We want to thank you for your effort and contribution. Starting a fundraising campaign - whether online through tools like www.gofundme.com or off line by collecting money directly – is a powerful way to make a direct impact on the lives of children living in the slums in Uganda. 22STARS foundation enables children to go to school, which is the best way to fight poverty and disease.
