ALICE’S JOURNEY + GOALS
Alice’s journey started when she began teaching primary school out of her backyard. Today, her school serves over 400 children & their families, and she has built a pathway to economic self-reliance through secondary initiatives. Her school is one of the top-rated programs in the regions.
Alice needs to expand capacity with facilities and teachers in order to meet the demand of her 2:1 model. She takes in two paying students for every low-income student. The construction of new classrooms will allow her to expand services during a critical time in her country after many schools have been closed.
InGRID VILLASEÑOR
Ingrid’s master plan is to build a school, offering holistic education to hundreds of children in her local community. Ingrid has, for nearly a decade, provided children a quality education, but without a consistent facility, income-generating projects that would ensure her long-term success are on hold.
Ingrid’s goals for farming and tourism — all income-generating projects, need seed funding to get started. As families in her community and across Guatemala seek asylum abroad, she believes there couldn’t be a more important time to both cultivate the next generation and create jobs in her local community.
TEOPISTA KWIKIRIZA
Teopista is the operational mind that has nurtured Suubi’s growth — from an empty field to a bustling medical campus offering life-saving services to 400,000 people. The center has a special focus on providing children and expecting mothers valuable care. Funding is needed to ensure the new antenatal clinic is staffed and able to operate.
The health center has not been able to fully open due to a need for funding. The center has the potential to serve thousands more and serve as a model for other rural communities across Uganda and through Sub-Saharan Africa at large.
