About us
Hope Children’s Foundation, founded in 1999, is a private not-for-profit and non-government organization based and operating in Kampala the capital city of Uganda in East Africa. In 2011 Hope Children’s Foundation was formally registered with the Government of Uganda as a Not-for-profit and Non-Government organization.
Our Mission Statement:
H - Help O - Other P - People E - Excel
We aim at reaching marginalized children and youths such as orphans, school drop outs and members of very poor families.
Our work
• Today we bring together over 100 children from the outskirt villages of Kampala to provide them with the basics of life that include; education, shelter, medication, food, clothing, parental love and care.
• Our orphanage home is set up as a nurturing family environment, where our children are engaged in crop growing, gardening and cooking.
• Our Children’s Orphanage package comprises a Home, Kindergarten, a Primary school and a vocational centre. In line with the Government's policies, Hope Children’s Foundation believes in placing children and youths in a family environment rather than orphanage centres. We are committed to share knowledge and expertise with the people in the family and community. We have developed links with national and international organizations well as international volunteers.
