Fountains of Hope Works to improve the lives of children in Uganda. It is mandated to provide holistic care and social attention to needy children including orphans, those who toil under exploitative conditions of labor, and those who suffer abuses and other forms of discrimination.
For a poor person, everything is terrible – illness, humiliation, shame. We are like garbage that everyone wants to get rid of.’ Voices of the Poor – World Bank Report’
Poverty does more than exhaust, starve, trap and kill people. It destroys their sense of worth, limits their horizons, and robs people of the chance to reach their full potential. We do whatever it takes to end poverty and rebuild Hope for poor communities. We work through local churches, because they’re Jesus’ body on earth, ready to care for the whole person and the whole community – inside and out.
Our purpose
- To save the lives of children by providing medical care, food and nutrition and a loving home.
- To raise the children in our care to be productive and Godly people and to be a benefit to their community.
- To give children a high level of education to help them reach their lives in all its fullness.
- To give children a real chance to break the circle of poverty and dependence. By helping children move from lives of dependency to lives of self- sufficiency, they will have the confidence and knowledge to impact their communities with the grace they themselves have received.
- To be a blessing to the community by sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, assisting the poor and the vulnerable wherever possible and to give sustainable hope for the children and their communities by the programs put in place by this ministry.

The plight of orphaned children in Uganda
The children that comes to us have suffered incomprehensible hardship starting with the loss of their parents and rejection from relatives; and to that poverty, diseases and homelessness. Many of the children that comes to us have been abandoned: some come to us with no name and have no record of their birth or family. Can you imagine a doctor count your teeth to estimate your age?
While these suffering seems insurmountable, love and acceptance can overcome most things. The love the children under our care receive comes not just from our staffs, but from their new brothers and sisters.
