Tradespeople – could you help us change lives?

By supporting our Trades Aid programme, you can help fund vocational training and provide the tools, resources and upkeep needed for Child of Hope Uganda’s schools, buildings and enterprises.

Your support will enable us to hire skilled workers, such as carpenters, painters, builders, welders, plumbers and electricians, to maintain our facilities and deliver essential new projects.

And it’s not just tradespeople! Farmers and agricultural businesses can also get involved by helping us buy seeds and equipment for agriculture projects that provide food for our pupils and struggling families.

Whatever your trade, your skills and support can become part of a unique partnership, producing excellent results, raising self-esteem, and making a real impact in the fight against poverty.

What it would mean:

• Give a monthly donation from your business income or even a one-off gift. Regular giving would enable us to establish an ongoing, sustained budget for the upkeep and maintenance of our buildings.

• You might even enjoy video conversations with local Ugandan tradesmen working on CoH property, offering support and guidance.

• Perhaps make a video showing a particular skill or method that would solve a problem for our team?

Experienced tradesmen in Uganda cost around £5 a day, so you can see how far your UK donation will stretch.

Vocational Scholarship Fund

 Alternatively, you can help by contributing to our Vocational Scholarship Fund, either on a monthly basis or as a one-time donation.  Vocational training equips our pupils with practical skills they can use to gain employment or start their own businesses. Course fees vary widely depending on the subject, but your support through our Vocational Scholarship Fund helps cover these costs.

Unlike our individual child sponsorships, donations to the Vocational Scholarship Fund are not linked to a specific student. This is because your gift supports a flexible pool of funds, helping cover a range of vocational training costs for students as their needs arise.

Choose any amount to gift, from £10 per month, which contributes towards their training costs. Approximately £90 per month is needed to fully support one student for a year (depending on the course).
