Hope Street is the result of a prayer offered over 20 years ago by Holly Suber which simply said, "Lord, give me a passion for something with eternal significance." As an artist, Holly had a strong sense that somehow there was going to be a connection between her art and Uganda, a country she fell in love with. Under Holly's passion and leadership, Hope Street has grown into a mighty ministry that has been used by God to bring hope, education, nutrition and the Gospel to Uganda for decades.
Hope Street Mission Uganda supports local communities in Uganda by providing:
-meals
-medical care
-education
-technology
-teacher salaries at four local schools.
-sponsorships
Through Hope Street's investment in local churches and schools in Uganda, many transformative projects and more importantly, transformation of people and communities has taken place. Just this year, Hope Street has provided: a new roof for a mission home, playground equipment, laptops, textbooks, sports equipment, facilities repairs and upgrades as well as sponsoring kids in the primary, secondary and even university education.
Child sponsorship is a powerful ministry opportunity for you and your family to make a huge difference in the life of a child and their family in Uganda. Through monthly financial support, your child will have the opportunity to attend Christian school and receive an education, spiritual development and even physical nourishment through meals. In addition, your sponsorship helps the school thrive - through curriculum, teacher's salaries, clean water, feeding programs, boarding opportunities and more!
You will be matched with a child in need of a sponsor. We do our best to honor any requests that you make as we realize sponsorship fosters personal connections and relationships... and that is our goal! We want you to know your sponsored child and for your child to get to know you. We will help facilitate that communication process so that the relationship can develop and grow.
Sponsorship payments can be done yearly, quarterly or monthly. Twice a year we send a statement showing the amount given and the commitment. It is most helpful if payments can be made prior to start of term (January, May, August) or on a regular schedule. Payments can be handled online or by check and we are happy to guide you through that process.
Primary sponsorships are $360 a year. When a child enters Secondary after Primary 7, the sponsorship amount increases to $600/year. We will ask you during the P7 year if you are able to increase your sponsorship to that level the following year. If not, we will look for a second sponsor to come alongside and help the child finish their final years of schooling.
