Karen Lubbers-Odel has served in Uganda for over 16 years and has now been married 7 years. She is no longer eligible for the normal work permits of dependency passes. The Ugandan government is requiring her to become a permanent resident via marriage, even though it is not necessarily permanent (it could be 3-5 years, then 5-10 years, then for life). The visa itself costs $2,500 USD, but there are also other costs involved, such as getting signatures for local authorities and driving to Kampala to the immigration office, so we are seeking to raise $4,500 USD at this time. Thank you for helping Karen legally stay in Uganda!
