Hopebuilders International’s Village of Hope began construction in January 2009 on the 4 acres of land that it had acquired in 2008. This lovely block of land sits on the high side of the Jinja District with a view of Lake Victoria, in the Wairaka parish. The property is a corner block which is adjacent to the Uganda base for YWAM called Hopelands.

The Village of Hope consist of 14 homes which are each designed to house up to 8 orphans and a house mother, who in most cases is a widow. These homes provide the opportunity for these children to grow up in a family environment, that provides holistic care. The village also includes an administration centre which houses staff and offices for the running of the village, as well as vocational and other life-skill type training programs for the mothers and children as well.

The Village of Hope has various revenue generating initiatives that centred around agriculture and farming that the mothers and children undertake. Visiting teams take part in various maintenance projects around the village, as well as participating in cultural exchange activities and games. These times are a huge encouragement to the residents of the village and the community. Visit our Teams of Hope page if you would like to explore further.
