The Expat Money Show - With Mikkel Thorup

145: Creating a Nonprofit in Uganda’s Slums – Jennings Wright


Listen Later

Today’s guest on the Expat Money Show is Jennings Wright the Founder & Executive Director of 10Eighteen.org, a nonprofit organization that works with teen moms in the Namuwongo slums in Uganda with a halfway house and a vocational school; a WASH campaign in remote Rwakobo village inside Lake Mburo National Park; and food for children in 3 schools.
 
WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:
  • How modifying your perspective on something so important will radically change your life.
  • What you feel when you step inside a country like Uganda, how it changes your life and gets in your heart
  • You can’t even imagine what the slums in Uganda are like, the smell, the waste, the garbage yet Jennings has been 13 times to help make a difference for all that live there.
  • Listen to the story of a grandmother who is raising 6 grandchildren from 2 of her children who have died of AIDS...unfathomable.
  • Who really benefits from the normal average non-profit? Jennings describes in detail how different their organization is and how the people she helps learn new skills to take out to the world and make a difference.
  • What happens when you work with a nation that is mostly illiterate? Or that 65% of the population is under 18? What is in store for Ugandans going forward?
  • Here’s how you can really truly make a difference in the lives of others that don’t have access to clean water, clothes or food every day; imagine only eating every other day? 
  • Learn how vitally important schools being open in a country like Uganda so that children can have food to eat every day. 
  • The shocking stories of teen pregnancies in the slums of Kampala and how food is traded for sex

        CONCLUSION
        This was probably the most difficult episode for me to record. We had to stop several times so that I could get myself composed. Jennings's stories are heartbreaking but true. I know my listeners, and I can only imagine that every one of you who takes the time to listen will be compelled to want to help. I know I am and that is why I have decided to make 10Eighteen the official charity of Expat Money and I will be supporting their initiative going forward.
