“We are proud to be part of the GlobalGiving network and to share our passion for #DoingLittleThingsWithPassion. Our workshops are mostly funded by our own resources with some support from the generous EarlyBird256 Squad. This opportunity will help us expand our impact and reach more students who need our help. Besides providing arts education and free breakfast, we also want to help our students complete their secondary education and beat the odds” Reginah Sanyu, Founder

After enduring one of the longest lockdowns in the world, Uganda is finally opening its schools again. We’re thrilled that many of the country’s children will once again be able to attend classes and receive the education and stimulation they need. In addition to this great news, EarlyBird256 has its own exciting announcement to make — After attending an EarlyBird256-sponsored workshop, a headteacher of a local high school was inspired to do something. The teacher, Ms. Olivia Nambi from Busoga High School, helped secure the new scholarship program for the students.

As we head into the holiday season, we’re preparing for GivingTuesday, which takes place on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. This is a day where people and organizations come together to transform their communities and the world. It’s a day for starting conversations and reflecting on how we can give back. There are many ways to participate in GivingTuesday, and just like the countless sticks that come together to build a nest, small contributions can add up to create an impact that lasts for generations. Check out some of the easy ways you can make a positive impact this GivingTuesday.
