Fundraising has always been a challenge but the supporters of Abba Father's House have proven to be very innovative! As a charity, it has been a challenge to adapt to changing financial circumstances as maintaining and improving services for our beneficiaries is critical.
As you know from the news all over the world about the financial crisis, here at AFH we have been going through a rigorous budget process to ensure that we stretch the pound to enable us to continue to provide an adequate service to the children in our care. For that reason we are trying out many projects such as poultry, growing organic mushrooms for sale, bakery to enable us raise funds locally. If you have any ideas that can help us to create more income generating projects, please let us know. Your financial support will also be much appreciated.
We thank God for auntie Maggie who has taken it upon herself to raise funds for the charity through cake sales, sale of widow’ necklaces. She also visit Uganda regularly encourage widows and the staff of AFH to be positive. If you would like to donate a cake or help us in any other way, please contact Maggie on O7734 388 555.
Widows are making crafts such as necklaces, hats, table mats, hand bags, money purses, chair backs and jewels for sale. Some of their produce are exported UK for sale. The income generated is used for purchasing further material and the rest is given to the widows to enable them meet some of their needs. The widows are starting production Bombay Mix and pastries etc this season to enable them raise more money. We appeal to friends of AFH to continue supporting us so that we can put smiles on orphans and widow’s faces.
We have been holding annual musical concerts to raise money for the charity. Money raised from concerts has helped us to construct the bread bakery, poultry house, installation of electricity etc.
This year, we are looking to do a youth concert although we have no details at the moment. We also hope to hold a wine tasting event in either May or July (by Dave Food), Cake sales, widow’s crafts sales and many others as God will lead us.
We will be very grateful to hear from you with ideas to help us raise funds and also for your generous donations.
Thank you,
Management
