Bridge Of Hope Africa Ministries

Child sponsorship fees cover school tuition, scholastics, uniforms, and shoes for children in the program, as well as boarding school costs and requirements for secondary, vocational, and university students. It also includes periodic skills training and life coaching for students and parents as well as home visits and check-ins by sponsorship coordinators. Medical and dental coverage is also offered at nearby clinics and hospitals, as well as access to mental health services such as group and one-on-counseling sessions for all children in the program. Bible Club sessions and yearly youth camps offer mentorship and fun-filled activities with their peers.

Child gifts provided by US-based donors are wired directly to the office in Uganda. These child gift donations allow staff to purchase food and critical supplies for sponsored children and for the families of sponsored children. Many families lack the basic, everyday necessities to allow them to fully function and to be lifted out of poverty. Providing such basics as a mattress, a food package, a hygiene kit, or solar panel is a tangible and substantial way to help families in need. A vast majority of families in BOHAM?s program lack proper bedding and most sponsored children go without food during school breaks. Thankfully, child gifts are one way that sponsors and ministry partners can give above and beyond to sponsored children within the program. In 2024, over 150 children were impacted by child gifts; a total of 1,554 gifts were provided from donors.

Special projects are designated toward major needs in the community, including medical needs, housing improvements, pit latrines, and job skills training.
