At New Hope Uganda, our vision is to “bring the fatherhood of God to the fatherless” (Psalm 68:5 6, NIV: “A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families…”).
Since the beginning, our ministry has embraced vulnerable children into family groups led by married couples who serve as father and mother figures. This family model provides love, stability, and guidance, helping children grow into responsible, God-fearing citizens. Over the years, more than 3,000 children have been nurtured through New Hope Families, many of whom now serve their communities and nation with integrity.
Family Parents and the Support System
Family Parents: The Heart of New Hope Families
At the center of every New Hope family group is an officially married couple who serve as father and mother figures. These family parents embody the fatherhood of God in daily life—providing love, discipline, guidance, and stability. They create a true home environment where children feel safe, valued, and nurtured. Their presence ensures that each child experiences what it means to belong to a family, not just an institution.
Family Parents guide children in morning and evening devotions, oversee daily routines, and model Christian character. They are role models who help children grow into responsible, God‑fearing citizens. Their commitment is the heartbeat of our ministry.
The Support System Around Family Parents
Raising children is never done alone. At New Hope Uganda, family parents are surrounded by a strong support network that multiplies their impact:
- Family Associates – step in when parents are on leave or need assistance, ensuring continuity of care.
- Mentors – provide spiritual and emotional guidance, walking alongside children in their personal growth.
- Teachers – nurture academic excellence and character development through New Hope’s schools.
- The Church – church leaders help in discipling children through various church programs, such as youth camps, Sunday School activities, and others.
This holistic support system ensures that children receive consistent love, education, and discipleship. It strengthens family parents and allows them to focus on building strong, Christ‑centered homes.
A Day in Families
Life inside New Hope Families is vibrant, purposeful, and deeply rooted in faith. Every day is carefully structured to nurture children spiritually, academically, and emotionally—while equipping them with practical skills for the future.
- Morning & Evening Devotions – Each day begins and ends with prayer and Scripture. Children gather with their family parents to sing, read the Bible, and pray together. These moments set the tone for their day, reminding them that God loves them.
- Education & Learning – After morning chores, children head to our schools, located onsite. Teachers not only provide academic instruction but also mentor them in character, discipline, and faith. Our partners make it possible for these children to receive an education that prepares them for a brighter future.
- Chores & Life Skills – Back at home, children learn responsibility through gardening, cooking, and household tasks. They take pride in eating food they have grown themselves, building resilience and self-confidence. These skills ensure they can thrive as independent adults when they leave New Hope.
- Church & Community – Weekends and evenings are filled with youth programs, choir practice, and fellowship. Many children discover their gifts in music, worship, and leadership. It is inspiring to watch them grow into ministers and community leaders, carrying the fatherhood of God into the wider world.
- Leisure & Joy – Families also celebrate life together. Movie nights, games, and music bring laughter and joy. Even leisure activities are carefully chosen to strengthen spiritual growth and build lasting memories of belonging.
This rhythm of faith, learning, responsibility, and joy transforms children from vulnerable beginnings into strong, capable adults. It is a joy to see them grow into leaders, ministers, and responsible citizens.
Opening Doors of Hope: Reviving Families
Currently, our family groups across Kasana and Kobwin are alive with laughter, prayer, and learning—caring for 88 children who are thriving in the embrace of love and faith. Yet, a number stand closed, not because the need has disappeared, but because financial resources have been tight. Behind those closed doors are vulnerable children still waiting for a place to belong and be cared for. They wait for a father’s guidance, a mother’s embrace, and the daily rhythm of family life that restores dignity and hope.
With your partnership, these homes can reopen. Your generosity will not only sustain the families already in operation but will also unlock new doors of refuge for dozens more children. Every gift you give is more than financial support—it is a key that opens the door to safety, education, spiritual growth, and the joy of belonging. Together, we can extend the fatherhood of God to the fatherless, ensuring that no child is left outside looking in. When you give, you are helping us turn closed houses into living homes filled with prayer, laughter, and the promise of a brighter future.
Every Gift Opens the Door to Hope
Every gift you give is more than financial support—it is a lifeline. It rescues children from despair, restores them to family, and rebuilds destinies filled with promise.
Today, we celebrate the families still in operation across Kasana and Kobwin. Because of faithful partners like you, they remain places of prayer, laughter, learning, and love. For decades, they have stood as living testimonies of God’s fatherhood, raising children who grow into responsible, God-fearing citizens. We honor and appreciate the generosity that has sustained them all these years
