Together
we can make a difference
Spring
of Hope is a
community-based rehabilitation non- profit organisation for children
with
disabilities in rural areas of Uganda. We currently work with 500
children and
their families in the areas of education, physiotherapy, awareness
raising and
income generating projects. Our aim is to see that these children are
able to
reach their true potential. Before the work of Spring of Hope began
disabled
children were being abused, locked away and tied up due to the stigma
of
disability.
We
hope to see children
with disabilities fully accepted into all areas of community and family
life in
Uganda.
Spring
of Hope is based in
Kayunga district, Kangulumira Sub-county. The programme started in
August 2004
working alongside another organisation; it gradually grew and developed
with
the services extending to the neighbouring districts wherever possible.
In
2011, Spring of Hope Uganda SoHUG was registered as a Community Based
Organisation (CBO) in its own right.
