Uweza Holiday Gifts!

Looking for a last-minute, easy-to-purchase, unique holiday gift idea? Give a gift that helps individuals and families living in poverty in Kenya.

We have put together a Holiday Gift Catalog so that donations to Uweza can be given as gifts for the holidays.

Examples include sponsoring a child to play soccer, providing a holiday dinner for a family in Kibera or purchasing chickens for our health program. Gifts start as low as $5 and 100% of your donation will go toward purchasing services and supplies in Kenya. Gift money will not be used for administrative costs.

See the entire catalog HERE.

Ways gifts can be purchased:

1. By check sent to our PO Box: Uweza Aid Foundation, PO Box 1042, Evanston, IL 60204. Please note your gift choice on the check.*
2. Through Paypal. PayPal will prompt you to describe the purpose of your donation. This is where gift choices can be specified.


You can also send a quick email (to info@uweza.org) specifying your gift choice once you've donated.

Once donations are received, we will send you an email with Uweza holiday cards that can be printed and personalized to let gift recipients know how they've helped in Kenya.

*Note: If you donate by check to our PO Box, please send us an email to let us know so that we can email you the cards in time for the holidays.

Please contact us at info@uweza.org with any questions about our holiday gifts and Happy Holidays from Uweza!

Like the Giants or the Steelers or know someone who does?

Faces of Kibera (www.facesofkibera.org) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping orphans in Kibera. Their goal is to create and support a community-based facility outside of Kibera to provide care, education and services to these children. Funds raised by the organization will be spent on housing, as well as nutritional, educational, psychological and medical care, including anti-retroviral treatment for children who are HIV positive.

We have mentioned Faces of Kibera before in our blog and we work together with them on many of our projects.

The organization is auctioning off a LOT of great Giants and Steelers memorabilia and experiences on eBay today (December 8) through Saturday, December 13. 100% of the proceeds from the auctions will go directly toward building a new facility and providing care for orphaned children in Kibera.

The auction is here: http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/teacup86.
