Disaster Strikes Mbiriizi Advanced Primary and Day Care School: Urgent Appeal for $31,250 to Rebuild
HOLMDEL, N. J. – The Mbiriizi Advanced Primary and Daycare School, supported by Sylvia’s Children, faces a dire situation following a catastrophic flood that recently swept across Africa and the Middle East. The same deluge that inundated Dubai has devastated the school, particularly impacting the boys’ dormitory where the school’s 100 male orphans reside and study. While the children are thankfully safe, urgent action is needed to rebuild the dormitory.
The urgency of the situation at the Mbiriizi Advanced Primary and Daycare School cannot be overstated. The flood has left the boys’ dormitory in ruins, jeopardizing the living and learning environment for the orphans. Immediate action is necessary to rebuild and restore normalcy to their lives.
Sylvia’s Children is urgently appealing to the public for assistance in raising $31,250 to rebuild the dormitory. Every dollar counts in this critical endeavor and will go directly to the school. Donations can be made at https://sylviaschildren.org/disaster-strikes-uganda/
For more than two decades, U.S.-based nonprofit Sylvia’s Children has been dedicated to improving the lives of children in Africa, many of whom have been orphaned due to HIV/AIDS. The organization’s remarkable efforts have transformed the Mbiriizi Advanced Primary and Daycare School from a modest campus to a beacon of hope for thousands of children. Through their support, the school has grown from four buildings to an impressive 26, now ranking among the top 100 out of 12,000+ Primary schools in Uganda.
Sylvia’s Children’s contributions include clean water wells, new classrooms, teacher housing, agricultural projects, a library, playgrounds, complete computer lab and much more. Their impact extends beyond infrastructure; they’ve nurtured success stories, such as a recent nursing graduate who has now become our school nurse.
“We cannot stand by while these children’s future hangs in the balance,” said Sylvia Allen, founder of Sylvia’s Children. “Amidst the devastation, our resolve to uplift these children remains unshakable. Their safety and education are non-negotiable. With your support, we can rebuild not just a dormitory, but dreams and futures.”
