Please help support this cause and instill hope in the hearts and lives of those less fortunate. You can make a difference and provide an educational opportunity for a child for as little as $20.00 per month. Yes, you can make a lasting positive change in a child’s life!

Engeye Scholars: How it Began!

The Engeye Scholars program was inspired by the courage and strength of Susan Nabukenya. Susan is a 14-year-old Ugandan girl who came to Boston this past summer for life-saving plastic surgery at Boston Shriners Hospital. Four years ago, Susan was burned from her chest to her toes when she stepped too close to a cooking fire and her kerosene-stained dress ignited. She had lived with burn contractures and open wounds since the fire and she was forced to drop out of school. She had lost all hope. Through Engeye and its supporters, Susan not only received life saving treatment but she returned to Uganda and was enrolled in school for the first time in four years. The friends and supporters she met during her stay in the United States have committed to paying for primary school education costs upon her return to Uganda. This education will provide Susan with additional hope for the future. This all important educational opportunity cost is minimal in comparison to the costs of education in the United States. For as little as $1,000.00 per year, Susan can enroll in a good school and have funds available to pay for her supplies and related expenses.

From Susan’s experience grew a desire to help other children in Susan’s village receive hope through education. Upon meeting Susan and John Kalule, who accompanied her on her journey to the United States, many of their new United States friends and supporters wanted to give other children in the village the gift of education.Other children, including John’s son Jeffrey, will now receive the gift of education through sponsorship. There are many more children of Ddegeya who can receive promise and hope through education if you choose to provide it for them. Please consider becoming a sponsor for a child in Ddegeya.
