Every child deserves access to quality education and resources. Yet, there are still communities across the globe without the support they need to provide for children—communities like Mbiko, Uganda. We believe that breaking the cycle of poverty starts by caring for these children.
By working with the Rock of Ages Community School to provide education, food, water, and healthcare, we can transform worlds, one student at a time.
We believe that education has the power to break the cycle of poverty and transform entire communities.
By providing the basic needs for children in Uganda and equipping them with a quality education, Hands4Uganda, in partnership with the Rock of Ages Community School are expanding opportunities for children and transforming their futures.
For students, an education in Uganda means:
Employment and higher education opportunities
Decrease in chronic illness and treatment
Protection from child sacrifice and prostitution
Opportunities to develop untapped talents
And much, much more!
About Rock of Ages Community School
Situated on a main highway connecting Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda, Mbiko has become known as a village of drug trade and prostitution, leaving many children under-resourced or completely abandoned by their parents.
Rock of Ages Community School is a non-denominational Christian school that serves over 400 children in the community of Mbiko and surrounding areas. Hands4Uganda provides funding to the school so that every child under its care has the opportunity to thrive.
Your monthly, tax-deductible donation gives your sponsored child a quality education, with opportunities to provide even more care for children and their families, including food, water, and healthcare.
Empower Rock of Ages School
Each donation supports school staff and facilities so that they can continue to create change at a local level in their own community.
