Project Yesu, which was founded by an eleven year-old Mallory Fundora, has grown to help over 700 Ugandan children, providing food and education to vulnerable children.

Mallory, now a freshman at Austin Peay State University, is working with the College of Business and the Center for Service Learning & Community Engagement to bring teams of students to Uganda. She is also being spotlighted at the APSU foundation dinner in a few weeks.

“As her mother, watching Mallory and Project Yesu grow over the past seven years has been an amazing journey,” said Rory Fundora, Mallory’s mother. “Now she’s in college working towards a degree, and gaining the knowledge she needs to take Project Yesu to the next level, and I can’t wait to see where it goes, “said Fundora.
