UberSLEIGH – Put a smile on a child’s face this Christmas #ChristmasInABox
12 December 2015 / Nigeria
‘Tis the season to be jolly, and definitely ‘tis the season to spread the holiday cheer throughout the community. This Christmas, we have teamed up with Slum2school in their ‘Christmas in a Box‘ campaign to provide beautifully wrapped Christmas presents to 10,000 disadvantaged and vulnerable children in Nigeria.
Slum2school is a non-profit initiative focused on providing hope for every child. Their vision is to transform the society by empowering disadvantaged children to realise their full potential. To learn more, you can read their success stories here.
HOW IT WORKS:
- Spread the word at your home or office, and collect goodies for your gift boxes! Boxes should be wrapped and labelled.
- Signup here if you are not yet an Uber user.
- Open your Uber app on Thursday 17th between 2pm and 8pm and Friday 18th December between 10am – 3pm.
- Select the ‘UberSLEIGH’ vehicle option at the bottom of the screen.
- If connected, an Uber will arrive to pick up your gift box and drop off at Slum2school depots free of charge.
- Please keep in mind drivers can’t leave vehicles unattended, so we ask that you bring your items out to meet your driver when they arrive.
WHAT YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE:
You’re playing Santa to the children so please take care in putting your gift box together! Here’s the list of approved items you can contribute: toys, clothes, shoes, story books, lego, snacks, games, and generally non-perishable items.
If you are unable to request a #Slum2school vehicle on both days, you can drop off your Christmas boxes on Saturday 19th December at Makoko Primary school, Yaba.
