Akot Evelyn - 12 years
Akot Evelyn is a 12 year old girl. She was born in a Kampala suburb called Soweto. Her father died of an epidemic disease called Cholera when she was only five years old. Her mother struggled to send her to school and provide her with the absolute necessities, but failed. Akot, at her tender age, started living on the streets and due to the poor conditions, the Miracle Kids church decided to adopt her and support her. She likes singing, dancing, watching movies, reading the bible and story books. She is a very happy and jolly girl. Due to a lack of resources, Aid the Nations has not been able to provide Akot with the necessary school fees to pay for her education. She is a very curious and open minded girl, with a quest and yearning for knowledge. With your help, we can give the gift of education to little Akot!

Help us fight malaria!
Imagine being able to save a child's life for only $10! Did you know that malaria is one of the leading causes of death for children living in Uganda? Malaria is an infectious disease caused by a parasite, transmitted by mosquitos. Malaria causes flu-like symptoms, liver/kidney failure, seizures, problems with the nervous system, shock and in the most severe cases, death. Every year, 750,000 children die from malaria. That's one child every 30 seconds.
FACT: Malaria CAN be easily prevented with anti-malarial drugs, and long lasting insecticide-treated bed nets. Up to four children can sleep under one net for up to five years! These incredible life saving bed nets cost $10. We need YOUR help!
