Project Have Hope empowers women in the Acholi Quarter of
Uganda by providing them with educational opportunities and supporting sustainable businesses to drive economic growth. Since 2006, we have worked together with these extraordinary artisans to curate a line of fashion-forward,
ethically handmade jewelry and home goods that will elevate your style and provide a sustainable income to the makers.
Our work goes beyond crafting vibrant, inspired designs. We inspire hope within the Ugandan community by providing scholastic sponsorship to the artisans’ children, vocational training to support employment opportunities, small business loans and grants to women, a breakfast program, and an overall community outreach
program to step in and help as needed.
Some of our accomplishments include:
Together, we believe we can all rise up.
Thanks from taking us from nowhere to somewhere.

I have been sick from asthma for so long and was down most of the time and sometimes think I was going to die because I was not able to buy the necessary medicine, but now with the piggery project that I got
through a Project Have Hope loan, I can afford to pay my medical bills and also take
care of a few of my brothers orphans.

I had given up all hopes in life, but I feel so happy these days because through the training that I got, I am now able to make my own money and pay rent and feed my household - all because of my good skill.
