Appeal for Support – Provision of School Uniforms and Scholastic Materials for Orphans and Vulnerable Children Fund
Warm greetings from Katumba Parents Humanist Nursery and Primary School in Bundibugyo District, Uganda. In our effort to provide quality education to all children, we have recognized the critical need to equip learners with essential scholastic materials and school uniforms. While tuition is important, these tools are equally vital for effective learning and success. Unfortunately, many of our students — particularly orphans and vulnerable children — lack these basics due to poverty and lack of family support. To address this, we are launching a Scholastic Fund aimed at supporting needy learners with the items they require to learn in comfort, maintain their dignity, and excel in their academics. We are kindly appealing for donations in kind or financial contributions to help us purchase these supplies. Itemized Needs and Costs No. Item Qty per Child Cost per Unit (UGX) Cost per Unit (USD) Total per Child (UGX) Total per Child (USD) Notes 1 School Shoes 1 pair 50,000 UGX $13.16 50,000 UGX $13.16 Durable for 1 year 2 Exercise Books 24 books/year 4,000 UGX $1.05 96,000 UGX $25.26 8 books per term 3 Pens 18/year 500 UGX $0.13 9,000 UGX $2.37 6 pens per term 4 Sketch Pencils 18/year 200 UGX $0.05 3,600 UGX $0.95 6 pencils per term 6 Geometry Set 1 5,500 UGX $1.45 5,500 UGX $1.45 One-time 7 School Bag 1 40,000 UGX $10.53 40,000 UGX $10.53 Lasts 2+ years 8 School Uniform 1 set 35,000 UGX $9.21 35,000 UGX $9.21 Lasts 1 year Sweater 1 20,000 UGX $5.26 20,000 UGX $5.26 Lasts 2+ years 9 Lunch at School 3 terms 40,000 UGX/term $10.53/term 120,000 UGX $31.58 Per year 10 Sanitary Pads (Girls) 9 packs/year 3,500 UGX $0.92 31,500 UGX $8.29 For girls 11 Mattress 1 80,000 UGX $21.05 80,000 UGX $21.05 One-time 12 Blanket 1 60,000 UGX $15.79 60,000 UGX $15.79 Lasts 4+ years Why This Matters • Shoes protect children from infections and give them dignity. • Exercise books, pens, and pencils enable learning and assignments. • Uniforms foster equality and belonging. • Lunch improves concentration and school attendance. • Bedding supports healthy rest, essential for learning. • Sanitary pads ensure girls don’t miss school. These items are not luxuries — they are foundations for education. Without them, many children face ridicule, illness, or drop out altogether. A Call to Generosity We understand that supporting all items for every child may be challenging. However, as the saying goes, “One by one makes a bundle.” You may choose to support one specific item, one child, or contribute towards a general fund. Your contribution — whether large or small — will directly transform a child’s life. Each donor will receive a thank-you letter and a photo of the child(ren) they supported. Together, we can remove the barriers to education, restore hope, and give these children a chance to build a brighter future.

the AI Shame Bank Fund
Using AI isn’t a crime — but it feels illegal in my heart. If you’ve ever felt that little pang of guilt after asking ChatGPT to plan your trip, crank out a Google Slides presentation for work, or even write this very paragraph for your fundraising site — here’s your chance to balance the karmic scales. Your guilt goes straight to grassroots climate justice Deposit $5 in the AI Shame Bank and my employer (Tempus AI, yes, an AI company) will match every donation up to $1,000. That means your $5 instantly becomes $10 for nonprofits funding sustainable, renewable energy solutions — the people working to actually solve the climate crisis. We’re not just planting token trees or keeping duck ponds clean. The AI Shame Bank is about funding big-picture climate innovation. Once we hit the $1,000 match cap, I’ll keep the Shame Bank open so every dollar still goes straight to climate solutions. If we must use AI, let's use it responsibly. That means: Respect creators → Don’t use AI to replace artists. All current art/music models are trained on stolen work. Use AI to explore and research ideas — not as a substitute for human creativity. Don’t waste compute → Don’t sit there cranking out goofy, fake AI videos or “lol random” images. It burns energy and props up a system of exploitation while creating nothing of real value. Protect privacy → Don’t feed sensitive info into chatbots. Stay authentic → Use AI for organizing your thoughts, not for your admissions essay or personal story. Think green → Don’t fire up a giant AI model for something Google could answer in 3 seconds. AI should help people, not replace them — and not waste our planet’s resources. If you’ve leaned on it, toss $5 into the AI Shame Bank and Tempus AI will double it for climate solutions.
