Bameka of the Lutheran Church of Uganda, led a dedication of the construction project that will result in the first block of the permanent structure for Bubago Lutheran Nursery & Primary School! This block will include three classrooms, offices, storage and a library! This is a big step forward for this community.
Graduation for Far Away Friends
Six women in the tailoring program of the Far Away Friends recently graduated! They were given sewing machines and other supplies. Four of the women will continue to work in the sewing center and two will launch businesses of their own, under the watchful eye of the FAF Administrator. We are so excited about the future for these women!
Poultry Project Launched
The poultry house for the Far Away Friends poultry project was officially dedicated during our recent visit. We are so excited about this partnership with Pennies for Poultry that will allow women to learn the proper way to raise chickens to lay eggs. It's another way for the women to generate income to support their families!
Clean Water for Akia
Connect to Uganda was thrilled to be able to fund a new borehole well for the village of Akia, outside of Lira. This well will provide clean, accessible water for over 600 families. This project is part of C2U's Strength Initiative that brings better health to people in Uganda.
