Funding a shallow well for Anthony Bui's birthday

Edit 6/9/2014 –
Thanks so much to everyone who donated. Through this online fundraiser and personal checks, we raised over $2600 to support UVP programs. That is more than TWO shallow wells! Every amount of money helps — thanks so much for your generosity.

Much love,
Anthony

Hello friends.

For my 26th birthday, I am asking you to help me support the work of the Uganda Village Project (UVP), a small international NGO that provides rural villages with health education and services. In the past decade, UVP has worked in 23 villages to improve community health and well-being through access to services, health and behavior change education, and prevention information.

I first worked with UVP in 2009 as a field intern and since 2011 have been a member of the Board of Directors. I’m inspired by the work our staff and volunteers do and value how they collaborate with local community members to effect long-lasting change.

My goal is to raise $1200 – enough to fund a clean water source that will serve hundreds of residents in a village. It’s a concrete way to improve a community’s health. Instead of buying me a well drink this week, help me fund a shallow well! (catchy eh?)

If you’re interested in learning more about UVP, visit ugandavillageproject.org, or hollar at me!

Much love,

Anthony

PS I know it says this is for the Internship Program, but ignore this. Funds will be used to support UVP programming such as the construction of a shallow well.
