Sponsor A Child
Children Waiting for Sponsors. Give them Hope!
After you decide which child you would like to sponsor, please complete the Sponsorship Pledge Form. Standard sponsorship is $300 a year which is $25 a month. This amount covers tuition, uniforms, books, lunch fee, school requirements, and other basic supplies like pens and pencils, geometry set, shoes, cloths, etc.
However, if you cannot afford $300 a year, you may consider making a general donation toward the Teachers’ Salary Fund. This fund provides education for many other orphan students who don’t have sponsors yet. About 40% of our students can’t afford to pay and we let them study until we can find sponsors for them. These students had previously dropped out of school due to financial reasons. By supporting the Teachers’ Salary Fund you sponsor more than one student.
After submitting the form, mail check made to Uganda Rural Fund at P.O. Box 388, West Springfield, MA 01090. You can also make your donation online through PayPal but remember PayPal deducts a processing fee; so not 100% goes to your child. If you have any questions, please contact John Mary: jmlugemwa@ugandaruralfund.org or 763-291-1102. Thanks for providing education support for needy children!

Bridget Nabulya, 20 Years Old
Am Nabulya bridget 20yrs old . I am the only child to my mother but I am not the only dependant. I never had chance to share great moments with my dad as he passed away when I was still a baby; he passed away in the same year I was born. So I have been raised by mother. My mother operates a local food vandal and from this business she has been able to support all of us who depend entirely on her. I’m asthmatic and this has given my mother a very had time mostly when it came to paying my medical bills and my tuition. But now the situation has put mother in a very tight corner as she can no longer afford my education costs at the University. This has diminished my dream of completing my education and help out some of my young ones. I joined University last year to study Information Technology. I completed a semester but I didn’t sit for all exams because I failed to complete the tuition. I have been trying to get scholarships but what makes me feel sad is that some people want marriage in return, if not sleeping with me of which I can’t submit to.
I’m left with two and a half years to complete this course. I want to became an IT consultant and I have my big dream of starting up my own IT firm in Uganda and East Africa at large. The tuition for each semester and hostel amount to $700. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. My hobbies include making new friends, sharing my culture, music, dancing and cracking jokes with my friends
Benon Tumuhimbise, 17 Years Old
Living in a house of bricks and mud, a poorly constructed door neither safe nor secure, Benon must work to help provide for himself and his family. A broken back prevents his mother from helping, so Benon and his siblings must farm for food. Lacking the expendable income necessary for medication or scholastic materials, the family relies on government hospitals for their medical care, and family friend, Nakalema Jordan, for emergency assistance. Benon needs the funds to help him attend Hope Integrated Academy regularly.
Richard K
asajja, Age 18
A student at Hope Academy in Senior 4 (Grade 11), Richard lives with his step-mother, Namata, and two step-brothers, Birimuye and Sserungo in a poorly-conditioned house with a leaky roof and no beds. In order to obtain the money necessary for their basic needs, the family farms and sells food, which is difficult because they lack enough for themselves. In addition, Richard lacks financial support from his step-mother and two uncles. When sick, Richard obtains treatment from clinics but can rarely pay for medications when sick. He could use all the financial support possible.
Ss
ozi Edward, Age 16
Ssozi was born into a large family- he lives with five brothers and sisters, as well as his Aunt Maurisia. While he has plenty of company, their house is too small for such a large family. Ssozi attends Hope Academy where he is Senior 2 (Grade 9). His aunt owns a small piece of land which Ssozi farms and use the food they make to sell for money. While he enjoys playing football, Ssozi complains of pains in his chest. The family cannot afford medical care, so a sponsorship would go a long way to helping Ssozi.
Mus
isi Julius, Age 16
Living in a rented housing with a poor door, windows, and roofs, Musisi and his mother struggle to provide for themselves. His mother, Kulabako Ruth, works at a hair salon, yet his father has disappeared and no one knows where he is. His grandmother is sick but they are only able to pay for small amounts of medication. Musisi is in Senior 4 (Grade 11) at Hope Academy and hopes to one day become an engineer. A sponsorship will do a lot to help him.
