On April 26th BHIK-U celebrated our 8th anniversary. Building Hope in Kids - Uganda was incorporated as a nonprofit organization 4/26/2017. We didn’t imagine at that time how far our mission and Father’s dream would come in 8 years! We began raising money “brick by brick” with donations (even birthday money from grade school students!), then expanded fundraising to selling T-shirts, pounds of coffee, haircuts, and tickets to ballgames. Construction began in 2018. Our first school year began in February, 2019 with the classroom building also providing living quarters for boarding students on the second floor. Meals, Masses and assemblies were held in the dining/all-purpose hall for the 318 students. Our campus has expanded from 4.5 to approximately 7 acres, with 923 students and a staff of over 60 making full use of 12 buildings, 4 sports fields, and two water wells. Our students have achieved excellent scores in the annual national exams, and 253 of them are being sponsored (including secondary schools). Their own dreams are amazing: civil engineer, surgeon, cardiologist, orphanage founders, priest, religious Brother… because of the hope they’ve been given by so many supporters of BHIK-U.

THANKS TO ALL OF YOU!!
