Our Mission

We work with community-based organizations in rural villages of Uganda to address issues that perpetuate poverty through providing education and community development programs. We do this because every youth deserves an opportunity to thrive, to become a contributing member of a healthy and productive community, and to be free from extreme poverty.

Our programs

  1. We support children's education at YANA Community High School. Our partner Child Empowerment Programme-Uganda identifies needy students in the community and offers them the opportunity to be the leaders of tomorrow and to give back to their community.

  2. We empower widow's groups by providing training, equipment and small business grants.

  3. Through feedback from our Ugandan advisory board, and grant applications from our partner NGOs, we fund community impact projects including health initiatives and infrastructure which improve life in the village.  By bringing our partner NGOs together on one advisory board we encourage the sharing of resources, ideas, and experiences which can offer support and hope.

Finding Hope through Land

Today's message of hope is about land. I currently am reading a phenomenal book called Why Nations Fail, and in this book the connections between property and land are unraveled. While I continue to better understand the history and economics of land, I don't need intellect to know that the reality for so many Ugandan communities is one shackled to poverty.
