A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Generous Donors
At Bwindi Eco Children Uganda (BECU), we are continuously reminded of the incredible generosity and kindness of our donors. Your unwavering support has brought joy, hope, and transformation to our students, teachers, and families.
A Special Christmas Gift: New Shoes for Every Child
This past Christmas was a truly special one, thanks to the Gibson Family’s incredible generosity. Their heartfelt donation provided 160 pairs of shoes and 320 pairs of socks to our orphans and vulnerable children—many of whom previously walked barefoot or wore torn shoes.
The joy on their faces as they unwrapped their brand-new shoes was indescribable. Parents and guardians were overwhelmed with gratitude, knowing their children could now walk to school comfortably and with dignity. This was more than just a Christmas gift—it was a symbol of care, love, and hope for the future.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making this Christmas unforgettable!
Goat Day: A Gift That Keeps Giving
Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, we celebrated another successful Goat Day, distributing 5 goats to specific sponsored children. Additionally, our children’s farm contributed 20 more goats as part of our Pass-On Gift Initiative.
Through this initiative, when a goat gives birth, the first offspring is returned to the program and passed on to another child in need. Since its inception, over 80 goats have been gifted, providing families with a sustainable source of nutrition and income.
These goats are not just animals—they are life-changing assets, empowering families with food security, financial stability, and opportunities for a brighter future.
Mark your calendars! Our next Goat Day will be held on January 1, 2026. Thank you for being a beacon of kindness and transformation in our community.
Honoring Our Young Leaders: King & Queen of Bwindi
We are proud to announce that Katusiime Fortunate and Duncan have been crowned King & Queen of Bwindi Eco Children/Bwindi Junior School for 2024!
These outstanding students have demonstrated exceptional leadership, kindness, and dedication to our school community. As they graduate from Primary 7 and embark on their next journey at Brilliance High School, we celebrate their achievements and the values they uphold.
Congratulations to our young leaders—we cannot wait to see the great things you will accomplish!
Donor of the Year: The Gibson Family
On behalf of the entire BECU community, we extend our deepest gratitude to The Gibson Family, our Donor of the Year. Your generosity has transformed lives in profound ways.
Your incredible support in funding the boys’ dormitory, now home to 60 students, and the staff housing for six teachers has been life-changing. These facilities have provided:
- A safe and nurturing home for our boys to sleep, study, and dream of a brighter future.
- A dignified living space for our teachers, fostering stability and a stronger school community.
Beyond these physical structures, your generosity has instilled hope, security, and a sense of belonging in our students and educators. We are honored to have you as part of our journey and look forward to celebrating many more milestones together.
Thank You for Being the Light of Bwindi
Your kindness and compassion continue to uplift our children, families, and educators. Every gift you give—whether big or small—creates ripples of change that will last for generations.
From all of us at Bwindi Eco Children Uganda, thank you for believing in our mission and for being a part of our story.
