In the Netherlands, Hope Alive Uganda is supported by the 1 % club. Thanks to the 1 % club and their donating members, Hope Alive Uganda is able to run a goats project to support the children registered with Hope Alive Uganda. In November 2009, Hope Alive Uganda gave 24 children registered with Hope Alive Uganda, a goat. A total of 38 children registered with Hope Alive Uganda have now received a goat in this way.
Children will be supported by Hope Alive Uganda to pay schoolfees, schooluniforms and simply, to live their lives.
