Foundation of Hope Uganda
About Foundation of Hope Uganda
Foundation of hope Uganda is a non-profitable non government organization that was started up in 2014 with a focus on the orphans who lost their parents to AIDS and other diseases and those who are vulnerable, afflicted one, abandoned by helping them regain their lost love of parents and in so doing it was started to help address the problems and needs of such children who have got no say and support.It was started by Mr Ndifuna Johnson due to numerous numbers of people living in abject poverty and those who were in need.
We are also helping widows and the very elderly who have no one to help them out to have the basic essentials of life like food, water and good shelter. We are a registered CBO operating in Jinja district in Uganda in one of the remote villages called Kagoma village where the survival of its residents is entirely based on agriculture done on local basis with no practical or improved farming system hence poor yields and in most cases are either enough for home use alone or not even for home use leaving the farmers in total abject proverty.
Many children in Uganda are homeless and impoverished. They need care and education. Some are single orphans, some total orphans and others were neglected and dropped by their parents. Some children lost their parents due to an illness like AIDS, Ebola virus, nodding disease and other related diseases and others are dropped and run out from home because of severe child abuse caused by the high level of alcoholism in the country that has made their
parents irresponsible. This has caused most of these children to go on streets in search of what to eat and earn a living having no one to care for them.
Director's Biography
Ndifuna Johnson shares the same background with many unfortunate children. Having grown in the same background, he set out to give abandoned and abused children in Kagoma, Uganda a home, a family, and a future, with the hope that they will become the leaders of tomorrow in their communities and churches. In 2014, the ministry was registered and now also focuses on helping vulnerable children in the local neighborhoods who are highly susceptible to illness, hunger, lack of education, trafficking and exploitation due to extreme poverty.
