Give Hope. Change Lives.

A well is dug once and returned to for generations.

Ways to Give

Your gift doesn’t just meet a need today. It builds something a family can keep coming back to until they’re whole again.

Why Give

78,052 people are currently held in Uganda’s prisons. Over 90% of the children in our care had dropped out of school or were never in school at all before joining us.

Through your gift, you will positively transform the lives of inmates, children with imprisoned parents, and their families.

Your questions, answered with honesty

How soon after I begin my sponsorship will I receive my Welcome packet?
Within 14 business days we will send you a packet of information about WOH, our sponsorship Program, your child’s profile and photograph. If you sponsor your child annually, you will receive a renewal statement once a year. If you sponsor monthly, you will receive a monthly statement with your outstanding balance and monthly pledge commitment.
How does my sponsorship donation help my child?
For most children in Uganda, education is not free. Your sponsorship will provide your child the most important tool for their future well-being and success – a good education. Additionally, your contribution will shelter, clothe, feed and provide any necessary medical attention a child may require.
Can I meet my sponsored child?
This experience is very memorable for both the sponsor and the child and therefore we strongly recommend it. We ask that you plan your trip well in advance so that we can coordinate your visit with your child’s availability. Be sure to contact our office before you confirm any plans to visit your child. We want to ensure that your trip and visit with your child is a truly meaningful experience.
Can I send my child packages?
It is okay, it would go a long way to create and maintain the relationship between the sponsor and the child.
Can I send money directly to my sponsored child?
Sending monetary gifts directly to your child is not advisable. As previously mentioned, when one child receives a gift of any sort and others do not – children are heartbroken and extremely disappointed when left out. Wells of Hope strongly requests that you make donations directly to us so that we can administer in a manner that will not isolate the child, allowing a sense of community and joy amongst all our children.
Can I bring my sponsored child to my country for a visit?
We do not permit the children in our programs to visit their sponsors outside Uganda for many reasons. Primarily, we endeavor to protect the well-being of the children under our care and to ensure they remain closely connected to their beloved culture. We are happy to plan with you a visit so that you can spend time with your sponsored child. Please call our office in advance of your trip to make your arrangements.
