Phase 2: Fundraising to support later needs, and further delivery of supplies.
The focus of the second phase was to help the Okellos meet their minimal needs for survival. The bulk of aid, to this date, were during this phase. Thus far we have made the following disbursements to the Okellos*.

Though we now consider Phase 2 to be
completed, continuous aid for basic needs that characterized Phase 2
will also be needed until completion of the final phase. We are
confident and pleased that our efforts and your donations so far have
made life for the Okello family a great deal more bearable. The
ultimate goal of this project, to break the cycle of poverty for this
family, has not yet been reached. We believe that Phase 3 will
acheive that, but in the meantime, the Okellos still desparately need
your help.
Whether or not this family will have enough to eat next month, depends on the generosity and compassion of people like you. Any amount you wish to contribute will be greatly appreciated. For the duration of this plan, the Okellos* will have priority for any donations you make to our Africa Fund. If donations exceed the amount needed by this family, second priority will be for other families and individuals, in Africa, facing similar circumstances.
