Hope for Huruma Foundation

The Hope for Huruma Foundation administers a child sponsorship program, which is the primary fundraising mechanism for the organization. The sponsorship program was formalized in 2017 when an online sponsorship software package was purchased and implemented to improve transparency, coordination, increased membership, recordkeeping, and donor communication. The Hope for Huruma Foundation organizes mission trips to Huruma Childrens Home. During the trips, the foundation arranges programming to encourage the children to persevere and to work hard to succeed in their schooling. Programming is also arranged to show appreciation for and to encourage retention for staff and school personnel. Sponsors are encouraged to travel to the home to visit the children they sponsor.The Hope for Huruma Foundation holds fundraising events in the U.S. to raise awareness of Huruma Childrens Home and the needs of the children and staff there. The foundation also engages with churches, clubs, and other service organizations for support in raising awareness and meeting these needs. This outreach helps to address gaps in service, resources, and equipment for the children and the individuals who serve them there. The Hope for Huruma Foundation additionally raises funds through direct donations and grant application processes as needed for special projects, including, but not limited to minor construction projects, repairs to the home and its grounds, special healthcare needs, school equipment, etc.
