The Challange
WHAT ARE WE UP TO?
We are doing a family challenge to raise funds for orphans in Uganda! We will be doing this by climbing a mountain as a family. Jonathan and I are often looking for ways to involve our girls in missions and needs around the world. We don’t want missions to become something they are just seeing from the sidelines, but that it’s something they are actively part of, in prayer and in deed. So that’s what we are going to do, to climb a mountain raising funds for education!

OUR GOAL
RAISING FUNDS FOR CHILDREN IN UGANDA
CLIMBING FOR EDUCATION
60 pounds is what it costs to send 1 child to school for an entire year in Uganda. For us this seemed like a special and clear goal. The past weeks we have talked a lot and prayed about this, asking ourselves how many kids would we want to send to school? Of course we would want every child to have a chance of going to school! But for now we agreed that it would be brilliant if we could send 30 kids to school!

SUPPORT THIS CHALLENGE
We will be climbing Snowdon at the beginning of May! In the meanwhile, we have already started to train by going for long walks with the girls. What awaits us can be hard, although we do love a good challenge. We would like to challenge you to participate with us financially! The children that we are helping are part of a Project that we were able to visit last year in Uganda. This project is called ‘Orphans Know More’ and has as it’s the main goal to place orphans in families and to help these families take care of these children. They help by raising funds to pay for their school. If you would like to partner up in this challenge you can fill in the form on this page to let us know how you would like to help.

How does it work?
Frequent asked questions:
Orphans Know More is a project that was started years ago by one of the daughters of missionaries from YWAM Harpenden. She was 8 when she heard God spoke to her, telling her that she would take care of orphan kids. To make a long story short, she and her family took this seriously and years later they started the Orphans Know More Charity that operates as a ministry of both YWAM Harpenden and YWAM Uganda.
