Share The Dignity
LJ Hooker Nerang started collecting goods for women in need in 2018, with Jane Doogan collecting personal items through the office in 2019.
“This is something that is so close to my heart” Jane said
“There are women on the streets that use newspaper or old socks because they simply can’t afford pads or tampons. Sometimes the choice has to be made between eating and sanitary items.”
In 2019, LJ Hooker confirmedShare the Dignity as its new charity partner.
Uganda Kids
While some of our friends in Masaka, Uganda, are poor by western standards they have an incredible faith and love of life.
They are hopeful and cheerful regardless of their circumstances. Some of them are nurses, teachers, farmers, tradesmen, business people and unemployed. Some exist on $1 a day.
It only takes $130 to educate a child for a year. If you would like to help Jane towards her goal, give her a call on 0413 872 972 or email her at jdoogan.nerang@ljh.com.au
Our vision is: “kids finish school”.
We believe that one way to break the poverty cycle in which many find themselves in Uganda is through education.
A donation of $5 per fortnight is enough to pay school fees, provide lunch at school and a new uniform every year.
This is a public fundraising program and you have been made aware of the plight of these children in the hope that you might consider giving them a helping hand.
Uganda Kids is a registered Public Benevolent institution with the ACNC and a Deductible Gift Recipient approved by the Australian Taxation Office.
It takes only $130 to educate a child for a whole year.
