Serving Up Hope
By Karen Sparacio | Project Leader

Starting a better day by serving breakfast to children in Uganda has a transformative impact on their lives! A nutritious breakfast helps kids kick off their day with energy, improving their focus and performance in school. When children are well-fed, they’re more likely to engage actively in lessons, participate in activities, and absorb information effectively.
Providing breakfast also fosters a sense of community and care. When schools or communities come together to serve meals, it creates a warm, welcoming environment where children feel valued and supported.
Our breakfast program is a simple, yet powerful way, to start children's days off right, fueling their bodies and minds while nurturing a sense of belonging and community. It’s a small act that can lead to big changes, paving the way for brighter futures!
For just $50, you can feed 60 children breakfast. We invite you to join us.

These mugs won't be empty for long! Thanks for joining us in making sure these mugs stay full.
Life can be a balancing act. Having breakfast, shouldn't be.
Each morning, kids in the Acholi Quarter flock to our community center with empty plastic mug in hand, waiting for it to be filled with porridge. We feed over 200 children every day, making sure their bellies are full so they can go to school and learn.
Yes. We craft beautiful, handmade jewelry, but we do so much more. Our mission is to empower women in the Acholi Quarter and provide their children with the opportunity to achieve their dreams and shape a future that is not shackled by the poverty that surrounds them.
For $50, you can feed 60 children breakfast. Please join us as we seek to make a sustainable, positive impact transforming lives (and filling bellies) in Uganda’a Acholi Quarter.

Meet Dorine
By Karen Sparacio | Project Leader

Dorine studied in school until Primary 6 when her father died of tuberculosis. With no money to pay her school fees, Dorine went to work in the fields in northern Uganda.
In 1996, Dorine followed her husband to Kampala and found work in the stone quarry. She’d toil each day, breaking larger rocks into small pieces to be used in the foundation for homes and other construction. In 2005, Dorine’s husband left her for another, leaving her as the sole provider for their three children. He later passed away from a liver condition.
After struggling in the stone quarry for nearly 25 years, Dorine used money she earned making paper bead jewelry to set up a small business selling charcoal from her home front. Charcoal is a necessity in the Acholi Quarter where it is used as the main heating source for their small stoves. Dorine earns almost the same income selling charcoal as what she earned battling the quarry conditions.
Today, she runs a successful charcoal business and is one of the cooks who serves up hot porridge to children for our breakfast program.
Thank you Dorine for your work.
You can support our work of feeding children brekfast each morning for as little as $10. Consider joining forces with us today.
