Team Up with BBiUganda today!

A few bucks can save lives in Uganda. I know it is a trite thing to say but for the cost of a Starbucks coffee a life was saved in Uganda during my one of my first trips. While praying with patients at the Tororo Hospital we came across a young man in a great deal of pain. He had been injured on his job but didn’t have relatives in the area and was too poor to pay for his prescribed antibiotics. The infection was spreading rapidly. It happened that I had a $5 bill in my pocket. I gave it to our partner, Eric Sabiiti, who was able to purchase the medicine for him. I later found out the patient recovered and was able to return to his job.

We have many stories like this. One shouldn’t think that big donations are the only ones that count. Right now, some school children are collecting spare change for our Give Water…Give Life clean water project. A Densani water bottle filled with nickels, dimes, and quarters adds up to about $60. A hundred school children doing this can provide a deep-water well to the village of Kobwin, Uganda

When your family or friends have a birthday, why not consider giving a female goat to an orphan in their name. One female goat ($60) can turn into five or six in a couple of years, providing nutritious milk and a business of selling excess milk in the local market. In the future, a herd of animals, which started with one female goat, can be sold off to pay for high school and university fees.

Believe me this works, I’ve seen it with my own eyes.

The examples are endless.

• Check with your employer to see if they have a Matching Funds program.

• Turn an upcoming athletic event at work into a fundraiser

• Members of local service clubs can conduct easy to administer dinners at local restaurants that benefit Burning Bush or one of our special projects.

• A monthly giving program can be setup through our website using your PayPal account or by using your credit card in a security-safe way.

Isn’t it more fun to give than to receive? More stuff, more storage, more insurance, more waste…

Especially when you know 100% of the gift will get to its intended purpose and reported back to you through our website and newsletters.

There are many ways that students are already involved with us

• AWANA grade school students at Christ Community Church (El Centro) have filled water bottles with nickels, dimes, and quarters. Each bottle can provide up to $60 per bottle. 120 of these bottles can provide a clean water well for a Ugandan village.

• The Kiwanis sponsored Key Clubs of El Centro and Imperial High Schools have organized with a pancake breakfast at Applebee’s in support of clean water.

• Church Youth groups have helped us put on fundraiser dinners.

If you are working with a youth group looking to “do good” through community involvement, we’d like to be a part of that. Please give us a call at 760-604-6310

Does your church have a mission’s fund? We’d love to speak with them. Several local churches are supporting Burning Bush in this manner.

We have found another good way to involve churches is to hold a chicken picnic lunch after Sunday services. A good time of fellowship occurs, we get to introduce Burning Bush to the congregation, and proceeds are applied to our various projects or perhaps a specific one that the church prefers to support.

Many churches hold annual mission/ministry fairs. Burning Bush can increase the awareness of what we are doing in Africa in this fun and festive way. Please include us if your church has a Missions Fair!

Thank you so much for your support!

A number of local businesses support Burning Bush through their business.

We like to highlight their support by acknowledging them on our page by streaming their logos.

We welcome business owners starting a matching giving program for employees.

Perhaps include Burning Bush in a special employee outing in some fundraising competitions.

If you own a business and would like to support our efforts this way, give us a call.
