Alight 365 is heading to uganda!
Specifically to the Bubukwanga Transit Center and Rwamwanja Refugee Settlement, which are both welcoming refugee families coming from Eastern Congo. Conflict in the region has sent people into Uganda in the tens of thousands, sometimes in bursts and sometimes in a low steady flow. And with so many crises happening around the world, there hasn’t been enough funding for this situation.
The team at Alight 365 is starting the co-creation & ideation process right now so stay tuned! Great things to come,

WHAT DOES $500 WORTH OF CHANGE LOOK LIKE?
More than you’d think. It looks like cots and mattresses – a soft place to rest – for refugees who’ve just completed their journey to a refugee camp. It looks like art supplies for kids who need a safe place to wait while their siblings and parents receive therapy for malnutrition. It looks like a fresh coat of paint for refugee camp buildings, brightening everyone’s day.
It looks like real change – every single day – for an entire year.

What would I do with $500?
I would buy bedding and mattresses to put in the Reception Center for refugees and asylum seekers – where they stay until we can setup a shelter for them. All of these people have traveled for days and weeks to reach the refugee settlement. Some have medical complications as the result of violence or abuse. And right now, they have to sleep on the floor and have no soft spot to lie down.”"
