Soap for Hope, PLEASE GIVE

Used Soap Bars from Hotels Are
Often Collected and Distributed to Villages
"In 2004, the World Health Organization found roughly 15 percent of deaths among Ugandan children under age 5 resulted from diarrheal diseases, many of which could be prevented through hand sanitation." -- CDC, MSNBC

Women in Bugabo often suffer the worst, especially if they are left without a means of support for their families: fathers die or leave or are injured for long periods, as in the case with the young man that was hung by his arm in Bugabo.

Soap for Hope is hoping to prevent death and provide economic growth in Uganda,  This is a training project involving an all-natural-from-ash-rainwater-and-animal-fat/oils process that HIH will be taking to Uganda.  We will train 10 women in this process.  Ten families, approximately 50 children will benefit.  This is one way that women like these can provide needed economic support for their families.

Donate to this project, please.  Instead of relying on you to educate, clothe, and feed their children.  These women will be able to be self-sustaining.  One small step, one giant leap for woman-kind...especially in Bugabo.  Click the PayPal link on the Blog.

Following video is a bit long, from the U.S. Department of Centers for Disease Control.  Hygiene is so important in child survival:
