Uganda Projects
There are over 4,000,000 orphans of parents who died from AIDS in Africa. That number is expected to grow to 14,000,000 within the next 10 years.
Hope 4 Kids has directly responded to the critical physical needs of AIDS stricken villagers by improving water and electrical utility infrastructures, digging wells, building a medical/dental clinic and a 66-bed hospital. Hundreds benefit from the 200+ acre agricultural and animal farm stocked with goats, pigs, cows and chickens. Future projects include building orphan cottages, a boarding school and a life skills center which will enable this community to become self-sufficient.

Nearly half of the population of Africa, close to 300 million people, live in extreme poverty barely surviving on $1 a day. According to World Bank, that number is expected to increase to 400 million by 2015. Many are without the basics: food, clean water, shelter, healthcare and education. At least 44 million primary school-aged children are not attending school. More than 12 million children in Africa are orphaned by the AIDS epidemic along with Malaria and Measles which are all preventable and treatable diseases. Hope 4 Kids International is committed to providing relief to the global AIDS crisis by delivering medicine throughout local communities affected by extreme poverty and disease.
