Give
Give to the Desire Kids
Sponsor a child, or give to the funds that stand behind them.
Sponsor a child
As the children grow, so does the cost of their basic needs. School fees go up, and they need more nutritious food, sanitary products and health care. From 2022 until this year, sponsorships covered all of their basic costs. They no longer do, so sponsorships are now $30, $60 and $120 a month.
Renews each month. Cancel anytime.
Awaiting sponsorship
Lubega Kasozi Shafik
- Age 7
He loves playing with animals like dogs and cats, and dreams of becoming an animal trainer.
Co-Sponsorship
Shares the expense with another. Two co-sponsors together provide one child's full basic life support.
Full Sponsorship
Provides one child's full basic life support: Housing, Food, Educational Fees & School Supplies, Sanitary Products, and Basic Healthcare.
Medical Sponsorship
All of the above for one child, plus essential medical care for chronic health challenges.
Reserves and funds
Team Lwanga Sickle Cell Reserve
Sickle Cell hero Lwanga Sillaje is an inspiration to us all. Lwanga has Sickle Cell Disease, and we never know when an attack will come. This reserve is held for his care, so that when one comes, the help is already there.
He plans to attend nursing school, so he can help other children with Sickle Cell. Join Team Lwanga for as little as $3 a month.
A single gift.
The Emergency Reserve
Our Emergency Reserve helps us bridge the gaps in everything from food emergencies, school fees and supplies, as well as healthcare and hygiene.
It is also our reserve for medical and other unforeseen emergencies, so that we no longer have to put out calls for urgent support when a crisis arrives.
A single gift.
The Goloba Amazzi Fund
Amazzi means water. In Goloba’s honor, $35 buys 200 liters, about 53 gallons, of clean drinking water. Enough to supply all 33 kids for a whole month.
Since this campaign began, we have eliminated all cases of typhoid in our family.
A single gift.
Birthdays, holidays, and above and beyond
Sponsorship covers a child’s everyday needs. This is for the days that ask for something more: a birthday, a holiday, a milestone, any occasion where a little extra would mean the world.
Give any amount, and tell us who it is for or what the occasion is.
Four acres of farmland
Land of our own, so that we can grow our own food, sustain the children, and sell produce as a means of income for the organization. $11,000 funds a full acre. Any amount moves us closer to the land.
A single gift.
Payments are processed securely by Stripe. Recurring gifts and sponsorships can be cancelled at any time. Fee-covering amounts are an estimate of standard card processing costs.
Running campaigns
Standing with Bugingo
Our founder and director, Bugingo “Desire” Moses, is in the hospital after 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.
Moreen is mending
Moreen had surgery for fibroadenoma breast tumors and is home now, recovering well.
Her medical bill is paid in full. This campaign is complete.
Thank you to all of Moreen’s heroes who made this happen.
Join our boards
Our Advisory Board is open to anyone, anywhere in the world, and we are looking for dedicated supporters to take on three roles: Fundraising Campaign Coordinator, Sponsorship Coordinator, and Social Media Manager.
Our Board of Directors governs Desire and is being formed now. Under Ugandan NGO law, every director must be a Ugandan citizen.
Thank You to Our Growing Global Family of Donors!
00179 people and organizations have stood with these children since 2022.
Every gift on this list became food, school fees, medicine, or clean water for a child who needed it.
