Tel: +256788815117

We praise the Almighty Sovereign creator, the Supreme powerful Lord of the earths, heavens, and all that in them. We are grateful to the Almighty God for his countless blessings, particularly the gift of life, which allowed us to serve with diligence and fulfil the fundamental principles of the Retain Hope Foundation Uganda, (REHFU) throughout since inception in 2022. The fact that significant progress has been made since the start cannot be taken for granted. We thank God for taking us through.

Retain Hope Foundation Uganda (REHFU) is a legally recognized Community Based Organization (CBO) with registration number BTSC/216/2022. Guided by the motto, "Charitable work is the hope for the disadvantaged," the foundation is dedicated to providing vital humanitarian support to marginalized groups. REHFU was established in 2022 to bridge the gap for vulnerable individuals, with a specific focus on street children and those suffering from substance abuse, ensuring they have access to the fundamental necessities that their current circumstances deny them.

Our Mission

Driven by empathy, we provide holistic support to those facing systemic barriers. We believe that charitable work is the heartbeat of a just society—offering not just relief, but the enduring hope the disadvantaged need to thrive, grow, and succeed. We are committed to rescuing, rehabilitating, and restoring hope to street children through comprehensive care and support services.

Our Vision

To serve as a beacon of hope for disadvantaged children by providing compassionate care and resources. We are committed to a future where charity transforms lives, creating a society where every child lives with dignity, security, and a sense of belonging. We envision communities where no child sleeps on the streets and every young person has access to opportunities for growth and development.
