Living Hope Uganda began in 2006 by providing support and care for 35 poor children in the Luafu Zone, Makindye Division - a suburb of Kampala, Uganda. Over the years, the orphanage has tried to break the cycle of poverty and child vulnerability in Uganda.
Living Hope Uganda provides housing, food, education, training, clothing, and education for 161 children on the outskirts of Kampala, Uganda.
Living Hope Junior Academy started in 2007 with a vision to give education to orphans and poor children whose parents died of HIV/AIDS and other natural diseases. The school runs from Kindergarten to grade 7 with a total of 200 Children (orphans and local children). We realized the need for a school because of the increasing number of orphans and needy children in this community and realized that the only way to help these children long-term was to give them education to help shape their future. Whenever education promotes children's dignity- their innate belief that they have a place in the world and a contribution to make to it- a new generation of young people can play an active tole in creating healthier families, stronger local communities, and positive global change.
In the past years, LHU has been hard at work providing for the needs of these children. This includes the training of each child in elementary education. Other projects include a well, new dormitory, beds for each child, and a perimeter fence for safety. In 2023, we kicked off a sustainability drive to provide a reliable food source. We have since purchased land and raised crops to feed the children.
You can help by praying for these children and the people trying to protect them, by donating to support them, or contacting us for more ways to help.

Uganda is a very youthful country with 65% of the population less than 18 years old. These kids are the future of Uganda and will be empowered through education and provisioning of basic needs. The time to invest is now. There is a poor to non-existent primary education system, meaning that grass-roots efforts like LHU are critical to educate the youth.
Uganda is heavily impacted by HIV, resulting in 2M+ orphaned children.
Uganda is a very poor country, with $615 per capita GDP. This ranks in the lower 5% of world average. Even so, Uganda is still a refugee destination for Somalia, Sudan, Congo, and Rwanda. These refugees are often escaping strife in their home country and have practically nothing when they arrive.
