Our ministry began as a response to the needs of the community. Willy’s small hometown in eastern Uganda lacks widespread access to quality education, and is home to one of the country’s most serious orphan crises as a result of the AIDS epidemic. We exist to meet these needs by providing a high quality education for children, income-generation skills for their families, and a nurturing home for orphans and homeless children in the community. After a tumultuous childhood, Willy experienced a burst of hope. A Christian international ministry offered the support he needed to complete his education — and excel in it. Willy went on to complete his degree and facilitate a primary school for that organization. Burdened with a desire to see hope restored to his own community and holding the expertise of an education professional, he moved back to Busia to start Give Hope.
