Do You Want to Give Hope to Children?

Do you want to give hope to children? Do you think education is a key to a bright future? Do you believe that you can make a change in the world? If yes, then you are in agreement with Literacy of Love, Inc. Literacy of Love has big dreams and big faith. 100% of all proceeds develop our mission to help destitute children and orphans in Uganda find hope and a future! Literacy of Love (LOL) was started by Cari Matejka. Her heart and mind were captured after her first visit to Bethlehem Parents’ School and Orphanage in Uganda. Her life was inspired by the personal relationships with the children built over years. She couldn’t unlearn their difficulties and great needs, and that weight of responsibility paired with her deep love is what motivated her to develop LOL into a nonprofit. The children’s biggest fear is that their education will end after primary school. How will LOL combat that? We will build them a permanent home, surround them with a new family to care for their basic needs, develop a secondary school to ensure quality education and build economic opportunities to guarantee that their support doesn’t end once school does. Our solution is multifaceted and sustainable. The cycle of giving a hand up doesn’t end, instead the very children we serve will be given an opportunity to make a difference for others. This isn’t a company; it’s a family. Literacy of Love firmly believes every ounce of love can add up to cause a ripple of change. Please join us to make a wave!
