How can I stay updated about the intern’s work in Uganda?
Many interns choose to write a personal blog while they are in Uganda. However, their internet access will be sporadic, so you may choose to follow UVP’s blog at http://ugandavillageproject.blogspot.com/ which will highlight intern stories throughout the summer.
Is this donation tax deductible?
Yes. Because our interns are an integral piece of UVP’s projects, any contribution made toward their program fee is tax deductible. You will receive an email from SeeYourImpact with the tax information.
What happens if an intern raises more than the $2,000 program fee?
Any additional donations above $2,000 can be applied to costs associated with their internship such as vaccinations or airfare.
How do I give to a specific intern?
Scroll down this page to the “Support a fundraiser” section. Click on the photo of the intern you want to support. From their personalized page, you can make a donation that will go directly to their program fee.

Fund a Shallow Well for Max Schorer's Birthday!

Hi Friends and Family,

As many of you have likely seen on Facebook, my 26th birthday is rapidly approaching. The truth is that I own way too much stuff, have enough money, and possess a biological predisposition towards alcoholism (damn you genetics!). So instead of buying me Fireball shots or giving me stuff this weekend, 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.

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, and will probably be more of a net positive to the world than my (unsuccessful) attempts to hit on girls this weekend.

If you’re interested in learning more about UVP, visit ugandavillageproject.org, or feel free to contact me and I’ll see what I can do. Thanks again for your support, and remember: I will value your friendship in direct proportion to your donation.

Best,
Max

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. Also thank you (Dr.?) Anthony Bui for the inspiration.

About the Uganda Village Project

Since 2003, Uganda Village Project has been working with the people of Iganga to promote public health and sustainable development in the rural communities of this marginalized district in southeast Uganda. We work at a village-by-village level to address the most pressing healthcare concerns of each community, including malaria, HIV and STIs, household sanitation and hygiene, family planning access, obstetric fistula awareness and repair, and provision of clean water through shallow wells.

For more information please see our website at www.ugandavillageproject.org.

Tell Maxwell why you this cause!
