Hakuna Matata

Hakuna Matata.
It means no worries.
What would life be like in Lugazi, Uganda if they had no worries?  If they didn't have to worry about having a job to make money to keep food on the table?  If they didn't have to worry about finding shelter to sleep under if homeless?  If they didn't have to worry about trying to survive for just one more day - living life one day at a time, never knowing if they will be alive for tomorrow?

HELP International's aim is to fight poverty and empower people.  We try to make Hakuna Matata somewhat of a reality for them.  We want these people to have no worries.   We want them to feel like they have control of their life and that they don't have to live life day by day, hoping to have enough money to feed their family, or hoping to live for tomorrow.
We want to change and improve their lives.

That is why we are here, right?
The summer is over halfway over.  We have one more month to make ripples.  Ripples that start small at first, but then grow.  Grow and grow until it makes a change in the lives of these amazing people.  We are here to start these ripples.  Ripples to create Hakuna Matata for the people.
