Our Story
The Wind of Hope Initiative was founded by Fr. Bomukama Denes. While doing community needs assessment and social work in Busiriba Sub-county in 2016, Fr. Denes witnessed how many children were living below the poverty line and were facing life-threatening challenges, such as hunger and the lack of basic needs.
He started conducting some charity work within the area and was later joined by a few passionate friends who extended support due to the increase of day-to-day community needs that required an extra hand.

In 2020, this group adopted the name Wind of Hope Initiative and was registered with the district local government as a Community Based Organization (CBO) with a major focus on education, health, psycho-social support, and agribusiness. The main beneficiaries of WOH are orphans, vulnerable children and their caregivers.

Sponsor Education
WOH helps to maintain schools in Busiriba sub-county, Kanini Village, Kyamuhunga Village, and the Sheema District in Uganda. Because every child deserves to be empowered by education, WOH also provides tuition to orphans and children from low-income families.

WOH’s efforts are directed towards the long-term result of building a stronger future for the struggling communities of Uganda. In addition to providing for the needs of individuals, we also teach agribusiness in order to lay the foundation of a stronger local economy.
