Project Have Hope

Project Have Hope works with a group of 100 women in the Acholi Quarter of Uganda and helps them transform their lives and the lives of their families. Through the sale of their beautiful, handmade paper bead jewelry, the women can feed their families, send their children to school, and look forward to a richer future.

Featured Project: Rebuild a Mushroom House in Uganda

Project Have Hope aims to raise $750 to rebuild a mushroom house in the Acholi Quarter. This project enables women to increase their household incomes so they can feed their families, educate their children, and build a better future. Visit our Crowdrise page to learn more about this project and to make a donation.

Schools for Hope

As we celebrate our 5 years of progress, success, and hope, we are excited to launch our latest initiative -- Schools for Hope. Here in the States, schools, classes, or student groups can choose one of our families to adopt, with the goal of raising a minimum of $500 to assist the family with their immediate basic needs, provide business startup capital, and ultimately build a permanent home for the family.
