Save a Box for Someone Project (SBSP) aims at Uniting different generous hearts to enjoy the joy of Giving with an aim of rebuilding peoples’ lives from vulnerable situations to morally decent living conditions through the use of a SAVING BOX.
This project draws its practice from one of its founding members Naluyima Dorothy who in 2019 after having a habit of continuously saving decided to use her saving in a different way. She in 2019 randomly used the savings she got from her box to open up a business for someone (Nakitende Joweria). After Dorothy watched Nakitende Joweria and her children struggle with life in their neighborhood for a long time, she decided to talk to her, she asked her about her business aspirations and abilities of bettering her life and eventually reached an agreement of a charcoal stall business. On opening her saving box on 28-12-2019, she decided to give those savings to Joweria and they together looked for charcoal wholesalers, bought three(3) bags of charcoal and she started her own business. This action completely changed Joweria’s life for she now earns her own money, independently caters for her children who now go to school and also wholehearted provides food for them.
This action teaches us a lesson of not waiting to collect or earn millions to change someone else’s life, but to simply practice saving from the little you get for a year, put it together and generously use it to create joy and change in someone else’s life who is vulnerably in need. The beauty about this is that it doesn't matter how old you are or what your status in society is, what matters is the heart of joyously giving without expecting back, the wish to create an improvement in someone else’s life who is in need and the willingness to save not for you but for the betterment of those in need.
Just try to imagine, if one box could achieve all this, try to visualize what a collective of boxes can do? After being touched by this action, Sandra (Dorothy’s sister) decided to sit down with Dorothy and they both exchanged ideas on how they could carry on this practice for other people. They both agreed on not just making this a household practice, but decided to open it to the entire world especially to those that wish to create a positive change to all those living in vulnerable situations. Hence the birth of this amazing Project.
