Livestock Project Success

The newest Billy goat

This past May, Think Humanity purchased a new Billy goat to produce higher quality of kids. Celestine holds the first offspring below.

We started with 40 goats in January 2009 and now there are 121 goats.

By January 2012 this project should be income generating and self-sustaining.

Think Humanity gives bed nets to an entire IDP Camp

We brought down groups of 35 people at a time to receive their nets.

3,000 Long-Lasting Insecticide-Treated Bed Nets were given to the entire Acholi Quarter Camp for Internally Displaced Persons on July 14-15, 2010. Those that benefited are Acholi and Bugandans.


Thank you Global Healing and Red Empress for donating bed nets for this community of refugees. Ayo Jennifer, AIDS counselor said, “The family is going to live longer and longer because no more malaria. We have kicked malaria out of Uganda.”

The Acholi Quarter Camp is made up of mostly women and children. The World Health Organization recommends the Olyset Nets, the nets TH provided to the IDP.

World Malaria Day - April 25th, 2010

April 25th is World Malaria Day.

Think Humanity works in sub-Saharan Africa to provide refugees with mosquito nets. In this part of Africa a child under the age of 5 years dies from malaria every 30 seconds, but it is preventable when we provide them with an insecticide treated bed net for only $5 each. Most people can afford to help save the life of a child. The net lasts 3-5 years and several children can sleep under it. Just think about it before World Malaria Day. You can donate $5 and make a big difference in the world. Reach out to others. Think Humanity.

Uganda - One Doctor for 16,200 Refugees in Kyaka II

One Doctor for more than 16,000 Refugees in Kyaka II

Think Humanity is going into Kyaka II Refugee Camp in 2010 to distribute mosquito nets. Imagine if you were a refugee and you had one doctor for a community of more than 16,000? The camp is 80 square miles - try to get to that one pediatric ward where there are 9 beds and most days 3 children or more to each bed. Two children die from malaria on average per day from malaria in this clinic. We need to give out 4,000 nets to be effective yet we need your donation for this project. If you can donate $5 then we can provide a net for 4 children and potentially save their lives for the next 3 to 5 years. Think Humanity is a 501c3 tax deductible nonprofit organization.

By purchasing the jewelry from the Acholi women it allows them to purchase food and to educate their children. We then send 100% from sales back to Think Humanity projects.

A portion of money raised will go towards helping girls' education by purchasing ground nuts and cabbages to provide them with a healthy diet.

Presently they are eating only posho, porridge made from maize flour.
