Barb's Home of Angels Orphanage

A Home of Angels Orphanage for children with HIV and AIDS construction project in Uganda! The needs are great but the cause is greater!

  • Barb and the girls from the local community are weeding to clean up the yard. These are the workers' kids who are together with their parents also helping to get this place going.
  • Barb said: "The kids you see here are doing something never allowed. They are wasting it (water). But we saw them having so much fun and laughing for the first time ever, we really made it a big deal."
  • Barb said: "Little Joseph lying on the floor with the teddy bear is dying of HIV. We gave two bags of blood and this is keeping him alive for now. He has no one and the neighbor is watching him for now until we open."
  • Barb said: "These girls only have a 91 y.o. grandpa, who cannot afford to feed them. They have been supported by us and will be living in the orphanage."
  • A Hug.
  • The hearts filled with hope for a home.
  • Girls brought a rooster for Barb to thank her for their new dresses they received from her.
  • Climbing a tree and having fun in a cornfield
  • Children of Uganda
  • New clothes gifted to the community kids. Look how proud they are.
  • Children with goats. Barb hopes they will have about 50 goats for the orphanage.
  • Wall around the orphanage is coming up
  • Without the wall
  • Barb said: "The water was put in recently by the sale of Laury's cow (read more follow the link). We are pumping 5000 litres an hour so we share with the community. Eventually, the 5000 litre tank will be theirs and the roof runoff water will go into a pipe, under the wall and to their own pumping station on the outside of the wall."

Short Summary

I am Natalia Beard and i decided to create this campaign to support Barbara Giraud with her Orphanage for kids with HIV and AIDS project in Jinja, Uganda. First i heard about her as a "Banana Lady" who decided to raise money by baking and selling her banana bread to build an orphanage in Uganda. Then i met with Barb to donate some books for the kids and after that i kept thinking about her amazing willpower and heart of gold wondering what can I do to support her. The Home of Angels project is already on its way and Barb needs $17,000 to finish construction of the perimeter wall around the orphanage territory to keep kids safe. She is planning to travel to Uganda in December 2012 and I hope the outcome from this campaign will give her the money she needs to complete the construction.

What We Need

$17,000 is the goal for this campaign, exact amount of money needed to complete the construction. All money raised will go directly to the orphanage, I do not get any money for this.

The Impact

Please read Barb's blog (see link to Blog) to understand the impact this project has and will continue to have on the lives of the children affected by HIV and AIDS. The orphanage will provide medical care, education, safe home, and many positive experiences they never had before. This orphanage will save children’s lives.

Other Ways You Can Help

Visit Barb's blog and see whether you can buy a loaf of Banana Bread she bakes in her home every day.

Talk with Barb and see whether you can visit the orphanage one day.

Spread the word and let others know about this project and this amazing woman.

THANK YOU!
