Until 2017 the Sonrise Children’s Home was situated in a rented building which didn’t provide enough room for the increasing number of children for some time. Thanks to some donations we were able to buy a piece of land in Kamuli which is roughly a two-hours drive away from Jinja. There are several reasons why we bought a piece of land that far away. It was not only the prize, but also the Sonrise Ministries founders’ vision to help people not only within but also outside of their own organisation.
The extensive project envisages the construction of several buildings like a number of residential buildings for the children and staff, some school buildings, water wells, sanitary facilities, solar collectors, offices, a cafeteria, a hospital, a library, a guest house, a farm and many more. The project will be realised according to the incoming amount of donations. It will also benefit the surrounding community which currently lacks a school, hospital and only offers a few jobs.
The children were able to move into the first three urgently needed semi-detached houses in February 2018. Before the association was founded, 30,000 Euros in donations had already been collected for the first school, which was also able to start in February 2018. The first school block is a primary school block. We were also able to build a farm with additional donations. At the beginning of 2024, the Nursery School was also ready to go into operation.
In order to give more children access to education, donations are currently most urgently needed for a Secondary School Block, for further sanitary and solar systems, for furnishings, many household goods and school supplies. Then we can offer the children the three most important types of schools in one place.
For this project the amount of donations collected by Peace’s Hope e.V. has reached
150 Euro
Already invested as an association locally: 114,380 Euro
