Our final opportunity for partnership

Looking back I am overwhelmed with gratitude and deeply humbled to have played a small part in a much larger story. When I held a fundraiser in our home with a $2500 goal to supply One School with knickers, sanitary pads, and soap for One Year – I had no idea where I was headed!

The impact this work has had directly on well over 14,000 children and indirectly on families and communities is astounding

Because of you, KFNL has also:

• built proper latrines for girls and boys that have vastly improved public health and diminished typhoid (never saw that coming!). Latrines are pumped out regularly which greatly extends their use.
• provided a basic but transformational health and hygiene curriculum that is now taught in our schools that dispels the myths and falsehoods that were common in these villages.
• built and furnished multiple classroom buildings that literally replaced schools that looked like shaky chicken coops with dirt floors.
• built girls dormitory for girls that live too far to walk to school or have unsafe home situations or no home at all.
• built handwash stations at schools that had no way to wash hands (Health’s most basic intervention)
• fought Uganda’s number one killer, malaria, with mosquito repellent soap.
• sent over $750,000 directly to Ugandan partner schools because of your generous giving.
• seen a dramatic increase in number of girls finishing primary school and qualifying for secondary school.

As I shared with you early this year, Knickers for New Life will come to an end on December 31, 2026. It has been a tremendous honor to work alongside you to bring greater opportunity and better outcomes for children in Uganda. YOU have helped to change the future in such tangible ways at our partner schools.  Thank you for your generosity and encouragement in this work. Join us in praying that the parents and schools will continue to value and provide for the needs of the girl-child.

As you consider your year-end giving, please consider a last gift to KFNL. Every dollar in our account on December 31 will go in a last gift to our partner schools with over 3500 students for health and hygiene work.

Let’s finish strong and with grateful hearts together,
