Mission
Provide Ugandan children in desperate need with access to education, health care, and Christian discipleship to develop their unique potential of becoming future change agents for their society.
Program accomplishments
- Support of the Uganda office has enabled the direct tangible support of children and their families. This expense covers community development, discipleship, and related supplies. Many of our Ugandan staff are former sponsored children who personally experienced the life-transforming effects of being assisted out of poverty. They understand firsthand the needs of the communities we serve and are passionate about finding solutions to poverty. Each day, staff interact with families and provide support in the form of social work. They provide regular home visits and phone calls to check on families and offer tangible, emotional, and spiritual support. Community development training works to teach and enhance skills for families in our program, including training on: parenting, hygiene/sanitation, family planning, etc.Expenses $224,336 · grants $128,506
- 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.Expenses $182,859 · grants $182,859 · revenue $286,920
- 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 BOHAMs 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 2025, over 150 children were impacted by child gifts. A total of 1,433 gifts were provided from donors, totaling $97,785 in donations.Expenses $35,016 · grants $35,016 · revenue $97,785
- Special projects are designated toward major needs in the community, including medical needs, housing improvements, pit latrines, and job skills training.Expenses $13,958
