Hope For Huruma Foundation

THE HOPE FOR HURUMA FOUNDATION ADMINISTERS A CHILD SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM, WHICH IS THE PRIMARY FUNDRAISING MECHANISM FOR THE ORGANIZATION.

DURING THE TRIPS, THE FOUNDATION ARRANGES PROGRAMMING TO ENCOURAGE THE CHILDREN TO PERSEVERE AND TO WORK HARD TO SUCCEED IN THEIR SCHOOLING.
