Where Will the Money Go?

One housing unit is $7000. If we raise $7000 or less, 100% of those funds will go toward building the very first housing unit for the orphans.

If we raise more than $7000, we will use the excess to cover Autumn & Christina's expenses for the climb (park fees, hiring guides, renting equipment, etc). This excludes our airticket. That already came out of our own pocket. 

After the $7000 for the first housing unit + our climbing expenses, all other funds will go towards GHM and the 2nd housing unit...then the 3rd...then the 4th...and so on.

* As you very well know, exact figures/plans may change because of, well, life and its charming habit of giving us unpredictable circumstances. Whatever surprises may come our way, be rest assured, at the end of the campaign/climb, we will send you a financial report telling you exactly where your funds were allocated. 

 

 

Give Once And It Will Last Forever (theoretically)

It's simple: GHM pledges to use funds wisely and appropriately. GHM school will teach 300 students. Tuition from 150 village students will pay for the school and the orphanage. This means 150 orphans will receive free education, housing, food, and loving care. 

To get to this point, GHM actually needs BUILDINGS. They've already built one school and classes are already in session. GHM as an organization is still on "Phase One" of their building project. They are raising funds to build additional school buildings. We are working ahead to fund "Phase Two," which is building housing units for the orphans. We are raising 15 housing units for 150 orphans. Let's get these buildings up! Once the buildings are up, the tuition from the students should take care of the rest. 

 

 

About the Friends 

Christina & Autumn graduated together in 2012 from Valley Forge Christian College with degrees in Intercultural Studies. 

Africa changed us in a much needed way. It shifted our perspective on what we thought of happiness, wealth, and...well, how we wish to spend our lives. Overall, our career paths/futures have been changed by what we saw and learned. We want to live in a such a way that enable others to live more fully. 

Autumn will live in Busia and work with GHM for 7 months (September-March). Christina will do the same for 6 weeks (September-October). We've already bought our plane tickets and are SO excited to meet the students. Please note: Your contribution will not go towards our plane tickets or living expenses. If we raise more than $7000, your contribution will go toward the KiliClimb
