About This Project
Andaba Integrated Ministries (Formerly His Hope Uganda) began with nine children and a young woman with a desire to make a difference in the lives of Ugandans in 2007. Out of that simple beginning has grown an organization that now sponsors around 150 children in schools in the Jinja District and provides support through a number of initiatives to the families of the sponsored children.
In our ongoing journey, we’ve discerned a clear calling to expand our reach, touching the lives of more children in need. Our vision radiates with the desire to offer quality education to the most vulnerable communities and to infuse Christian values into the very heart of their education. We’ve heard the poignant questions of these children, yearning to understand the presence of pain. Their questions have led us to the creation of our new name, “Andaba Integrated Ministries,” where “Andaba” in the Ugandan culture means “God sees me.” This name is a testament to our unwavering belief that God’s gaze is upon us, especially in moments of pain.

Our transformation is more than a change in name; it’s a reaffirmation of our faith-fueled journey. With God at the center, we are not only a district-leading child care ministry focused on education, empowerment, and success, but also a sanctuary of spiritual discipleship. Our future plans arise as rays of hope, with a vision of nurturing vocational skills for girls in tailoring and boys in motorcycle repair and service. Imagine a budding nursery school that will flourish into a vibrant primary institution, nurturing young hearts and minds not just in knowledge, but in the wisdom of God. These students shall become beacons of love and change in their communities.
