A COMMUNITY IN NEED

People of all communities desire a better life where there are opportunities and avenues for improvement and advancement in their social, economic and financial status. But for many, these seems to be very far from reality hence losing hope for the future.

Now many years after endless struggle for survival, many are asking why so little has changed to impact their own personal lives and a spirit of disenchantment is taking hold.

Many are living in informal settlements and see little hope for the future. Many in these communities are local peasants.

​

The mission of ChildHope Uganda is to empower underprivileged children with relevant education, provide support to single mothers and the elderly.
