Review for Hands4uganda, Pocatello, ID, USA
I have been a part of this organization since its beginning and I cannot believe the growth and expansion that has occurred over the past 10 years. Every dollar is used responsibly and makes a world of difference for the community H4U serves in Uganda. I have seen firsthand how much my sponsorship has changed not only a students life, but her families life. When in UG I learned that Immaculate, lived with a small two room home with five siblings, and a 2 year old cousin. All were taken care of by their grandmother. They slept on the floor together, using mosquito nets H4U had given them years ago as blankets and cardboard with old clothes as mattresses. The only furniture in the house was a small 18"x18" table. For less than $500 I was able to have these bunkbeds made, purchase mattresses, sheets, a table, chairs, storage chest, and a new stove, cooking and eating utensils. Now Immaculate and her entire family of 7 sleeps well and can live a more comfortable life. If you are looking for a real experience in service, even from a world away, this is an organization you won't be disappointed with. And if you get the chance to go to Uganda. GO.
