In this project a number of hens have been given out to our children in different families, each family receives a single hen just due to limited funds. These children have kept their hens and currently they have got more than three (3) hens out of a single hen .

We respect and love animals at vision of hope children’s Centre Uganda, by these children are given a chance to have time to care, cater, and think about these animals. This is health and increases opportunities to exercise, socialization and child self-esteem. This help us encourage childhood responsibilities to display improved impulse control, this has improved an additional control and bonding of the children through the full time spent with the pets as a family. This is one way of helping children with physical problems to quickly recover from stress, loneliness, anxiety and idle mind. It provides time to the children to think more on what to do next.
We have been able to give good supplies to all families with our children during the time when the world is at tension for the pandemic around the world, due to the local down in uganda children have not been able to be at school due to the government close-up of all educational institutions. Many families have faced lack in daily life since most of the economic activities lack markets and other have been stopped and all the means of transport. We have been able to supply food to our children to save lives, this has been a blessing that in such a hard moment we have stood to restore hope in the very urgent time when its needed.
Being a mother to the motherless and a father to the fatherless.
Madrine joined our children’s centre on 29th August 2021 as a 7 year little girl whose life was in a very bad situation. By this time at a visual site everyone thought she was 2 years because of her malnourished body growth. At 4 years Madrine was abandoned on a road side by her mother who could no longer afford taking care of her because she was not receiving any support from Madrine’s father who had married a second wife and was not taking his responsibility anymore. This innocent angel was picked by a good Samaritan who read the note her mother had left with her laid on the road side, this helped her recognize madrine’s age, and name. This lady brought Madrine to our director Tamale, who posted about her on all our social and took good care for her by taking her for medication and added nutritional food to her as advised by the pediatrician called Dr. Anitah from masaka children’s clinic. Currently madrine’s life is a communal testimony that everyone talks about, madrine can now walk, smile, and she is health. It took us 4 months to see her with a hopefilled smile. We thank all that contributed towards madrines life. Currently she needs a monthly sponsor

SISTER CORINNE“ “Vision of Hope Children’s Center Uganda was founded by an extraordinary young man, Tamale Ashiraf who is an inspiration to not only the children he works with, but to me as well. This organization aids children in receiving their basic needs, and I feel so blessed to be able to contribute to that. Tamale and his staff have thought of every necessary project for over 100 children. Not only does the organization provide food and fun activities, but their projects are sustainable for the livelihood of their participants. This is one of my favorite parts about Vision of Hope C.C Ug. The children are learning to be contributing members of society by learning crafts and farming that will help them earn money and skills that will last a life time. Tamale has also provided many people overseas with the opportunity to contribute to something greater than themselves and start their own projects within the organization. He has encouraged me to start the Light Laughter Dental Clinic that not only aids the participants with their oral health care, but also contributes to a lifelong career goal of mine, which is to provide dental care worldwide. It has been an exemplary experience working with this organization and I can’t wait to see how far it goes! ”

Masaka is a city in the Buganda Region of Uganda, west of Lake Victoria.[2] The city is the headquarters of Masaka District.[3]
Location
Masaka is approximately 132 kilometres (82 mi) to the south-west of Kampala on the highway to Mbarara.[4] The city is close to the Equator. The coordinates of Masaka are 0°20’28.0″S, 31°44’10.0″E (Latitude:-0.341111; Longitude:31.736111).[5] Masaka lies at an average elevation of 1,288 metres (4,226 ft) above sea level.[6]
History
Masaka was founded as a township in 1953. It became a town council in 1958 and a municipality in 1968.[7]
Masaka was a strategically important location during the Uganda–Tanzania War (1978–79), and was accordingly garrisoned by Uganda Army troops. These soldiers terrorized the local civilians, and most fled the town. On 23–24 February 1979, the Tanzania People’s Defence Force and allied Ugandan rebels attacked the settlement, resulting in the Battle of Masaka. The town was bombarded with artillery, and fell to the Tanzanian-led forces after light resistance. The Tanzanians subsequently levelled much of the town to take revenge for atrocities committed by the Uganda Army during its previous invasion of northwestern Tanzania.[8]
In course of the Ugandan Bush War, Masaka again suffered from fighting. The town was garrisoned by the Uganda National Liberation Army which served as Uganda’s national army at the time. In late 1985, National Resistance Army rebels laid siege to the town. After heavy combat, Masaka’s garrison surrendered on 10 December 1985.[9]
In 2019 the Cabinet of Uganda, resolved to award Masaka, city status effective July 2023.[2][10] In November of the same year, Cabinet revised the date of city status to 1 July 2020.[11]
Population
According to the 2002 national census, the population of Masaka was about 67,800. In 2010, the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS) estimated the population at 73,300. In 2011, UBOS estimated the mid-year population at 74,100.[12] In August 2014, the national population census put the population at 103,829.[1]
