6000 Miles
Campaign by Abaana (RCN 102174)
We are looking to raise £20,000 by people pledging to travel at least 6000 miles collectively - the distance from the U.K. to Uganda. We would love for you to partner with us in changing lives in Uganda.

Story

As a family we are going to walk, run, cycle, swim, shuffle or crawl a collective 500 miles. 

We think this is a fantastic opportunity to improve our family's fitness while raising vital funds for children in Uganda - some of them kids we have met who find it hard to sleep because they are so hungry.  

We're looking forward to the challenge (some of us more than others...!!).

Please join us and help to raise £20,000 to support 3 projects in Uganda.

1.  Covid-19 Appeal

Many families in Uganda are struggling due to the lockdown as they are unable to work or sell on what they have grown in their gardens. With no income, they have little to no food. Abaana is working to:

•    Provide emergency food packages (just £50 would cover some of a family's necessities for one month)
•    Urgently support street children

2. Build a School

Abaana has committed to the building of Atukubui Primary School in eastern Uganda.  It costs around £7,000 to build a classroom (eight needed in total).

3.  Choir 3

Choir 3 has been currently postponed to 2022.  During training, Abaana cover the full costs of the new choir’s education, accommodation and paperwork (£450 will pay for the education of a choir child while training).

Thank you! Much love from Scott, Fiona, Ethan, Ashton, Kate & Sally
