We ask you to please extend your little act of kindness to give an early Easter Gift in support of disadvantaged youth of Lango in Northern Uganda. Help us to access the 50 percent matching funds from GlobalGiving. Donate to our “GIVE WELDING APPRENTICESHIPS TO 25 YOUTH OF LANGO” project; which was proposed by a young adult, Jimmy Ezra Okello, a valedictorian of our “Mentoring Youth into Innovators Against Poverty” project.
Among the machinery that Innovator Okello needs in order to provide welding apprenticeships and for which we, at CPAR Uganda, are raising funds are:
Welding plant inverter at the cost of US$ 150 or Ug. Shs. 550,000
Welding Angle Grinder at the cost of US$ 190 or Ug. Shs. 700,000
Welding Diesel Generator at the cost of US$ 240 or Ug. Shs. 900,000
Okello is a university graduate from a disadvantaged background. Be that as it may, he is the rare kind who isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty. Watch this one minute video and you will appreciate how Okello is determined to succeed against all odds.
Youth like Okello are scarce and yet are much needed in Uganda of today with the 2nd youngest population in the world. And he is passionate about helping other youth similarly disadvantaged to overcome and get livelihoods for which they can contribute to meeting the basic and genuine needs of their respective households.
