FAQ
You’ve got questions. We’ve Got Answers.
How do you decide Which kids to help?
We have a vetting process for children in the community based on our cofounder’s experience of growing up as orphans in extreme poverty. The main factors we consider are:
Financial need
Family circumstances
Existing disabilities
How much of my monthly donation goes to the kids?
100% of every donation goes directly to Uganda to fund our programs on the ground in Kyenjojo District.
how do the monthly donations work?
After your initial donation, we will charge your card or bank account for the selected amount automatically on the 25th of each following month.
Can we cancel our sponsorship at any time?
Absolutely. You can update your account settings at anytime following the link to your account in the email we send you after each donation.
What happens if a child leaves the program?
This rarely happens, but in the event that it does, you‘ll get an immediate notification from us alerting you to the situation. We hope that you will remain a part of our family by sponsoring a different child, but in the event that you want to cancel your sponsorship, you’ll have the option to do so.
Are donations tax deductible?
God's Hope for Uganda Families is recognized as a tax-exempt organization under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (Tax ID: 93-1894411). Donations to organizations with 501(c)(3) status are typically tax deductible. Please consult your tax professional to determine deductibility.
Can I meet my Student or their family?
They would LOVE to meet you! We encourage our sponsors to come to Uganda and are happy to help coordinate the trip with you. We are planning our next visit to Uganda in 2025. Please email travis@ugandafamilies.org if you’re interested in visiting Kyenjojo.
