From the new year 2020, Peace’s Hope offers you to sponsor the children of the Sonrise Ministries. Many of our donors build a bond with the children over time, especially if they have already visited Uganda as part of our team. A lot of them wished to personally support these children, to finance their schooling or clothing directly. For this reason, we have decided to make this possible. Read more at this link!

Thank you – Christmas Project 2019
We would like to thank all supporters of this year’s Christmas project! With your help we were able to give Christmas presents to all Sonrise children, as well as to the children of the caregivers. In addition, some money could be used to buy some items of urgent need for each house. The money from the big pot will be used for Christmas presents for the caregivers and Sonrise staff, as well as for the families in Masese. In the name of the Peace’s Hope Team, the Sonrise Ministries Team and all the children a big THANK YOU!
