The Children’s Beacon of Hope Foundation was founded by a team that understands the challenges of growing up in poverty because we have lived them. Our leadership experienced firsthand the barriers that keep children out of school in Luweero District – the impossible choice between food and school fees, the lack of basic supplies, and the cycle of poverty that traps families for generations.
What began as informal mentoring and support for neighborhood children has grown into a comprehensive organization committed to serving vulnerable children and families across Luweero District. We don’t just study poverty – we’ve overcome it, and now we’re dedicated to creating pathways for others to do the same.
To transform vulnerable children’s lives in Luweero District by ensuring equitable access to quality education, comprehensive health services, and economic opportunities while building climate-resilient communities that leave no child behind, directly contributing to the achievement of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
A future where every child in Uganda has access to quality education, a supportive environment, and the opportunity to realize their full potential.

We don’t just provide services – we build systems. Our comprehensive model addresses the interconnected causes of child vulnerability through five integrated programs that work together to break poverty cycles:

When children have access to quality education, families achieve economic stability, and communities become environmentally sustainable, and poverty cycles are broken permanently.
Community-Rooted Leadership
Our board and staff are from the communities we serve. We understand local culture, speak local languages, and have the trust that comes from shared experience.
