Sunday, Sept. 27 Brunch Fundraiser
Twenty Years into the Journey

Jajja's Kids will be hosting an exciting brunch get-together Sunday, September 27 from Noon to 4 PM at Revolution Hall located in Brown's Brewing Co. at 425 River Street, Troy, NY 12180.

Join us for an inspiring afternoon as we reflect on two decades of helping children who once lived on the streets of Uganda build brighter futures through education.

We will be celebrating remarkable achievements, inspiring stories, and a look ahead to the next chapter of our journey.

​Attendance at the event will help provide educational and vocational opportunities, and hope for young people as they pursue their dreams—from primary school to university and beyond.

Jajja's Kids is so grateful for our supporters. You enable us to serve these amazing young people. We hope you will all join us in this celebration...

  Today, eighteen previously homeless children have been part of the program and six Jajja’s Kids are enrolled in university programs studying law, engineering, and pharmacy.
  
• Board Member Scott Reinhart will describe discussions on strategic planning held with Africa staff and the Kids.
  
• Board Members Mary and Steve Kozlowski will offer their perspectives.
