We make sure that HOREMI receives 100% of the dona­tions. We can person­ally attest to the fact that they make a big differ­ence on the ground. As a small private orga­ni­za­tion (non-profit asso­ci­a­tion), we have the great advan­tage that we know all those involved on the ground person­ally and were able to see the progress for ourselves in Uganda. We are in close contact with those respon­sible and they keep us constantly up to date. This means that we at “Friends of HOREMI” can always rejoice in the fact that together we are really making a differ­ence.        

Would you like to be part of it? Whether you choose a quick one-off dona­tion via Paypal or long-term monthly support by bank transfer — HOREMI is happy to receive liter­ally every euro (or Uganda shilling, which is the local currency).

Two pieces of good news first: Thanks to the help of HOREMI spon­sors, the basic living condi­tions for Kelvin, Shukran (pictured) and their 30 or so HOREMI siblings have improved signif­i­cantly in recent months.

Basic neces­si­ties, such as food and clothing, wages for helpers and school fees for the older kids, are now much more securely financed than just a few months ago. And thanks to the great will­ing­ness to donate, espe­cially before Christmas, we were able to build our own school, which is so impor­tant. That’s great, thank you very much!

Despite this progress, the living condi­tions of HOREMI chil­dren are still precar­ious. The diet is very simple and consists mainly of carbo­hy­drates that make them full. The chil­dren live from hand to mouth, there are hardly any reserves for emer­gen­cies such as illnesses, acci­dents, droughts, floods etc. There is no regular health care. There is no elec­tricity. There is no running water. There is still a lot to do.

Together we can make the children’s lives easier

Promote health: Help to ensure that malaria medica­tion and mosquito nets, worm cures and water disin­fec­tion, vita­mins and vacci­na­tions, educa­tion and medical visits are avail­able.

Let there be light: HOREMI has no access to the public power supply. In order to bring elec­tricity and light to the orphanage and the school, a suffi­ciently large photo­voltaic system is needed. This invest­ment would be incon­ceiv­able without our help.

Water march: Water canis­ters weighing up to 25 kilo­grams have to be dragged around 200 meters and more than 300 house­holds are crowded around a bore­hole next to HOREMI. A second well near the orphanage would relieve the burden on all of them, but is not feasible with our own resources.

Preparing the ground: HOREMI would like to expand the existing, modest agri­cul­ture for self-suffi­ciency and as a source of income. However, the neces­sary funds for land, labor and adapted seeds are unfor­tu­nately (still) lacking.

Educa­tion, educa­tion, educa­tion: The path to a better and self-deter­mined future begins at the school door. That is why the founders of HOREMI are doing every­thing they can to provide their protégés and the chil­dren from the surrounding commu­ni­ties with a high-quality and afford­able school educa­tion. We are doing our best to support HOREMI and invite you to join us.

Thank you for your donation and welcome to the Friends of HOREMI!

Since Uganda is not exactly around the corner finan­cially, money trans­fers are unfor­tu­nately not quite as simple as in the western area. Bank trans­fers are slow and expen­sive, HOREMI cannot process credit card payments, PayPal is not widely avail­able in Uganda and is also quite expen­sive.

PayPal or credit card to hello@horemi.org

The Friends of HOREMI there­fore offer a comfort­able and secure way of payment via our (German) PayPal* account: You donate to us via Paypal or debit/credit card to hello@horemi.org, we forward your dona­tion to HOREMI using transfer services like Worl­dRemit or Wise (see below).
