Help Us Ship a Container of Hope to Uganda
We’re about to take a massive step forward, and you can help make it happen.
By sending just one shipping container, we’ll unlock a whole new chapter for the children and communities we support in Uganda.
It’s not just about goods. It’s about growth, empowerment, and long-term change.
What’s Inside the Container?
Every donated item in this container has been carefully chosen to build opportunity and transform lives.
With your help, we will raise $20,000 to send over:
🎶 A Music School – Imagine the joy of kids discovering music for the very first time!
🍳 A Cooking School – Giving young people real-world skills for independence.
🧵 A Sewing Centre – Empowering future tailors, designers, and entrepreneurs.
📚 Vocational & Educational Workshops – Practical tools to shape strong futures.
🏠 A Hostel and Holiday School Programs – A safe space for learning, growth, and rest.
🛏️ Essential Upgrades – Furniture, bedding, and vital equipment to improve every day.
👟 Clothing & School Supplies – High-quality gear to support children with dignity.
🚐 Vehicles – To reach even the most remote children who would otherwise go unseen.
The Impact Goes Both Ways
We’re also recycling over 20 tonnes of items here in Australia, keeping them out of landfill and giving them new life in communities that need them most.
We save thousands in costs, funds that would have made these projects impossible. And when we arrive, the container itself is transformed into retail & workspaces for our young people launching small businesses.
Why It Matters
This project marks the next exciting phase of our work in Uganda.
We’re not just meeting immediate needs, we’re creating self-sustaining, holistic solutions that will last for generations.
With your help, we can scale our reach and deepen our impact. It’s a big project, but together, we can do this.
💛 Please give generously and be part of this incredible transformation.

Our Impact
Meet the Founder
Steve, the visionary behind I AM SOMEONE, embarked on a transformative journey to redefine charitable giving. With nearly 30 years of experience in international development, Steve was determined to establish an organisation that ensures donors’ money reaches where it makes the most significant impact.
In 2005, driven by his profound passion for improving the lives of children and fostering positive change in remote communities, Steve founded I AM SOMEONE to provide a clear and effective path for donors to see their contributions create real, lasting change.
Steve’s commitment to this mission was ignited by a deeply personal experience. In 2000, witnessing the devastating plight of child soldiers in Sierra Leone during the civil war, he felt an urgent call to act. By 2005, he had sold his home and invested his resources into this cause, pursuing his dream of supporting the world’s most vulnerable children. Combining his background as a fine art student with his charitable efforts, Steve uses recycled timber blocks featuring his photography as a creative fundraising tool, blending artistry with philanthropy.
