New Blog: Update from Leah in Ug...
New Goal: $10,000.00

Musana means "sunshine" in the local Igangan dialect of Lusoga.

The Musana Orphanage is being driven primarily by three dynamic young women from Colorado (Andrea, Leah and Sally) who saw the plight of 150 orphans who were at risk of being put back out on the street and decided to start an orphanage to provide a humane living environment, access to education and to give them a hope in a bright future.

In the short term, your contributions would go directly to this small and lean organization to provide to the orphans food, shelter and education and fund medical services and supplies.

Musana is a budding and ambitious project that has a long-term vision of empowering these children to be self-sufficient through financial independence and a solid education. The plan is to eventually move to a permanent location on land that is owned by the orphanage that could also provide crops or resources to make crafts to eventually sell and build a revenue stream for the orphanage. The crops could also be their local food supply.

The Musana Orphanage is looking for sponsors interested in partnering with them long term by "adopting" an orphan with a monthly donation of $45CDN a month.

My personal goal to see the children (Andrew, Salim, Sowed, David, Rebecca, Maria and Emmanuel) that I got to know quite well while I was there, find sponsors who are interested in investing into their lives, not just monetarily but through relationship building either via long-distance or even in-person.

Even if you aren't ready to make a long-term commitment  a one-time or annual donation, can still make a big difference.

A donation through the GiveMeaning site will provide you with a tax-receipt from a Canadian registered charity doing work in Uganda.  US donors are advised to give directly to Musana through ELI in order to get a US tax receipt, go to musanachildrenshome.weebly.com for more details.

Thank you for your generous and giving spirit. Your involvement will make a direct and positive impact on the lives of these beautiful children.

Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I'd be happy to provide you with more details.

Also, you can refer to my travel blog for more info:

Thanks again!
