Dearest Donors,

Thank you for your continued support of our programs at Hope Center Uganda! Uplift has allowed hundreds of women to start their own businesses, and HCU is providing hands-on guidance in starting agricultural and sanitary pads production businesses. We are also going to enter the hospitality industry this summer, with a community cafe that trains and employs locals to serve fine Ugandan coffee in our beautiful setting! 

So far, our loan repayment rates are over 99% and we have served 750 women.  These women are the heads of households of an average size of 7, so we've been able to directly impact the lives of over 5,000 individuals in Northern Uganda!

We can't wait to see what the future holds.

To read more about Hope Center Uganda's innovative approaches to development, check out the talk that founders Jamie Stuart and Kevin Okumu gave at the international Institute for Cultural Diplomacy's 2019 Forum for Development in Africa.

Thanks always,

TEAM HCU <3
