It's hard to believe that we are already 16 days into the new year! The preparations for Hope Home continue, and we are now $2,023 away from being able to open.
The online shop is now up and such an easy and efficient way to help provide a safer present, and brighter future to our girls. Many of the needed items have a number next to them, which represent how many more are needed.
One of the items we would like each of our girls to have, is their own outfit. They will choose their outfits from the market which can be anything from jeans and a cute t-shirt, a dress, or a skirt and blouse. Whatever they feel most comfortable and happy with.
The outfits the girls currently have belong to their host family. As a way of humiliating the girls and to 'discipline' them, there have been incidences where the guardian will strip the girl of her clothing, or an article of clothing(such as a t-shirt). This is a way to punish a girl, and remind her of her place in the home, as a servant with no belongings.
We want to counteract this act of cruelty by giving each girl her own new outfit, one that she will choose and keep no matter what the future holds for her.
To be able to provide an outfit for each girl, we need 7 more outfits. These outfits will go to:
Auma Christine, Auma Susan, Athieno Darphine, Awor Winifred, Bukirwa Zaituni, Kwagala Rita, and Nyapendi Betty.
Each outfit is only $5.55. If you would like to purchase an outfit for one of the girls, please visit our online shop. If you would like to purchase all 7 outfits please make a donation of $38.85.
Thank you for helping a girl feel special, and bringing Hope Home one step closer to opening!
