ICCF Holland and Kuwasha~
|Bram| Moolenaar's charity, ICCF Holland, has long supported the education of
children in Uganda through the Kibaale Children's Centre. Following Bram's
passing in 2023, ICCF Holland transfered all activities to its sister charity
Kuwasha in Canada and dissolved at the end of 2025.
Donations from Vim users are still welcome and will continue to go directly to
Uganda. To continue supporting this cause, please send contributions to
Kuwasha.

helps. When Bram came back to Holland, he wanted to continue supporting KCC.
To do this he has been raising funds and organizing the sponsorship program.
Compared with other organizations that do child sponsorship the amounts are
very low. This is because the money goes directly to the centre. Less than
5% is used for administration. This is possible because this is a small
organization that works with volunteers. If you would like to sponsor a
child, you should have the intention to do this for at least one year.
