HOPE.
CONNECTION.
OPPORTUNITY.
In a world of over 8 billion people, what does it feel like to be singled out? To be seen, to be valued, to be connected, given hope and opportunity to thrive?
It means the world!
Help Our World One on One (HOW101) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that provides personal, educational sponsorships as well as a network of support to children living in extreme poverty within targeted communities in Uganda and Kenya. In addition to accessing education, kids receive caring mentorship, guidance and healthcare. Our mission is to responsibly and relationally connect people, prompting opportunities for positive change in home communities.

MINI CAMPS 2026 - A SUCCESS!
This year of enrichment looked a bit different for the 210 kids in Uganda. Age-based retreats were held at a nearby school (that was on break) as we didn’t have a big team able to go from the states. That said, the staff and volunteers are more than able to provide a meaningful and stretching experience for the kids who work hard in school throughout the year. EDUCATE, ENCOURAGE AND EMPOWER were their focus. We hope for a U.S. Team to join the Uganda Team for a positively unique experience in every life next year…
We are truly “better together”!
Our next camp will be in 2027 as we focus on building up the Omu’Omu community!

SUPPORT FOR STAFF & COMMUNITY
While our child sponsors provide for the educational piece of the children, additional support is needed to surround them with holistic care and guidance.
Omu’Omu Uganda staff and mentors play a big role in the lives of 210 kids and counting! We are in need of monthly supporters (or one-time gifts) to keep this project thriving!

INCOME GENERATING VENTURES!
Omu’Omu owns land and is growing trees to sell as construction scaffolding. A Piggery will soon be coming as part of our growth toward self-sustaining initiatives!
This business will not only fill a broad need, but will also employ members of the Omu’Omu community and give older students a place to give back and learn new skills during their holidays and time off!
STAY TUNED - COMING SOON…

VOCATIONAL TRAINING WORKSHOP
April brought a team of 5 men from Colorado Community Church to lock arms and accomplish much! Together with the boys, staff and Kenyan team, the original shipping container dwelling was renovated and transformed into a Vocational Training Center! A master carpenter comes on weekends to teach. Down the road the hope is to open up a school to the public as an income producing business.
If you’d like to help with projects at the training workshop, they are currently learning carpentry and building furniture for the study rooms. In the future, they hope to enlarge the coop for the chickens and sell eggs to the community.

BUILDING UP FOR THE FUTURE!
We’re building UP! Taraja is equipped to have 40-60 boys living in the home/hostel. We now have the need for studio guest rooms (6) on the top floor to house volunteers, staff, teachers or teams!
The guest rooms for visitors will also provide an income while occupied!

TARAJA CORNERSTONE COMMUNITY
Our personal sponsor donations go to directly benefit the boy. We, at HOW101, raise separate funds for staff, operations, administration, etc. We call this our CORNERSTONE COMMUNITY and we are in need of monthly support for the incredible staff who impact these boys through mentoring, daily care, school and home visits, etc.
Please consider being a part of this team!
