Kids and caretakers alike in the village of Kaihura are celebrating the children’s return to classes. “The last two years have been incredibly difficult for the kids and their teachers and caretakers,” said Prossy Babone, Bringing Hope to the Family Uganda Administrator. “The interruption of our lives by the Covid pandemic led to a tragic lack of consistency and normalcy that these children need so badly. We are overjoyed to try and get back to normal!” We are too, Prossy! We are too.

Our BHTF Uganda educators and caretakers rely on your help to maintain a safe, “normal” environment for these kids. Please help them by making a donation today.

Our renewed commitment to clean water

One of the biggest challenges faced by the communities in rural Uganda is access to clean water. Although we had success last year in facilitating one new well, the need is much greater. “Access to clean water is a human right,” explains BHTFUSA Executive Director, Christine Deschaine. “Over the many years that I’ve visited the Village of Kaihura, the lack of fresh water has been an overwhelming need.”

Building new water wells is a top priority for BHTF USA in 2022. Our plan is to build at least six wells. Please join us in this important endeavor.

He has now entered his secondary education, and his caregivers have high hopes that he can attend Nyakasura or Mandela school. 

Your donation of any amount to our Education fund goes to assist Vicent and other students at BHTF. If you would like to support an entire year of Vicent’s education ($1,250), please contact us.

Lillian was found by an outreach team without parents and under the care of older siblings in a grass-thatched house on the verge of collapse. She was first educated at Hope Academy Nursery and Primary School and is now studying at Mandela secondary school.

Lillian is hoping for a full sponsor, but any amount donated to our Education fund will help her and the other students. If you would like to support an entire year of Lillian’s education ($1,250), please contact us.
