Follow-Up Meeting and Donations for Treasure Children's Charity

Treasure Children’s Charity was honored to receive a special follow-up visit and donation from one of our key supporters following an inspiring encounter earlier this month.

During a lecture titled “America@250: Opportunity for Civic Renewal in the US,” our founder, Amon Byarugaba, a Political Science student at Makerere University, met with a distinguished guest who was deeply impressed by his passion for youth empowerment and community engagement. Their discussion centered around the transformative work of Treasure Children’s Charity — an NGO based in Nansana dedicated to improving the lives of underprivileged children through education, health, and mentorship programs.

Motivated by Amon’s vision and commitment, our guest decided to make a meaningful contrib

ution before returning to the United States. As she packed for her trip home, she gathered school supplies and essential toiletries from her luggage to donate to the children served by Treasure Children’s Charity. These thoughtful gifts will go a long way in supporting children’s education and daily well-being.

In her words, “I wanted to do something to help the children served by the Treasure Children’s Charity in Nansana. I was glad that Amon could come back and see me again before I flew back to the US.”

Beyond the donation, this meeting sparked new ideas for collaboration. Plans are underway to invite Amon to speak to the USFSP YMCA Civic Fellows at the Civics Institute in the United States — to share his insights on youth empowerment and community leadership. This opportunity marks another step toward expanding the charity’s global partnerships and influence.

Adding a personal touch to the exchange, Amon presented her with a pair of beautifully crafted sandals — made from recycled tires — as a symbol of sustainability and friendship. She expressed her appreciation, noting that she looked forward to wearing them in sunny Florida, where sandals are perfect all year round.

At Treasure Children’s Charity, we deeply appreciate this act of kindness and the growing network of individuals who believe in our mission. Together, we continue to build bridges of compassion and hope — empowering children and inspiring the next generation of leaders.https://treasurechild.org/article/follow-up-meeting-and-donations-for-treasure-childrens-charity
