Four chapters, from a family home to whole communities.
Today our work reaches whole communities, strengthening families, local schools and churches.
Every child we support receives four kinds of care, so they can grow into responsible, productive adults.
School fees, uniforms and supplies, from kindergarten to university.
Regular, healthy meals, including school lunches.
Medical support when children need it most.
Spiritual nurturing and the love of a Christian family.
The team in Uganda includes Phiona, one of the children who grew up in the Love House.
An AIDS counsellor who ministers at schools across Uganda and has counselled former child soldiers and survivors of war. Together with her late husband Wesley, she opened their home to the children who became the Windows of Hope family.
One of the Love House children, now a Makerere University business graduate. She runs the office, the sponsorship records and the letters.
Supports the Windows of Hope office team with daily administration, records and correspondence.
Some of the children who grew up in the Windows of Hope family, in their own words.
The spiritual, physical and psychosocial benefits I got from WOH changed my life forever.
Among the biggest blessings I can count is that of belonging to the Forde family. I have enjoyed the great symphony of genuine love and brotherhood at the Love House.
We, who never had any picture of what our future would hold, have grown into responsible men and women thanks to Sis Jacqui.
We keep operating costs to a minimum, so your support goes to the children and the ministry.
Sponsorship starts at $35 a month, with letters, photos and yearly progress reports from your child.
