Give the gift of education
and the tools for life.

66% of households in Uganda and India live with
inadequate food consumption.

Who We Are

Our Mission:

To develop agricultural knowledge and enthusiasm among youth and smallholder farmers to develop communities to be both nutritionally food secure and economically empowered.

What We Do

Field of Hope is a Christian non-profit dedicated to agricultural education and extension. Agriculture is the backbone of Uganda and developing countries across the globe, yet most involved in agriculture have received a low quality education about the processes and materials required to produce enough food for themselves and their families. That’s where Field of Hope steps in.

Get Involved

Field of Hope believes in life transformation for both the people we work with and for the people who would like to partner
with us. If you would like to share your time, your talent, or your treasure, please contact us and let us know in which area
you would like to be involved.

Time

Dedicate a few hours a month, or maybe even a few days out of the year to help us get our word out and generate support for our farmers and students!

Travel

We are always looking for skilled and qualified volunteers to help us bring advanced agricultural and educational knowledge to the friends and families we serve in Uganda and India.

TREASURE

There are a variety of ways you can partner with us. We are honored to accept monetary donations as well as non-monetary donations such as grain and other harvests.

Current Programs

Field of Hope works to achieve our mission through three channels, or pillars: Youth Agricultural Education, Smallholder Farmer Advancement, and Leadership Development. Through these pillars, we feel that reach audiences of every generation and every walk of life. From there, we are dedicated to standing with individuals and groups to advance agriculture and impact their lives.

“Initially…there was a lot of problems. There was a time when people would even go without food, but as a result of members being in the (Field of Hope) group, that no longer happens because if you have a challenge you can go to the group and you borrow money that can help you sort out your problems or meet that need that you have.”

– Sheila Ogwang

“I was able to accomplish some of the things I thought I would not. Mostly, to pay for the school fees and medical care. The partnership (with Field of Hope) helps us as a group to motivate us to continue working together and being partnered with Field of Hope has helped us to achieve a lot, some things that we couldn’t have achieved on our own. We have been able to get knowledge on things that other community members don’t have.”

– Santa Obok

“I feel loved and appreciated. Because in various ways Field of Hope has given others hope and encouragement on how to go about our businesses or farming or savings as well. The (Field of Hope) group has helped me because sometimes through savings you get a loan. That loan you use it for something else, like maybe paying for school fees, or like continue also helping you in your garden or another business. Through savings, their lives have been changed. Their families’ lives have been changed. They have managed to pay school fees with their money. Others have also started small businesses that can help sustain their family. I still believe that when you continue serving us, I believe many lives will be touched.”

– Deborah Awor

“I am so joyous about working with Field of Hope. Field of Hope has enabled me to develop. It has given me knowledge on farming. I now have knowledge and better methods of farming. And even hoe to generate income. It has impacted the community in the sense that in the area of farming, and also it has enabled people to come together and work together as a group. People are more relating with one another, compared to before. And they are able to cooperate with one another better than before.”

– Nancy Ogur

I’m happy to work with Field of Hope, to be a member of the group. I can socialize with the people, the community where I’m working, and I feel I’ve saved some money. And the trainings that I’ve got from Field of Hope, it helps me to improve in my farming methods. ”

“It has also helped me pay school fees. I have a large family, I have about six children that I support, so when I get money from the savings that I get from the group supported by Field of Hope, it helps me a lot. ”

“Whenever I hear that Field of Hope is coming for a training, I want to be part of that training because I know there are new ideas that I’ll get that might not be known.”

– Semmy Ahol

“Field of hope has given us knowledge on how to do our activities and also it has given us strength by bringing us together. There’s certain things you can’t do on your own, but as a group you can manage it. So, Field of Hope has enabled us to do that.”
