Back-to-school fund for Atieno
Atieno won a place at the Mbale Selective School but the family cannot afford the uniform, books and laptop required.
Updates from Awino
Thank you all. We're at 82% now ($136). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for school uniform and shoes is now scheduled.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($86 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Mbale: I made the first payment toward textbooks and workbooks. We're at 42% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
