Emily's Lemonade Stand
For the children of Kenya, Africa
Hi! My name is Emily and I am eleven years old.
I want to help people and make a difference in the world. My goal is to raise $368,000 to build an orphanage complex for the Kipsongo Slum in Kitale, Kenya.
You are probably saying, "How can a kid raise that much money?" Well, it's really simple. I set up lemonade stands and ask people to donate $1. If 368,000 people will give one dollar, we will change the lives of 300 orphans forever!
How much has been raised?
$28,454.05
I started in January 2008 by asking 8,000 people to donate $1 to help feed the people of the Kipsongo Slum in Kitale, Kenya. I reached my first goal of $8,000 in less than a month and the missionaries fed 2,500 people for 10 days! Now, I'm raising money to take care of the children and build an orphanage.
We can change the world one dollar and one glass of lemonade at a time !
