This project will provide vocational training to Ugandan women in the Acholi Quarter who are striving to become self-sufficient and provide for their families' basic needs. The women choose a training course according to their interests and upon graduation, Project Have Hope provides a loan for the individual to start her own business.

We are building 2 libraries, in conjunction with Help one Child Uganda, in rural areas within Uganda. Each library will not only focus on creating and nourishing a culture of reading, but will serve as a community center in these remote villages. A dedicated librarian will serve each library and offer programming that includes daily story times and arts and crafts classes. Each library will provide an outlet where children and adults can go to learn and explore.

"I want to help my people," are the words spoken by the children we sponsor in school. Growing up as the children of displaced refugees in a slum outside of the capital, these children know the harsh realities of poverty. By age 5, they were working in the dangerous conditions of the stone quarry, hoping to earn enough money for their next meal. With the opportunity to attend school, these children can now dream and work towards improving their lives and those of their families.

Due to the tragic HIV epidemic in Uganda, there are many children orphaned and there are limited resources to help care for them. We aim to help some of these children. With your help, we ensure that each child is well cared for and all basic needs are provided. In addition, each child receives medical care and an education and is fostered within a nourishing environment.

Project Have Hope has always been about creating lasting and sustainable change to create independence. However, the toll of COVID-19 has been too great. In these near desperate times, PHH is seeking to provide assistance to help our artisans and their families cope. Our hope is to provide 80 food baskets to the families most in need in the Acholi Quarter. Additional funds would be used to provide food as needed as the crisis continues.
