Education is a powerful tool that can transform lives and communities, and there have been many positive developments in education worldwide. According to UNESCO, the number of children out of school has declined from 60 million in 2000 to 258 million in 2018, with more children than ever before gaining access to primary and secondary education. In addition, there has been a significant increase in the number of girls receiving education, with the gender gap in primary education almost closed in many countries. The quality of education is also improving, with many countries investing in teacher training and curriculum development to ensure that students receive a well-rounded education that prepares them for the challenges of the modern world. The digital revolution has also opened up new opportunities for education, with online learning platforms and educational resources making education more accessible and flexible. These positive trends indicate that education is becoming increasingly accessible and equitable, and that there is a growing recognition of the importance of education in promoting individual and societal development.

NEW HOPE UGANDA MINISTRIES INC

“A Father to the fatherless… is God in His holy habitation. He sets the lonely in families.” Psalm 68:5-6a Uganda has a monumental orphan crisis. While many see the orphans as the problem, New Hope Uganda recognizes the deeply-rooted cultural sickness, and the orphan situation is a severe symptom. What is this sickness? Simply put, it is a sin-ravaged culture where the Biblical design for family has been essentially destroyed. New Hope understands that societal transformation through the power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only solution to the problem of fatherlessness in Uganda and around the world. Through our various initiatives, New Hope Uganda reaches orphaned, vulnerable, abandoned and special needs children and their communities with the Gospel of Jesus and the Fatherhood of God.
