Partner With Us
This Is Hope is a nonprofit founded to provide Hope to vulnerable women, children, and elderly people by assisting, supporting, and strengthening communities with improved healthcare, nutrition, and education. This is the Hope we have through Jesus Christ.
What We Do
NUTRITION
​
This Is Hope provides children and the elderly with malnutrition care in the Karamoja in the Moroto District.
​
Over 89,000 children aged 6 to 59 months and 10,000 pregnant or lactating women are expected to suffer from acute malnutrition in the Karamoja region.
​
Food is very hard to grow due to the climate and lack of rain.
BIRTHING KITS
​
In Uganda, women must provide basic medical supplies to the clinic to give birth with the assistance of medical staff. If they don't have these items with them, they are turned away. Many women give birth with unsafe medical supplies such as rusty razor blades to cut the umbilical cord or give birth in the dark with the help of a mid wife in their village. There is also a high incidence of death from hemorrhage during the night due to lack of electricity.
​
This Is Hope provides Birthing Kits to pregnant women who can't obtain these supplies due to lack of funds. Our kits include a flashlight, medical supplies, an outfit and blanket for the baby. and a gospel track.
EDUCATION AND HYGIENE
​​
Poor hygiene practices and inadequate sanitary conditions play a major role in communicable diseases within developing countries. We believe with education and resources, villages will be able to decrease their risk of disease. Our goal is to help with soap, feminine hygiene pads and access to clean water.​
​
We offer hygiene classes three times a week in the community and provide a cup of porridge. For most, this is the only meal they will receive for the day. This also allows for sharing the Gospel.
