A Second Chance: Geoffrey’s Journey from Struggle to Purpose

Behind every organization is a story—and at New Hope Children’s Foundation Uganda, that story begins with resilience, faith, and a deep desire to give back.

Growing up in Kanyateete Village, Geoffrey faced a difficult childhood marked by domestic violence and the loss of his father at just 13 years old. This tragic moment disrupted his education and left him uncertain about his future

But hope came when a charitable organization stepped into his life, supporting him with school fees and basic needs. For Geoffrey, this was more than help—it was a turning point.

Years later, while working at a safari lodge, Geoffrey made a powerful decision. Despite earning a small salary, he began supporting children in his community. He saw himself in them—children struggling with poverty, lack of education, and limited opportunities.

With the support of his first donor, a friend from Switzerland, New Hope Children’s Foundation Uganda was born.

Today, Geoffrey’s journey reminds us that one act of kindness can create a ripple effect.
