Jesus is alive in the hardest places to be a child.
So that is where we go. In Masaka, Rukungiri and on Ssese Island, we give children a home, an education and a future, one child at a time.
It began with an open home.
Jacqui and the late Wesley Forde saw war, HIV/AIDS and poverty stealing children’s futures. So they opened their home in Masaka to children who had lost hope. A family began.
Many of those children are now doctors, engineers, social workers and business people.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”Jeremiah 29:11, the verse our ministry was founded on
A home, a classroom and a trade.
Three places in Uganda where your gift becomes something you can see: a safe family, a stronger school, and a skill that lasts.
WOH Love Houses
Children aged 6 to 21 grow up in a loving family, with food, clothing, healthcare, schooling and faith.
Aunt Elvi Mikkola Primary School
Over 400 of the poorest children in the area attend. Many walk long distances to get there.
Kalaya Vocational Training Centre
A one-year course in tailoring or catering, with counselling and mentoring, so young women can support themselves.
Know the child you’re helping.
Sponsorship is personal. You’ll learn your child’s name, see their face and hear from them in their own words as they grow.
“Dear sponsor. Thank you for choosing me as your sponsored child. I am doing well in this school year and will study hard to show you that I am grateful.”
“The spiritual, physical and psychosocial benefits I got from WOH changed my life forever.”
Phiona Nalweysio grew up in one of the Forde family’s Love Houses and graduated from Makerere University. Today she runs the WOH office, including the sponsorship records and letters.
“I am very happy that I am going to school because of your gifts to me. I will be successful in life and make a difference in the world.”
“I thank you for providing a new and great way for me to go to school and have a meal to eat. Your generosity has made my life happy.”
“I just wanted to say thank you for everything you do for me. Getting your package of gifts has made me very happy.”
Three ways to give hope.
Every gift matters, whatever its size. Choose what fits your budget and your heart.
Sponsor a child
Walk alongside one child through school and beyond, with letters and updates along the way.
Give monthly or once
Help run the Love Houses and meet urgent needs. All donations are tax deductible.
Shop with purpose
Send a gift straight to your sponsored child, or to a child or family with the greatest need.
