ChangeALife Uganda Wins $1000 in Concept Link’s Fundraising Competition.
ChangeALife Uganda entered Concept’s Link’s online fundraising campaign competition. After participating in an educational webinar series from Concept Link, Kathleen Brown with support from Tim Cusack developed an award winning fundraising campaign called “Help Her Sleep Well”.
The story focuses on Najjemba who is a 12 year old student at the St. Lawrence School. Access to water will help improve Najjemba and her fellow students’ health and daily living conditions. Our goal is to raise $12,000 to complete the third phase of ChangeALife Uganda’s water project. This involves connecting the well to the water tower with 1.5 miles of pipe. We have already raised 90% of the funds needed to complete the project. We are so close.
In addition to winning a prize of $1,000 from the Segal Family Foundation, the CALU team learned new skills that will be helpful in planning future campaigns. We are very grateful to the Segal Family Foundation and Concept Link for a wonderful program and the very generous award of $1,000.
