Youth Agricultural Education
Growing Knowledge, Growing Futures
Inspiring Uganda’s Future Through Modern Agriculture
The mission of Field of Hope is to inspire excitement about the agricultural industry in Ugandan students, as well as to develop a wider and deeper knowledge of modern technologies within the industry. We hope to equip the next generation of agriculturists in developing countries with the skills and abilities to successfully operate their agricultural enterprises as businesses whereby they can provide for their future families.
Teacher Development and Guides
Strengthening Agricultural Education
Through Resources and Training
Through the development of innovative teacher guides and ongoing professional training, Field of Hope is equipping educators and inspiring students across Uganda to build successful futures in agriculture.
Developing Interactive, Standards-Aligned Agricultural Curriculum
Teacher Guide Development
Alongside our training development partner, Vivayic Inc., Field of Hope has been working to create all-inclusive and interactive teacher’s guides for secondary agricultural education that address all phases and forms of agriculture.
Recognizing that many education practices in Uganda rely heavily on rote memorization, these guides meet national standards while incorporating hands-on, project-based learning. Their purpose is to inspire and excite students about agriculture as both an industry and a career, while demonstrating the best practices of successful agricultural businesses.
Equipping and Empowering Educators
Teacher Training
In addition to investing in students, Field of Hope is committed to the professional and personal development of the teachers who lead them. Teachers receive the guides at no cost and are invited to participate in two trainings each year.
These trainings introduce innovative teaching strategies, provide opportunities to practice hands-on methods, and foster meaningful professional connections. What began with just three teachers in northern Uganda has grown to include more than 350 teachers across the country in just five years.
We look forward to the continued growth and expanded reach of our Teacher Guides and training programs.

Funding Student-led Projects
Inspiring Students in Agriculture Grant
In 2017, Field of Hope established the Inspiring Students in Agriculture Grant to support teachers focused on preparing youth for agricultural related futures. This program was designed to inspire students by giving them hands-on learning experiences through various agricultural-related projects, demonstrations, and field trips. These grants supplement our teacher’s guides by growing students’ familiarity with the entire industry, inside and outside of the classroom.
As of January of 2026, your faithful support has allowed us to fund over 34 grant projects across the country!

Thank You to Our Donors
Field of Hope is deeply grateful to the donors who make the Inspiring Students in Agriculture (ISA) Grant program possible. Your generosity helps equip teachers with resources to create hands-on agricultural learning experiences that inspire students and strengthen agricultural education in their communities.
We are especially thankful for the partnership of the Amigo Foundation of Washington State, which has generously funded six ISA grants over the past three years—two grants each year. Their continued support has helped expand opportunities for students to learn, grow, and discover the possibilities within agriculture.
Because of donors like you, the ISA Grant program continues to empower teachers and inspire the next generation of agricultural leaders.
