Who we are
Hope & Care is an indigenous, Christ-centered ministry and social enterprise committed to meeting the spiritual, social, and economic needs of individuals and communities so they can flourish.
We exist to bring hope, healing, and transformation by embracing children at risk, empowering next-generation youth, and inspiring underserved communities.
We advance this mission through three core pillars:
- Expanding Educational Access & Literacy
- Increasing Employability & Income Opportunities
- Improving Health & Wellness
Who We Serve
We bring our solutions closer by making them accessible to those who need them most:
- Children at Risk
- Next-Generation Youth
- Underserved Communities
What We Believe
We believe FAITH should shape the whole of life, and that people flourish when they have access to the knowledge, skills, resources and opportunities they need.
How We Work
We work locally, practically and relationally, partnering with communities to create pathways toward flourishing.
Where It Began
-
The Roots: Long before Hope & Care was established, a family had learned to live through hardship, displacement, rescue, and the daily struggle to survive. Yet, even with little, they shared food and fruit from their garden with their neighbors. These experiences shaped a lasting conviction: what we have can become a source of hope for others.
-
1993 — Mpigi: John responds to God’s call and plants the first church, beginning a journey of serving communities and bringing hope.
-
1994 — Education Begins: A small school begins in church spaces to meet the educational needs of children in the community.
-
2001 — Kalonga, Mubende: John relocates to Kalonga, Mubende, preaching the Gospel and planting churches.
-
2011 – Birth of Hope&Care: Hope & Care was born from a desire to respond to the practical needs of orphans, vulnerable children, widows, and struggling families. The work initially focused on helping vulnerable children access education.
-
2016 — Expanding to Wakiso: The work expanded to Wakiso, including the establishment of a school to serve children and families in the community.
-
2024 — Reformation
- The future — The vision for Hope&Care remains the same. We are going to continue to lift up the name of Jesus and reach the lost and hurting in our communities.
Impact in focus: Orphans have found care and a safe place to grow; widows have received support in distress; and youth are gaining life skills to overcome poverty and thrive.
