I will be returning to Uganda June 2026. I am called to support Raise the Roof Academy’s school kitchen that prepares meals for approximately 2,000 students daily. I am working to improve their food preparation systems with proper tables, 3-compartment sinks, and workflow.
My goal is to raise $10,000:
Travel Support - $4,500
Travel, housing and transportation to Uganda to implement this phase. On-the-ground assessment and planning for future phases. Hands-on support to ensure equipment is properly placed and utilized.
Sponsor a Table - $500 (4 Tables)
Stainless steel prep tables for safe, elevated food preparation. Reduces the need to prepare food at ground level. Improves efficiency and workflow in the kitchen. Direct investment in how food is prepared every day.
Sponsor a Sink - $700 (4 total: 2 @ Kitchen and 2 @ Student Washing Areas)
Stainless steel washing stations for proper sanitation. Safer food handling practices. Health and safety for both students and kitchen staff. Foundational for cleanliness and long-term kitchen sustainability.
Dish Drying Racks - $350 (6 total: 4 @ Kitchen and 2 @ Student Washing Areas)
These racks support safe air-drying of plates, cups, silverware, and cutting boards after washing. Because they will sit outside, we are prioritizing durable metal racks that can handle moisture better than wood and support cleaner, safer kitchen workflow.
Support Tools & Supplies - $250
Thermometers, cutting boards, knives, prep tools, and essential kitchen equipment. Small items that make a significant difference in safety and consistency
