Find Out More About Our Mission
With increased poverty, parental hardship and lack of social aid, children with disabilities are often abandoned by their families as they do not have the resources or skills to care for them.
Our vision is to help heal and nurture those mentally and physically disabled children who have no one else to care for them. Our programs allow these children to become socially accepted, foster a sense of inclusion and develop the skills they will need to live independently.

Home of Hope is a not-for-profit organization that relies on many volunteers, caregivers, medical professionals and maintenance staff to provide a safe haven and place of hope & healing for disabled children in Uganda.
We are completely dependent on the kind donations we receive from individuals and charitable organizations to fund facility expansion as well as expensive medical treatment including mobility equipment like wheelchairs and leg braces.

Meet Edith Lukabwe, Director Home of Hope
Edith Lukabwe founded Home of Hope to provide physical care and compassion for children in Uganda living with multiple disabilities. Many of the children living at Home of Hope were abandoned and neglected, and Home of Hope offered a place for them to go. There are currently 96 children at Home of Hope today.
The organization does community work and helps educate parents of disabled children on how to best care for them. They offer medications, home visits and outreach, and aim to reduce the number of children being abandoned. The organization works to provide the children with basic needs, social protection and inclusion, and improved standards of living. They also continue to raise awareness and encourage love for these children in the community.
