Vehicles for Transportation:· 4WD double cabin pickup trucks, cars, vans, buses, (preferably 4 Wheel Drive). One of the main challenges here is traveling on rough roads with unreliable, overcrowded buses and taxis that serve as public transportation. It becomes especially challenging when traveling in the rural villages with almost no proper roads, and there are no buses. The only alternative means are “boda-boda” bicycles, which are not always safe. As such, OCA is in need of a reliable 4Wheel Drive Vehicle for safe travel and transportation.

Funding:
· OCA’s greatest need at the moment is financial resources to pay children’s school fees, and run programs and projects. Financial donations can be made by mail or wire transfer. Checks should be made payable to “Orphans for Christ in Africa Ltd” and mailed to our mailing address below. To make wire transfer, please e-mail Anthony, for details.

All in-kind donations should be marked “Donations with No commercial value” and mailed (preferably) BY AIRMAIL, DHL, FEDEX to our mailing address: P. O. Box 28454, Kampala Uganda, to the attention of Mr. Anthony Onyango Yakobo, Director, Orphans for Christ in Africa. Telephone: +256 782 691 159.
