We don't receive any State funding so our programs entirely depend on; flexible subscriptions by some of our members, generous donations from friendly individuals, and organizations both locally and internationally. We would not have moved any step ahead without generous people like you; therefore to move further critical steps forward, we need your support in terms of finance, in-kind, and knowledge.

Where does my Donation go?
What seems to be small money by others makes a world of difference when given to those who know first hand their need. When we work together, small donations add up, for example, £10 can not buy a reasonable meal in the USA, UK, CANADA but this same money can help to purchase scholastic materials for a child in Masaka, £50 can help to purchase materials for five, etc.
In addition, your donation can enable YWAV to conduct training sessions in human rights, HIV/AIDS, etc Once you make a donation to Youth with a vision, we shall update you on how your money was used.

Donate a scholastic Material
Please partner with us to change this now. Donate a scholastic material and you provide an opportunity for a disadvantaged child to access school and have hope for a brighter future.
Did you know this? In our community, there are many children from poor financial backgrounds who miss out on school due to lack of what many of us refer to as simple scholastic materials such as a Note/Exercise Book, Pen, Ruler, Geometry Set, Crayon, Ream of Paper, a Pencil, etc.
Besides tuition, children from poor financial backgrounds will never have scholastic materials on time. They will always report to school late and are often sent home for scholastic materials. This means that they will always miss out on the curriculum which affects their education potential.
This is what your donation will provide:
-
£1/$ 1 / €1 provides 7 pens for writing notes.
-
£1 /$ 1 / €1 provides 4 notebooks (96 pages ) for lower classes.
-
£1/$ 1 / €1 provides 1 notebook (counter book), upper classes.
-

OUR WISH LIST

The children and youth we work with come from a very needy community in Uganda. The community has additional challenges of unemployment, incapacitated teen mothers and elderly people, HIV/AIDS orphans, and vulnerable children.

These children have different needs ranging from food, school fees, and shelter to clothing, shoes, bedding, and skills.
