Basic Needs

There are more than 3.2 million orphans and abandoned children who regularly go hungry and sleep on the streets in Uganda. With no government resources to meet their needs, these children are left helpless and susceptible to preventable disease, violence, crime, and worse. They lack all basic life necessities including an education. Through sponsorship, you can meet their basic needs and provide them with hope for a better future.

For $50 per month, your child will receive:

• A safe and loving home
• Nutritious meals
• Primary school education(K-7 th grade)
• Clothing, including a school uniform and one pair of shoes per year
• A bed, mattress, and mosquito net
• Basic hygiene products, including soap and toothbrushes
• Basic medical and dental care
• Spiritual (Christ-centered) training

In return for your sponsorship, you will receive: 

• Information about your child to include: date of birth, history, and health status
• An updated picture of your child once per year
• Updates and/or letters from your child at least twice per year 
• Access to your child’s webpage to view their pictures and mailings
• The opportunity to send your child letters and gifts
• Periodic updates from Hands of Love USA

Once a child reaches middle school

Once a child reaches middle school or chooses to pursue a trade through vocational school, the cost to care for that child increases to $115 per month (an increase of $65). The change in cost is due primarily to text books, increased school fees and standardized tests. When a child graduates into secondary (middle) school or enters vocational school, he or she needs a Secondary Education Sponsor to continue in school. The child's Basic Needs Sponsor will be given the first opportunity to meet their child’s increased educational expenses through a Secondary Education Sponsorship.

For an additional $65 per month, your child will be provided:

• School fees
• Standardized test fees
• Uniforms
• Laboratory equipment and art supplies, if needed
• Text books
• One field trip per year

Opened in 2016, Our Maama Eseza’s Babies’ Home is where we care for Uganda’s youngest orphaned and abandoned children, from newborns to four years old. Babies are paired with one of our loving house moms until they are either reunited with family or grow old enough to transition to kindergarten at the local Hands of Love School. Every crib supported gets another abandoned child off the streets and provides them with:

• The nurturing care of a house mom assigned specifically to your crib
• Nutritious food
• Clothing
• A crib, mattress, and mosquito net
• One set of linens and a blanket
• Basic hygiene products, including soap and diapers
• Regular medical check-ups
• Spiritual (Christ-centered) training and love

At our Hands of Love schools our staff and teachers are life-changers. They not only teach, but provide stability, care, discipline, hope, and love to over 2,600 children. Children who were abandoned, wandering from nowhere to nowhere, left to fend for themselves in a hostile world. Each child dealing with their own unique set of emotional and physical issues that very few of us will ever understand. Imagine where these children would be without the daily influence of our teachers and staff? Help us support the angels who do the real work. We CANNOT do this without them, or you.

Your Support of our Ugandan staff provides:

• Wages
• Food
• Clean water
• Simple living accommodations
• Basic medical
• Security
