Food Baskets for Ugandan Families

Dorine studied in school until Primary 6 when her father died of tuberculosis.  With no money to pay her school fees, Dorine went to work in the fields in northern Uganda.

In 1996, Dorine followed her husband to Kampala and found work in the stone quarry.  She’d toil each day, breaking larger rocks into small pieces to be used in the foundation for homes and other construction.  In 2005, Dorine’s husband left her for another, leaving her as the sole provider for their three children.  He later passed away from a liver condition.

After struggling in the stone quarry for nearly 25 years, Dorine used money she earned making paper bead jewelry to set up a small business selling charcoal from her home front.  Charcoal is a necessity in the Acholi Quarter where it is used as the main heating source for their small stoves.  Dorine earns almost the same income selling charcoal as what she earned battling the quarry conditions.

Today, she runs a successful charcoal business and is one of the cooks who serves up hot porridge to children for our breakfast program. 

Thank you Dorine for your work.

 Can one person REALLY make a difference? The answer, emphatically, is YES!

With your help, for 18 years,Project Have Hope has transformed lives. It started with one person motivated to do something and has grown into a community support system, helping where most needed in Uganda's Acholi Quarter.

Thank you for helping us to reach across the world and let our friends in the Acholi Quarter know that they are not alone.

With your support, we made our fundraising goal of feeding 500 children breakfast each morning.

As little as a $25 donation makes it possible to feed children breakfast for one week.  Will you join us?
