You all know that I struggled a lot in school, eventually dropping out at 15, and I had to discover my own way of learning.

So literacy is a big deal to me, which is why I am so proud of the project this community funded to bring literacy to our teen moms and girls at Ten Eighteen Uganda in 2021.

So far, we’ve had over 120 girls in the program, and they’ve learned to read, write, speak English, and do basic math. They’ve also learned problem-solving and creativity.

They love to be in videos showing off their language skills (check out 1018’s social media).

What better gift can we give these girls from Uganda’s largest slum?

The 2023 fundraiser has launched and is already more than 50% funded. My goal for the Expat Money Community is to raise at least $10,000, which will fund it for the entire year of 2024. 

Rent, salaries, furniture, equipment, books, supplies, electricity, security, lunch every day… for a whole year for 60 girls.

Last year, we raised over $6,000, so I know I can count on you to jump in and help.

We have a dedicated link for our community to donate, which is fast and easy. 100% goes to the project, and Ten Eighteen Uganda is a 501c3, so there are tax advantages if you’re in the US, too.

Hope I can count on you for this important project,

PS. For those who don't know, 1018 Uganda is our charity of choice at Expat Money. I sit on the board of directors for this non-profit, and 100% of donations go towards helping the girls in Uganda. I don't take a salary from my position at 1018, and I donate my own time and money to these projects. It's a project I am very passionate about, and I appreciate your support a lot.
