HIGH HOPES FOR CHILDREN

Registered charity 1159495 · accounts filings on the Charity Commission register · also known as HHFC

We have just returned from South West Uganda where we held clinics for disabled children and assessed their abilities and needs. This enabled us to suggest placements for a special unit at Kitazigurukwa primary school or an outreach teacher we will be supporting February 2015. We are starting a small agricultural project in conjunction with a disabled young man, growing coffee and ground nuts.
