Child of Hope is making huge improvements for slum children and their families from its school in Eastern Uganda.
The charity provides free education, healthcare, welfare, food and clothing to children from the poorest and most vulnerable families. Helping their mothers start a small business also helps lift the whole family out of the worst excesses of poverty.
Their work takes place in the Namatala slum near Mbale, where the charity has built its nursery/ primary school. Survivors from years of strife in the north struggle to make ends meet and up to 30,000 people live there, around half of which are school age.
Poverty prevents most of them going to school.
