Public Schooling Request

Access to education is a beacon of hope for vulnerable children in Kamuli District. 


In 2023, we were humbled to receive further funding for our first step in educating the kids, homeschooling.


Now we are looking to call in an educational upgrade, sending our family to public schooling!


By supporting this program, you will:

  • Provide access to public schooling for 18 children, giving them the tools they need to break free from poverty.
  • Supply essentials like books, pens, uniforms, and shoes, ensuring children feel confident and comfortable at school.
  • Help children develop strong moral and spiritual values, setting them on a path to become empowered, compassionate leaders in their community.

Book Program Launch

Public Schooling Request

Book Program Launch

Several donors, inspired by the vision of our forever home, chose to direct their recent contribution toward establishing a library for the school we’ll build on our newly acquired land. 


We’re now collaborating with educators in North America and Uganda to curate a library filled with books for children of all ages. 


A donor exclaims with joy:


Books open doors to our imagination, allow us to transport ourselves to new

places, to expand our consciousness and consider endless possibilities. I can

think of no better gift!

Our food program has been going strong since 2018!


One of our goals is for Vine of Hope to become self-sustaining. Purchasing the 4-acre plot recently is a major milestone in their direction of farming.


Until we reach that goal, we are committed to providing basic nourishment needs for the 18 kids and their 3 caregivers.


Are you or your team ready to be recurring donors of $480 per month?

For 4 years many of our donors have helped us send holiday cheer to Vine of Hope. During the Christmas season we raise a fund, approx.$900, for a special meal and neighborhood party!


We each sign up to create a hand-written card for one of the 18 children or 5 adult caregivers


We begin sign-ups for holiday cards in August, because the postal service requires several months for shipping to arrive for the Holiday season..


Sign-up to send a card by contacting Aprilhelen@ProgressProject.info.

    Our Story

    Vine of Hope is a home for children who have been abandoned, abused, or left behind due to the loss of their parents.


    Founded in 2018 by Isabirye Taliki (Isa) in Kamuli District, Uganda, the ministry was born out of a deep need to care for the growing number of orphaned and vulnerable children. 


    Seeing their suffering, as he experienced a similar plight, Isa extended a helping hand, offering them love, hope, and a future—taking them off the streets and providing basic needs, such as shelter, food, protection, and education. 


    Today, Vine of Hope is home to 18 children, the maximum we can currently accommodate. Our biggest challenge remains space, but we are working toward expansion to welcome more children in need.


    We are proud to share that the children are now moving into their sixth trimester of homeschooling, and, in a major step toward self-sustainability, we have secured a 4-acre property—a foundation for their future.


    Isa knows firsthand the struggles these children face. In Uganda, many orphans and impoverished children are forced to fend for themselves, searching daily for food and a safe place to rest. 


    Vine of Hope exists to change this reality, offering these children a pathway to a brighter tomorrow.
