“Writes for a Cause” began in 2015 as the title of a self-taught college course — a personal commitment to giving through writing. What started as a symbolic project has grown into a heartfelt mission to support orphaned children across Africa and Asia.
Founder Natalie Harley first connected with Kel Jose, an artist and caretaker for 30 children living with HIV/AIDS in Uganda, in 2022. Through monthly school payments, funding for food and clothing, and later the installation of a clean water source, Writes for a Cause helped transform the lives of these children and their surrounding community.
Despite facing personal health challenges, including a breast-cancer diagnosis in 2024, the founder continued providing for these children — extending support to two additional orphanages in 2025.
Today, Writes for a Cause represents resilience, faith, and the belief that one person’s compassion can ripple across continents.
