Our Leadership
New Hope Uganda leadership is a multicultural team working side by side in ministry. It is our desire to employ local Ugandans as the majority of our ministry staff as this is the most effective way to reach the local community. Currently, nearly 90% of our staff are local Ugandan missionaries. Our governing bodies include a Ugandan board & finance committee, and 3 advisory boards in the U.S., U.K., and Canada.
