Wish List 2013
Step 1: Knowledge. Sponsor a student.
For
$360 a year, you can provide a youth with
an education through our Hands of Hope Scholarship
Program. As a sponsor, your student will receive full
tuition, school uniforms, and schools supplies; and you will
receive regular updates from your student. Our
goal for 2013 is to continue to sponsor our 185 students.
Since so many of our students are graduating from St. Denis and moving on to Vocational Training, Upper Secondary, or University programs, we have added the Hands of Hope Higher Education Scholarship Program and the Hands of Hope University Scholarship Program. The cost to sponsor one student through Higher Education is $720 per year. A University Scholarship is $1400 per year. Only 2% of the population enrolls in university studies.

Step 2: Entrepreneurship: Send a Piglet and Send a Goat Home Program
$300
will give an orphaned or disadvantaged youth a chance to start
their own piggery or goat rearing business. After
completing a training program and building a shelter at their home, the
students receive a female piglet or kid goat to rear. Once
the female is mature and delivers a litter, the new offspring are sold at
the market for additional income which pays for household items
such as mattresses, soap, clothing, food, and school fees.
Our goal for 2013 is to provide pigs or goats along with
training for 60 new students through the Send a Piglet and Goat Home Program. Find out more about the
Send a Piglet Home and Send a Goat Home Program,

Step 3: Community
The
St. Denis and Namabaale Parents Development Association,
implemented by Into Your Hands-Africa staff member, Mukasa
James, holds three parent education workshops per year.
Parents learn about improved farming techniques, agricultural
business skills, food security, and healthy living education.
These programs help to build up a healthy and empowered
community who can support the well being of their children.

Step 4: Values
In 2013 Into Your Hands Africa is rolling out the first of four years of curriculum at St. Denis Secondary School. This first year of courses will focus on healthy living which will include: puberty, sexual education, pregnancy, hygiene, personal health, and gender roles. These basic life skills are not currently taught in school and are vital to the longevity of these youth. This program was developed by Into Your Hands Africa, local community leaders and educators. Other courses that are going to be developed are livelyhood training, entrepreneurship education, career counseling, goal setting and personal development.
