Help us build showers for more than 80 children in Bwindi, Uganda. Fair Start Uganda supports orphaned and vulnerable children at Bwindi Children Empowerment Charity (BCEC) in Buhoma, a village on the edge of Uganda’s Bwindi Impenetrable Forest. As the number of children in BCEC’s care has grown, so has the need for proper washing facilities. We’re raising funds for a sturdy brick washroom building with separate sides for boys and girls. Each side has its own private entrance, two showers, and a laundry area for washing clothing and bedding. The design has been approved by the Kanungu District Physical Planner. Construction will be led by the same local engineer who built the BCEC latrines our donors funded, and her work there was excellent. You can see the approved washroom plans on the Impact page of our website. (The finished latrines are there as well.)  $15,850 will cover construction, international transfer costs, and a small contingency for exchange-rate and material-price swings.  • $50 = 1 of 317 gifts needed to build the washrooms • $100 = 1 of about 159 gifts needed to build the washrooms • $250 = 1 of about 64 gifts needed to build the washrooms • $500 = 1 of about 32 gifts needed to build the washrooms Once funded, the project will take 4–6 weeks. Thank you for helping to build showers and washrooms that will serve children in need for years to come! Financial transparency: Just $50 of the funds raised will go toward related administrative costs, including international wire fees. Any money raised beyond our goal will also help support BCEC.
