All of these children are in Springs of Hope Child Sponsorship
program.
According to UNICEF, Uganda has 2.5 million
orphans. Of that number, 1.2 million are orphaned by AIDS.
In Uganda familial and tribal ties are very
strong. Communities, families and friends are motivated to
look after orphan children in their homes. This is much more
true than in other cultures around the world, including the
West.
However there are many orphans that need care
and Springs of Hope has a burden to establish this child sponsorship
program.
