After visiting Uganda in March 2022, we realised there was a real need for beds for the children. 

Imagine 3 children sleeping on the dirt floor on a scrap of foam no bigger than a coffee table. With no sheets, blankets or mosquito nets, not only are the children not able to sleep well, but they are also prone to disease such as malaria.

The benefits of a good night's sleep on education are numerous. Increased focus, concentration, memory, creativity, decision making, emotional stability, just to name a few.

On July 22nd, our Co-Director, Ginny Tracy and her 13 year old son, George Tracy, will be travelling to Uganda where they will be sleeping on a foam mattress on a dirt floor with no sheets and no blankets for 2 weeks. They will be keeping a video diary and updating social media of how their sleep is being impacted by the lack of comfort and warmth. They will also be interviewing local families about their sleeping situation and how they feel it affects their every day life.

We are asking school children to sell their unwanted toys, games, clothing or other items. This promote sustainability as these toys and games will still have a lot of life left in them!  We often take our possessions for granted, but even a game sold for £5 can make a huge difference!

**BONUS** if you donate enough money for a set of bunk beds (£250 including beds, mattresses, blankets, sheets and mosquito nets), we will deliver them live (via zoom) for you to see the difference your donation has made and to hear from the family what a change it will make to their lives!

Our goal is to raise enough money for the children of CRMI Children of Hope to have bunk beds with mattresses, blankets, sheets and mosquito nets.

Every donation helps, no matter the size. Thank you for supporting the children of CRMI Children of Hope!
