Urgent

Standing with Bugingo

Our founder and director, Bugingo “Desire” Moses, is in the hospital. Severe malaria affected his kidneys and his blood pressure and led to a transient ischemic attack. A GoFundMe is raising $5,000 for his hospital bills and treatment.

We did it

31 of 33 Desire Kids are sponsored today. Two are awaiting sponsorship.

These sponsorships fully cover each child's basic living expenses:

  • Housing
  • Food
  • Education fees & supplies
  • Health care
  • and more

What comes next

Four acres, and a school of our own

Now our task is to acquire 4 acres of land so we can fulfill our vision of becoming self-sufficient through farming, build a residential school for our current and future Desire Kids, and create a reserve for emergencies.

By investing in DESIRE CHILD CARE ORGANIZATION today, you will help us grow our foundation to become completely self-sufficient through agriculture.
