Our Christmas appeal 2025 to feed hungry families

Hunger and malnutrition are harsh daily realities for many of our pupils and their families, who are living in extreme poverty in the poorest regions of Uganda. Christmas is simply another day with too little food and a rumbly tummy. No special meal, no treats, and often no food at all.

Here at Child of Hope, we want to change that – not just at Christmas, but into the New Year and beyond

With your help, we will not only provide an amazing Christmas for our pupils and their families, but also boost the funds available for our food programme into the New Year. This programme supports our foster children, those pupils with health conditions (like sickle cell, TB and HIV), child-headed families, and the most vulnerable.

Around £5,300 will enable us to provide:

           ~ A fabulous Christmas party for our poorest pupils and their families in Karamoja.
           ~ A Christmas food parcel for every pupil in our schools across both regions, with enough rice and beef to feed their whole family – providing over 4,360 meals to families who often go hungry.

Additionally, any amount raised over £5,300 will have a lasting impact and support our food programme throughout the year. More details of our food programme can be seen here.

The bags of food we give each child at Christmas go a long way…

£10 buys two bags of food - enough for two meals for 12 people
£25 buys five bags of food - enough for two meals for 30 people
£50 buys ten bags of food - enough for two meals for 60 people
£100 feeds multiple families and supports our food programme in the new year

Our JustGiving appeal link is below. If you would prefer to donate by PayPal, cheque, or online banking, please visit www.childofhopeuganda.org/donate. Any additional funds raised beyond the needs for our Christmas party and Christmas food will provide year-round meals for children in need across our schools.

Thank you so much for your support, and please help us smash our target by sharing our appeal!

And as you think about your New Year’s resolutions, why not decide to sponsor a child from the slum and give them an education to last a life time - that’s a resolution worth keeping!

Thank you for thinking of our charity at this special time of year - we would like to wish you a very Happy Christmas and a blessed New Year.
