Did you know that SHP has had an Uganda Giving Tree for 20 years? This long standing tradition was incorporated into the holiday boutique early on and we are proud to support and promote this cause. We believe in the power of education, which is at the heart of this great work.
The Religious of the Sacred Heart’s mission in Uganda includes providing formal education for youth especially girls. The mission is critical in empowering young women to grow in competence and leadership and thereby to contribute to the transformation of their communities as teachers, counselors, nurses, and businesswomen.
The effects of the pandemic continue to have a disproportionately negative impact on young Ugandan women and getting them into school and educated is critical. The three boarding schools are again open to in-person education for more than 2,000 students and the Religious are realizing a greater need for tuition support to serve these young women.
Please consider giving the gift of hope and empowerment by making a holiday donation in support of this life giving educational mission at:
