Hope House
A Sanctuary of Healing
Hope House is more than a home — it is a place where young girls rescued from deeply challenging circumstances discover their identity, purpose, and destiny in Jesus.
"Raising and empowering women of God through life-changing transformation in Jesus."
— Hope House Mission
About the Program
A Sanctuary of Healing and New Beginnings
Hope House creates a sanctuary of healing and new beginnings for young girls rescued from deeply challenging circumstances. The ministry provides quality education, life-changing skill development, and spiritual growth to help girls rewrite their stories and discover their identity and purpose.
Many of the girls at Hope House have experienced abandonment, abuse, extreme poverty, or the loss of both parents. For these girls, Hope House is not just a program — it is family. It is home.
Located in Luzira, Uganda, Hope House operates under the covering of The City Church and is led by a dedicated team of local women who pour themselves into each girl's healing journey.

The Vision
Courageous, Confident Leaders
The vision of Hope House is to empower girls in their relational, economic, and geographic contexts to actively and creatively engage their communities for transformation in Jesus' name.
Safe Transitional Housing
A haven of hope and healing — a stable, loving home where girls are protected, cared for, and restored as they rebuild their lives.
Quality Education
Every Hope House girl is enrolled in school and supported through every level — from primary through secondary and beyond — with all fees and materials covered.
Skill Development
Life-changing vocational training and practical skills equip girls for economic independence and self-sufficiency as they transition into adulthood.
Spiritual Growth
Daily devotions, discipleship, and Christian mentorship nurture each girl's faith and help her discover her identity and purpose in Christ.
Leadership Formation
Girls are developed into courageous, confident leaders who are equipped to transform their communities through Jesus-centered values.
Community Transformation
Hope House graduates carry what they've received back into their communities — breaking cycles of poverty and vulnerability for the next generation.
Who They Are

- Children from extreme poverty with no access to education
- Girls displaced from conflict-affected areas in northern Uganda
