In 2010 when we first visited Raising Up Hope for Uganda, the kids had safety. Usually they had food.
In 2011, we focused on making education a reality for all of them. In 2012, we knew we had to address the issue of space.

Friends and Supporters of Raising Up Hope for Uganda,THANK YOU to everyone who donated to support Raising Up Hope during this difficult time! We just passed our goal of $10,000! We are so grateful for those who have stood with us and responded to the needs of our brothers and sisters in Uganda!
Below is an update we received from Patrick to pass on to all of you. Patrick asked that we not post this full message on Facebook due to concern that the Ugandan government will find out that RUHU has provided assistance to their community. Friends and Supporters of Raising Up Hope in Uganda,
We wanted to send you a brief update on the impact of the coronavirus in Uganda and on RUHU in particular. If you are like me, over the past few weeks of Covid-19 quarantine, you have been looking back on your problems longingly. A few months ago, our church had to move an event to a new location. It felt like a MAJOR issue. Now we're trying to allay life and death anxieties and plan for a virtual Easter service.
Friends and Supporters of Raising Up Hope in Uganda,
We wanted to keep you informed on how the current state of the world is affecting RUHU's staff and kids. This week, Uganda's President announced school closures and other closures similar to those happening around the world. This spring marks 10 years from the beginning of Beautiful Response. Throughout 2020, we will be tracing the growth of Raising Up Hope for Uganda and Beautiful Response in our monthly emails.
During the spring semester of our Junior year, Sonja and I studied abroad in Uganda. After our academic program ended, we decided to spend two weeks at an orphanage Thank you for your giving in 2019! Truthfully, it is difficult to capture the impact of your generosity. Below you'll find a chart breaking down Beautiful Response's 2019 expenses.
But what does it all mean? 103 kids attended school and received the full-time care of the RUHU family. 250+ kids attended the RUHU Primary School. 30+ Ugandans were employed with meaningful work. Patrick was able to continue his life-changing and life-saving work in Kampala's slums. But numbers and charts can't capture everything. Photos help. Choosing to give to Beautiful Response this year has helped to transform a community and the lives of hundreds of vulnerable kids in Uganda. We are so thankful for the generous support we received from people around the country and world. It is so moving to see how a diverse group of people has rallied around RUHU to see them flourish and grow.
By January 2020, Beautiful Response will have raised and given away over $2 million dollars since we began in 2010. When we hosted our first fundraiser, we hoped to raise $3,000.
