The charity has grown greatly in recent years as we have responded to the needs in the community we see for ourselves and hear about from the team in Uganda. Our work develops year on year and regularly takes us into new areas. We will only get involved in a project if we believe we can deliver it successfully and sustainably, and we rely enormously on the skill and dedication of the CRMI team on the ground in Uganda.
You’ll find here news of the latest developments in the life of the charity. Things are always happening, whether its news from our Ugandan team on projects we’re working on together, new fundraising initiatives, or updates on sponsored children.

After visiting Uganda in March 2022, we realised there was a real need for beds for the children. Imagine 3 children sleeping on the dirt floor on a scrap of foam no bigger than a…

Thank you!
Simon Kaye - one of our trustees - and his wife, Pauline, will be travelling to Tanzania in September to attempt to climb Kilimanjaro via its Northern Circuit to raise funds for Children of Hope.
Simon has been a GP for 34 years and lead our medical work for 12 years . He says that he was able to benefit from the privilege of a free university education and so he now wants to give something back to say thank you.
In Uganda there is a desperate need for more health professionals - they have only 17 doctors per 100,000 people - WHO recommends a minimum 100 per 100,000 and in the UK we have 280 per 100,000. (and you still can’t get an appointment to see your GP!!!)
Simon and Pauline hope to establish a small trust fund as part of Children of Hope to be able to fund the further training of some of our sponsored children who want to become healthcare professionals.
They aim to raise £10,000 - and that’s enough to fully train 2 doctors or 3 nurses in Uganda ( it costs just £1000 per year for medical education in Uganda.)
As they toil their way up (hopefully all the way!) to the 19,341 ft 5895m summit, please help and inspire them by supporting them via - https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/simon-kaye11
Sponsorship costs £32 per month and this will provide your child with a quality education at a selected school, nutritious food and health care.
By the end of 2020, we had managed to find sponsors for over 400 children. All these children have been enrolled in schools that will give the best possible education. Half of these are being educated at our school at Bombo.
