"What would you buy with 100,000 shillings?" (Approximately $50)

From the rural villages to the urban sprawl of Kampala, we asked this question to over 100 kids in Uganda, and they drew for us a response. From school fees and a banana tree to an I-phone and laptop, the artwork we collected revealed so much about the aspirations and challenges of the kids we met.

This art campaign was inspired by our work with the Circle of Peace School, a school that provides high quality education to these kids, many of them AIDS orphans.

With each $50 purchase of a child’s drawing of "what they would buy with $50", we can invest in the expansion of the Peace School. By showcasing the children’s love of art and their stories, we can share to the world the transformative power of education and how every little bit – your $50 – can change a life.
