Cheers to a Great Year

Holidays are restorative. They’re a time for us to slow down, consider what’s important, and spend time with friends and family. In 2021, we all rediscovered our normal; these family and respite times have been even more critical.  

 

This year was a year of growth in Bolingo Village as well; we are happy to report that we have had a fantastic year! In 2021 we:   

  • Added new houses to double our capacity.  

  • Provided over 37,000 nutritiously balanced meals. 

  • Expanded our farm operations (traditional crops and livestock).  

  • Hired two tutors to give our children, many of whom have never attended school, a needed and better educational support.  

  • Hired a pastoral team to care for the children’s spiritual and emotional needs.  

  • Employed 30 community members a fair wage in a country where three in four people live on less than $1.90 per day. 

  • Read over 365 bedtime stories, played countless soccer games and make-believe, and kissed every boo-boo.   

 

To create a legacy of change, Bolingo Village must generate the necessary funds to offset operations. To help us get there, our founders have committed to covering all operating expenses – but our programs need your support! Over the next year, we want to do many things, build more houses, double the number of children in Bolingo Village--AGAIN, and provide more community medical services.  

 

The children of Bolingo village and its supporters would greatly appreciate if you joined our effort to create a life for these children. By making an investment in their lives you are not only impacting them today but for generations to come and transforming a whole community. 

  • A $100 donation will help support enrichment activities for the children at Bolingo Village. 

  • A $300 donation buys and supports a chicken or goat for a year – giving children a sustainable source of protein. 

  • A $1,500 donation sponsors one child at Bolingo Village for a year! 

  • A $3,000 donation feeds one Bolingo Village Family three balanced meals a day for a year. 

  • Welcome a new family of 9! Only $35,000 to build a home for 9!
