Hope North was founded by Okello Kelo Sam as a boarding school for children (many of whom were former child soldiers) during the peak of the civil war with the LRA (Lord’s Resistance Army) in northern Uganda. As the conflict has ended Hope North is focusing on vocational and agricultural skills training in order to equip the next generation of leaders. During the pandemic, Hope North gave away their library books to members of the community to read and in 2023 we are focusing on revitalizing the library (repairs and restocking books) so that the school and surrounding community can have access to books once again.  Learn more
