In November 2018, a team of medical professionals and support staff began a two-week initiative to provide medical care in rural Uganda. Working alongside Prepare the Way Ministries, we were able to provide medical clinics in remote areas, at the Prepare the Way Orphanage and the surrounding villages. We participated in worship services, door-to-door evangelism and ministered in a prison. We traveled to Northern Uganda where Prepare the Way has established a ministry to refugees from Sudan.

It was through this initiative that the urgent needs were discovered that led to the creation of Hope for Widows and Orphans of Uganda. We found many homes with the elderly grandparents of multiple children caring for them with little to no income and physical disabilities preventing full-time work.
