What the Mission Trip Will Be Like

BeFunky-collage (7).jpg

Uganda has a very young population. Over 800,000 children have been orphaned due to AIDS alone. H4KI has directly responded to the critical physical needs of children in remote villages by improving water and electrical utility infrastructures, drilling wells, education, and community development. In addition, H4KI works alongside local partners to support feeding programs, educational growth, and village renovations. 

In 2018, we were able to purchase our Ministry and Education Campus in Tororo, Uganda, which serves as the home base for all of our projects in the country. This campus provides office space for all the ministries, departments, and projects our staff in Uganda oversee, as well as Fairmont Christian Secondary School and the Brandom Vocational Skills Center. Plans are underway to provide quality secondary education to hundreds of children, as well as for a medical center and sports complex.

On a mission trip to Uganda, you'll have the opportunity to serve in a number of different areas, including visiting your sponsored child, helping at medical outreaches, construction projects, safe water celebrations and outreach, as well as engaging with our ministry partners and their local church family. During our safe water outreach, you will experience the hope and joy of witnessing a village receive life-sustaining water through sponsored wells for the first time! You will be a part of educating the importance of clean water and sanitation as well as delivering water filtration devices. Alongside our safe water outreach, you will also have the opportunity to assist with medical outreaches. You will have the chance to help with wellness checks for our children, address medical needs of the local community and serve patients in the local hospital. You will also have the opportunity to educate and deliver hygiene kits to children, deliver and serve food along with other necessities. If you are someone who enjoys craftsmanship, you will be able to help with construction and local service projects that will have a lasting effect on the community. When visiting with your sponsored child, you will have an opportunity to visit the Hope 4 Kids Campus, distribute “Dress a Girl'' dresses, school supplies, play sports and games with children while encouraging them at school or in their community. You may also participate in a “Women’s Spa Day” to honor widows and let them know they are valued. Lastly, you have the unique opportunity to attend church and local church events with our ministry partners, giving a chance to encourage and give hope to the pastors and their church family. Each trip is unique and supports our long term partners and programs.

You'll experience firsthand…

  •  the smile of a child able to attend school for the very first time

  •  the joy of a community celebrating the gift of clean, life-sustaining water

  •  the thanks of a widow whose hands you have held in support

  •  the rich culture of a different country

Relation of Opportunity to National Church and/or Long-term Goals

For over 50 years, Hope 4 Kids International has been committed to serving children living in impoverished environments around the world by establishing economic, spiritual, water, orphan, and feeding programs. In addition to these programs, we have been leading teams of volunteers on two-week international mission trips bringing life-saving provisions and the spirit of Jesus. These short-term mission trips support long term partners and programs.

H4KI reaches out to every child and community through their 4 pillars of hope: Dignity, Health, Joy, and Love. By responding to critical needs, we can significantly impact lives and assist people who are struggling to survive in destitute communities in becoming self-sufficient.

Before Hope 4 Kids International begins serving in an area, we identify and establish a relationship with an existing ministry. H4KI makes a five-year commitment, minimum, in the area. We have been serving in Uganda since 2004!
