The Good Neighbor Program

GICF is seeking child sponsorships and general contributions to fund Lulwanda Children's Home operations, projects and future expansions. Your generous support will help GICF assist the children of AIDS-stricken East Africa.

Operating Costs:
GICF needs to raise funds to cover ongoing operating costs at Lulwanda Children's Home, as it continues to grow. Your donations will ensure that we can provide a loving home and excellent care to the 90 children presently at Lulwanda.

Projects:
In addition, Lulwanda has several projects which we intend to complete in 2010. A donation designated for one of these projects (or a portion of one of these projects) would make a huge improvement to the long term future of Lulwanda:

  • Purchase and install a solar powered pump in the water well, allowing utilization of this inexpensive water source in the LCH system ($6,000).
  • Purchase solar panels to eliminate dependence on the national electrical grid and reduce electricity bills.  Total cost is $24,000 half of which has already been donated.  
  • Build a simple house at our 10 acres of farmland, providing a home for a local farmer who will be hired soon to grow corn, rice and other food crops for Lulwanda ($10,500).
  • Build 2 "hostels" to house 20 boys and 20 girls. This will allow us to expand from the current 90 children to a total of 130. The cost for the two buildings is estimated at $120,000.

You may donate by mailing us a check (see Contact Us for address) or donate online using a secure server.

Funds given to GICF will be directly used to benefit the children through the operation of LCH, as GICF has no paid staff outside of Uganda. Approximately 98% of GICF funding goes to Lulwanda, and about 2% to administration and fundraising expenses in the USA. All donations are tax deductible in the USA and tax receipts are issued annually.
