Hope House

Mission: To care for orphaned, abandoned and special needs infants in keeping with the ultimate mission of “bringing the Fatherhood of God to the fatherless”.

Goals: 
* To love those who have been tossed aside by the world with the love of God.

* To reach out to families in the community who are taking care of orphaned or abandoned babies  by providing formula, basic baby care items, and training. 

Overview
Hope House, the baby home here at New Hope, began in 1999 when Matthew and Julie Shorack took seven babies into their home.  Since that day, over 35 babies have passed through Hope House.

Hope House is the only babies home in the district of Nakaseke, and is unusual in that it is one of a kind outside Kampala.

The longest serving live-in mom, Twinomujuni Hope, has been at Hope House since 2004 intially as a volunteer and then became Head Mom in 2006.  The most babies she has cared for at one time at Hope House is 12, and at the moment there are six little ones living there, aged between seven months and two years.

The building that houses these babies has four bedrooms – two for the children, and one each for the two full time moms.  There is a central living room with kitchen area, and two porches where the babies can play, and where ironing and washing is done.  The house has a typical outside Ugandan kitchen.

Hope House is currently located on the secondary school site, but building has started in a more central location on the primary site.  This building is much bigger, with capacity to hold up to 20 babies, and more space for the live in carers.
