Current Projects
Hope Ofiriha is involved with education, micro credit and healthcare locally in Lofiriha community. It is also actively involved in an environment tree planting project in Onura which covers an area of 5,000 sq. km.
Partner Needs
We are looking for Environmental volunteers, nursery volunteer teachers, volunteer primary school Teachers, volunteer helpers in Aids project, volunteer nurses, and volunteer doctors. Volunteers both in southern Sudan and Uganda will be overseen by our project manager.
We also urgently need two female volunteers to assist with administrative work, and coordinating child sponsorships in Uganda by visiting schools and pupils. The volunteers will pay for water, electricity, and their own living expenses but accommodation is free. They will share one bed room and are responsible for their laundry including cooking in case they want to eat at home. In the USA we also accept volunteers who are willing to help with fundraising activities, website maintenance, or writing funding proposal with our major donors. These volunteers need to work from their homes but will be connected to our main contact person in Oslo who will be providing them with information in a weekly basis. If needed visits arrangement at project sites at Magwi County Sudan can be arranged for them once a year.
Financial Needs
Our organization's primary need is donations towards pupil's sponsorship in Uganda. It costs $452 per year to sponsor a poor boy or girl to attend primary education which covers their tuition, room and board, uniforms, medicines and books. For those people who are unable to commit to $452 per year, we are able to match their donations as partial sponsors. Or, we accept their donations towards our general fund which is use to help local schools purchase textbooks, and building materials, and sponsor extra pupils.
