The Mayor and HALO Youth
For thousands of kids around the world, HALO represents far more than food and shelter. It represents the day their entire life changed.
This day for HALO kids in Uganda was their graduation day! Youth in the HALO Uganda Learning Center graduated amongst their friends and community to celebrate all their hard work.
HALO youth received their diplomas from HALO staff and the mayor, who supports their skills training at the Learning Center. This celebration was followed by pictures and cake, making this moment in their life, something they'll cherish forever!
Thank you for supporting the growth of the Ugandan HALO Learning Center through your donations. Because of you, we are able to include more certification programs, reach more HALO youth, and say "yes" to children, just like a family would.

Uganda Mixes Fun with Fitness!

Zumba
Whenever there is a break from school, HALO youth in Uganda are able to just be kids! With the extra time on their hands, they can play sports, exercise, and have fun!
They do Zumba together, dancing and celebrating. They also spend time holding discussions at the Learning Center, honing their cosmetology skills. HALO Youth in Uganda go so far to hold a Sports Day, where they join in many activities together, including soccer. Some youth even practice Taekwondo!
Thanks to support from our wonderful donors like yourself, HALO kids in Uganda don't have to worry about anything other than being a kid! Help us make this upcoming summer memorable and fun for kids who deserve it the most.

First Day of School

First time in their new school uniforms
After living on the streets, five boys moved into the HALO Kibuli Home last year in Uganda. They had never attended school before, so HALO mentors and caretakers prepared them through homeschooling. Following two terms of homeschool work and preparation, these new HALO youth attended their official first day of school ever on September 25th!
HALO Staff voiced the boys' excitement for all aspects of school. From wearing uniforms to attending class, the boys are doing great with their academics being on track! The boys' only complaint is that the school lunch portions are smaller than what they were used to at the HALO Home. Because of this, every day the boys come home, HALO Staff has snacks ready for them, so they can stay focused on the new joy of being a student at school.
Thank you for your support in providing every child that comes to HALO with a quality education! Your generosity shows HALO youth like the Kibuli Home boys that they can reach their fullest potential.
