Funds in Education

Warm greetings from Katumba Parents Humanist Nursery and Primary School in Bundibugyo District, Uganda. In our effort to provide quality education to all children, we have recognized the critical need to equip learners with essential scholastic materials and school uniforms. While tuition is important, these tools are equally vital for effective learning and success. Unfortunately, many of our students — particularly orphans and vulnerable children — lack these basics due to poverty and lack of family support. To address this, we are launching a Scholastic Fund aimed at supporting needy learners with the items they require to learn in comfort, maintain their dignity, and excel in their academics. We are kindly appealing for donations in kind or financial contributions to help us purchase these supplies. Itemized Needs and Costs No. Item Qty per Child Cost per Unit (UGX) Cost per Unit (USD) Total per Child (UGX) Total per Child (USD) Notes 1 School Shoes 1 pair 50,000 UGX $13.16 50,000 UGX $13.16 Durable for 1 year 2 Exercise Books 24 books/year 4,000 UGX $1.05 96,000 UGX $25.26 8 books per term 3 Pens 18/year 500 UGX $0.13 9,000 UGX $2.37 6 pens per term 4 Sketch Pencils 18/year 200 UGX $0.05 3,600 UGX $0.95 6 pencils per term 6 Geometry Set 1 5,500 UGX $1.45 5,500 UGX $1.45 One-time 7 School Bag 1 40,000 UGX $10.53 40,000 UGX $10.53 Lasts 2+ years 8 School Uniform 1 set 35,000 UGX $9.21 35,000 UGX $9.21 Lasts 1 year Sweater 1 20,000 UGX $5.26 20,000 UGX $5.26 Lasts 2+ years 9 Lunch at School 3 terms 40,000 UGX/term $10.53/term 120,000 UGX $31.58 Per year 10 Sanitary Pads (Girls) 9 packs/year 3,500 UGX $0.92 31,500 UGX $8.29 For girls 11 Mattress 1 80,000 UGX $21.05 80,000 UGX $21.05 One-time 12 Blanket 1 60,000 UGX $15.79 60,000 UGX $15.79 Lasts 4+ years Why This Matters • Shoes protect children from infections and give them dignity. • Exercise books, pens, and pencils enable learning and assignments. • Uniforms foster equality and belonging. • Lunch improves concentration and school attendance. • Bedding supports healthy rest, essential for learning. • Sanitary pads ensure girls don’t miss school. These items are not luxuries — they are foundations for education. Without them, many children face ridicule, illness, or drop out altogether. A Call to Generosity We understand that supporting all items for every child may be challenging. However, as the saying goes, “One by one makes a bundle.” You may choose to support one specific item, one child, or contribute towards a general fund. Your contribution — whether large or small — will directly transform a child’s life. Each donor will receive a thank-you letter and a photo of the child(ren) they supported. Together, we can remove the barriers to education, restore hope, and give these children a chance to build a brighter future.

DES.ENG.AGE. presents Silicon Souls during the Dutch Design Week at NulZes. A Platform for Creative Technical Collaboration, and techno-conscious discussion What is DES.ENG.AGE.? It is a project that brings ASML engineers together with creative minds from Eindhoven. The goal is to connect the worlds of technology and design, helping to build a stronger creative culture around ASML and in the local area. It also gives ASML employees a chance to take part in hands-on creative projects, learn new skills, both technical and creative to work on projects from start to finish. Most importantly, we aim to support a society where technology is developed with thought and care, shaped by both engineers and artists who consider its impact on people and the planet. What’s the Story Behind “Silicon Souls”? In the past, alchemists dreamed of turning lead into gold. Even Isaac Newton spent years exploring this idea. In recent times, scientists at the Large Hadron Collider managed to do it. However, we believe the real magic is in semiconductors. We take sand and turn it into silicon chips that store information, ideas, and money on them. These chips power everything around us. It’s not just turning matter into something valuable; it’s creating the foundations for whole digital worlds. Since Eindhoven is often called “Europe’s Silicon Valley,” we believe we should lead not only in tech, but also in responsibility. At DES.ENG.AGE. we think that “those who create are responsible.” That’s why Silicon Souls, our contribution to Dutch Design Week, is meant to highlight the deep connection between innovation and ethics where technologists think about their impact, and citizens are part of shaping the digital world. What will “Silicon Souls” look like? We want to show the hidden complexity of the microchip industry in the form of a beautiful and meaningful piece of art, and abstract installation. This project will be built together by ASML engineers and local designers. The artwork will look like a large chandelier, shaped like a cone, hanging from the ceiling. It will be able to move in the x and y directions (and possibly z). It will contain fine sand, which will trickle onto a silicon wafer. As the chandelier moves, it will "expose" patterns of the sand metaphorically tracing the steps of chip fabrication. The polished surface of the cone will reflect a structure of pillars and connections an architecture that could be buildings or the layered structure of a microprocessor. Each layer will represent a story or idea sparking conversation with visitors. We also intend to pay homage to the employees of the industry by incorporating 3D figurines of people who contributed to the project. How Can You Help? We’re looking for engineers who want to volunteer their time and skills. Here are some areas where we need help: o 3d scanning o 3d printing with resin or ceramic slurry o Calculating load bearing capacity of NulZes ceiling and beams o Designing x-y stage that moves a “chandelier” that drips sand o Designing nozzle system for sand o "Wafer stage" design on the ground o Helping Luuk van den Broek (our resident designer) with the cone that that is to be the main structure for the “chandelier” o Help with the woodwork o Connect the piece to the ceiling [TIG welding] o Arrange area for seating o Design and write on the walls o Audio system for explaining the piece (is it a looped speaker or headphones, can it be rented or from ASML borrow) o Record sounds o Build up and install (scenography) from readymade objects o Code movement and experience o Create DUV etched silicon with disengage manifesto message that can be viewed under the microscope o Work as mechanical engineer for integration. o Electronics o Coding o Lighting design [illumination from the inside of the chandelier to project message] o Safety expert o Volunteer to stay at the DDW (Performance to offload sand from printed wafer) We’re also looking for donations to help cover the costs of creating and displaying the artwork.

Funds to pay tuition for orphans and vulnerable children in Soroti Uganda

Mountain State Montessori is a nonprofit in the heart of Appalachia, committed to delivering high-quality, hands-on education that nurtures independence, curiosity, and life long learning. For over 15 years, the school has served families at our campus in Fayetteville, West Virginia -- offering Montessori education across Toddler, Children's House, and Elementary classrooms. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity: to help relocate to a permanent campus designed specifically for the needs of our students and community. Our mission is to educate the minds, hearts and bodies of our students in a challenging, vibrant experimental learning community. By working together with our members we will create an encouraging and positive environment where children can learn the skills they need to become responsible, independent, productive and caring citizens.

Psychologist Heleen Terwijn observed that ten-year-olds are fully occupied with fantasies about their future. That curiosity is only partly nurtured at school, while children are all, by nature, broadly interested. During her research, Terwijn developed the idea of bringing children from the receptive age of ten into contact with enthusiastic professionals and interesting fields. Supplementary education is the difference maker for society. Intrinsically driven students and former students are a great asset to society and strengthen it. With Future Expedition, IMC Weekend School brings society into the classroom and vice versa. Guest lessons take students into real-life situations. Students learn to diagnose with a general practitioner, program with an IT professional, put out fires with the fire brigade, debate with an alderman, make judgments with a judge and make reports with a journalist, and so on.

At ASML, we push the boundaries of technology. But what if we could also push the boundaries of what’s possible for humanity? The School of Moral Ambition is a movement that empowers people to do good at the scale of their talents and resources. Founded on the belief that ambition and altruism can—and must—go hand in hand, the School inspires individuals to align their careers, choices, and influence with the world’s most pressing needs. In a world facing climate change, inequality, and global health crises, we don’t just need more good intentions—we need bold, moral ambition.

Education is very key in today's society and many kids in the villages of Uganda are missing this opportunity due to poverty which hinders them to obtain education and also scholastic materials. In 2022, I and my family made a decision to support over 60 kids from Primary to University levels to obtain better and meaningful education. We have been catering for school fees and school requirements for boarding section using our savings in Buikwe, Mukono and Jinja districts. But as the economy is hardening and resources becoming very scarce, we have found ourselves not affording to pay for all the kids we started with, yet these are brilliant and promising citizens of tomorrow. It's very painful to see these vulnerable kids drop out of school since they won't be with any means to support them. I hereby request anyone with a good heart to support this cause. As first term of 2025 soon starting in February, we have found ourselves at the crossroads and we call upon all of you from all walks of lives to support us so that these kids can go back to school and also finish their education. We thank you and God bless you.
