Help Us to save the New Hope Children’s hostel – A lifeline for disadvantaged children battling cancer.
Our New Hope Children’s Hostel rental premises are up for sale and to keep our doors open we urgently need to raise 270 million UGX ($75,000) to buy these premises, so we secure a permanent home for the hostel. The donations from our supporters, in particular local communities has been amazing. Thank You! So far we have raised over 168 million UGX. We have until 30 April 2025 to raise the remaining amount.
These amazing children can teach us all how faced with adversity we can still enjoy life.
The hostel opened its doors in 2016 and in that time over 800 children and their caregivers have been provided support with accommodation, meals, counselling, medical and transport to and from Uganda Cancer Institute (UCI) where the children receive their oncology treatment.
Currently the hostel is next door to the KHC medical facility and close to UCI hospital and this is important as the children do it tough with their treatment, the short travelling time makes it easier for them and if one of the children need emergency medical treatment, they are close to the hospital.
