Uganda Orphanage Sponsorship

Hope for Africa Children's Village

Chronic underdevelopment in Uganda is a problem not easily solved. Remote rural living, the HIV/AIDS epidemic, a subsistence economy, loss of hope, and lack of services helps to keep many orphaned children and their extended families dependent upon hand-outs.Our partner in Uganda has developed a pilot project that, with initial sponsorship, will give the local community start-up funds, knowledge, and motivation all necessary to solve its problems in a sustainable way. A primary school has been established to educate local children free of charge and the most destitute children are housed and fed. The children receive training in academics, life skills, and modern commercial agriculture. In order to support the orphans' extended family network the organization also wishes to offer training to the local community in handicrafts marketing, tailoring, carpentry and mechanics. Through these community projects, local adults will be able to generate income on their own. The children's village needs initial sponsorships to enable it to operate the school, care for its destitute children, purchase farming inputs such as hoes, shovels, seeds and animals, provide training in commercial farming and animal husbandry, and to develop community income generating projects.
