HOPE CHILDREN HOME​
Introduction: The number of children at Hope Children’s Home project is based on a targeted plan. Due to the increasing number of industries and growth of the town most of the children have left their homes to travel to urban areas to look for jobs in industry or casual labour but have found themselves failing to get employment. Due to the deathrate of infected people with HIV/AIDS, the number of widowed ord divorce women, lack of love and security in the families, Family disputes, unwanted pregnancy of sexually dumped girls; these street children are left without care and support. These children are involved in different things such as participating in anti social, criminal activities. Therefore, we have provided these children with a home locatged in the national building by providing care, support and protection in our HOPE CHILDREN’S HOME.
Hope Children Home Mission: To provide the Street children at Hope Children’s Home the care, support and protection through shelter, food and quality education.​  
Hope Children Home Project Overview: In spite of focused development and special provision for acceleratedsocio-economic development of disadvantaged sections, the issue of street children and children who are vulnerable due to life away from their families is not cleary expressed. At Lubugu’s which is our targeted project area, there are many children living on the streets. The problem is acute due to the growth of the town and the revolution of industries. Due to the number of Deaths of infected people, Re-marriage of D Widowed / Divorce women, lack of love and security in the families, Family peace, rejected pregnancy of sexually exploited girls; these street children are left without care and support. These children are involved and participating in anti social, criminal activities. Therefore, we have provided these children at Hope Children’s Home the care, support and protection that they so desperately need. The project proposed is meant for additional support to run Hope Children’s Home. Though there are some challenges which we have faced such as:• Collecting them from the street to get them back to their families• To make them feel like normal children• To determine the best treatment for behavioral issues due to living on the streets

This Hope Children’s Home consists of a team of 4 Care Teachers, One Vocational instructor, one English teacher and one watchman All children are provided with 3 nutritious meals per day, one set of books and 4 sets of uniforms and regular dresses. Every child has the opportunity for indoor and out-door recreation and play facilities along with training in crafts and hobbies.
