I want to start a charity, for kids in Uganda. There, 85% of the population is living off less then 90 cents a day. 66/1000 kids die. 110 000 kids under the age of 14 have HIV/AIDS. I want to donate clothes, books, toys, money for food! Anything anyone is willing to give. Do you have any ideas I could use? VERY VERY appreciated.

Hi Mzbaybe, It depends on how you want to do you fundraising, You can do it online if you have your site or manually. Can you please check out this sites, www.fundraising.co.uk. www.hotelcombined.com/charity. If you have anything you want to ask about charity work and how they operate in Kenya and Uganda feel free to ask. I have worked for charity organizations for a very long time. Good luck Mzbaybe.

I commend your effort and wish there was something I could do to help. I would recommend you join your local freecycle group. It is a yahoo group. Members give away items they no longer want or need. You can also request items you are looking for. Also try the free section of the craigslist in your area. I myself have gotten many items for free or almost free by shopping sales or clearance sections of my local supercenters, pharmacies, and supermarkets. Good luck!

Blessed are your heart, rarely do we see or hear people donate things to the less fortunate. You can probably start by scouting websites where you can donate these things to kids in Uganda. There are also international organization or charities that help specifically Uganda kids, try to coordinate with them so you can be sure your donations would reach the appropriate persons. You can also get referrals from them on what would be the nearest station where you can drop your donations. Good luck!
