​Transform a life - Sponsor a Student through Hearts & Hope

What does my sponsorship provide?

​​The best way to have a long-lasting impact in Uganda is to sponsor the education of a future leader.

For only $35 per month, a child can learn the skills necessary to lift them and their village out of poverty.  As part of your student sponsorship, you will send and receive updates from your student twice a year.  The annual school year begins in February.

Your sponsorship provides for the following: 
  • School Tuition
  • Clothing - Uniform, leather shoes, and socks
  • Food each day
  • Backpack & School Supplies
  • Knowledge that you care about their future!

Provide Additional Support

You also have the opportunity to provide additional support to your student and their school during the checkout process:
  • Basic Medical Fund - Donate to purchase mosquito nets and anti-malarial medicines
  • School Facilities Fund - Provide funds to your students school to purchase teaching aids, desks, and other classroom needs.

Priority Students - the students below recently lost their sponsor and are at risk of losing their education.
