About Us

Uganda Hands for Hope was founded in February 2008 to target education, health and poverty in one of Kampala's largest and poorest informal urban settlements. Our aim in 2008 was to offer a direct response child sponsorship programme and a nursery for the most disadvantaged children. The reputation of our work spread quickly and sponsors from the international community, in addition to helping these children, provided invaluable support to their families. By 2009, the organisation had grown to half-a-dozen energetic staff members working on the front lines of poverty.

Uganda Hands for Hope is now hosting many more exciting projects, which help mothers start (or improve) a small business, keep unsponsored children off the streets and prepare them for school. All of our projects are designed to be sustainable and aim to give community members the materials to build and secure their future.

We now serve over 200 woman and children in the community and our small size allows us to work closely with our beneficiaries and to better understand their needs.

Uganda Hands for Hope has an inspiring positive influence on the community:

• Nearly 200 sponsored children are going to school
• More than 50 women have been assisted in starting or improving their business through our Occupational Support Programme
• More than 100 small children attend our nursery

Uganda Hands for Hope has its sights set on further growth of its operations and the sustainable development of the communities it serves.

Uganda Hands for Hope provides resources and to the most vulnerable in the community so that they may help themselves. We pursue our mission with both excellence and compassion because the people whom we serve deserve nothing less.
