Kuvuka has now been open for 3 months, and is able to make its first charitable donation. The idea is that 10% of all Kuvuka profit goes to charities I have some involvement with. This time Kuvuka will be sponsoring the education of an ex-child soldier in Northern Uganda. I am really excited about being able to make a real difference in the life of someone who has effectively had their childhood stollen, and giving them new opportunities and a new life. If you want to find out more about the war in Uganda in which children were regularly abducted and forced to fight and kill, you can look at a website I put together, which is frankly outdated now, the war is all but over, but gives an idea of what these people have been through. www.stolenchildren.co.uk .
I would like to thank all of Kuvuka’s customers, for making this sponsorship possible, hopefully this is just a start with great things to come.
