What are we fundraising for?
The Atai Orphanage Fund is a registered 501(c)(3) charity with a mission to provide food, clothing, education, permanent housing, and vital health services to the Orphans of the Teso District of Northern Uganda. The organization is operated by unpaid volunteers and all proceeds from any fundraiser is used to meet the needs of the children. Thanks to the generous support from friends of Atai, we are now housing 54 children in two houses and several huts within Atai Village. We are also feeding more than 100 – 150 children from neighboring villages two meals a day using food grown on our farm land!

A Village of the Heart Dinner and Auction
Our dinner auction is held in the fall of each year. The cost of the event is $65 per person or $520 per table. Tables will hold up to 8 people. This year's event will be held on Friday November 3rd at the All Occasion Banquet Center in Saint Charles Missouri. The doors will open at 6pm and the dinner will be served at approximately 7:30pm. When attending this event, you will enjoy some delicious food and dessert and help raise some money to enhance the living conditions for the children of Atai Orphanage.
