Building a Sustainable Tomorrow
Young Population
Uganda has one of the worlds youngest median populations at only 16.9 years old.
Steady Food
Hope Lives provides two meals a day to students, which is often the only meals they receive. This is different from government schools where students are responsible for their own meals.
women's Development
In Uganda, lack of education for girls and early marriage are often the roots of lifelong gender disparity. Uganda has one of the highest rates of early marriage in the world, with 40 percent of girls marrying before the age of 18 and 10 percent marrying before age 15.
Steady Staff
Hope Lives has been able to provide consistent, monthly pay for teachers, which is rare in Uganda, and therefor we have been able to attract highly capable and committed educators.

Why you should support Hope Lives Aloi
Spending a day at the Hope Lives Elementary School is the best way to be completely convinced of why you should support Hope Lives Aloi. But, until we can help you schedule your trip to Uganda, consider the circumstances of the students at Hope Lives. The tragic history of war, famine and disease in Uganda has caused the loss of a generation of adults. The median age in Uganda is 16.9 years, compared to 39.1 years in the United States. All of Uganda faces these challenges, but Northern Uganda has been hardest hit by these forces, making it impossible to sustain any real progress toward rebuilding a working society. Most in the Aloi area survive through subsistence farming, or eke out a small income selling farm products or labor. These conditions are not likely to change in any significant way until a skilled and educated generation can replace those who have been lost in past decades.
The school educates children from a variety of backgrounds, but it was built for and will always be a school dedicated to helping orphans and vulnerable children. The challenge facing Hope Lives is to continue to build its base of financial support so the school can continue to focus on educating those poor children. Some of the planned student support and infrastructure projects include:
-
Boys Dormitories
-
A vocational/technical training facility;
-
Perimeter wall and solar powered elevated security lights
