Meet our Project Administrators

We are very grateful for both our Hope for Children Center administrator who oversees the welfare and education of the children in his care and for our Uganda administrator who provides oversite for our children’s education and well being.

Partners in Ministry

We are extremely blessed to be able to partner with other ministries who also have a heart for the children of Kenya and Uganda. Their support it just as crucial to keeping our ministries running as the children sponsorships by individuals. Below are a few ministries that we partner with on a regular basis.

Allen Foundation

Established in 1975 by agricultural chemist William Webster Allen and based in Midland, Michigan, Allen Foundation, Inc., makes grants to projects that benefit human nutrition in the areas of education, training, and research. Hearth to Hearth received a generous grant from the Foundation in 2024, which funded the installation of a new well and irrigation system to support our farm.

Bless the Children

Bless the Children is an international organization whose primary goal is the building of a better world through the love, care, and education of orphaned, abandoned, and impoverished children. Bless the Children sponsors 12 of our children.
