Our Story

Our founder, Father Bomokama Denes, grew up in Uganda. As a young priest, he witnessed the many challenges that his community faced, and he felt the call to act. Christ instructed His church to “Feed the lambs,” so Fr. Denes got to work.

It started small with only Fr. Denes, who would work singlehandedly to organize food and clothing drives for the local community. As the work increased, so did the helping hands. Others answered the call to get involved and expand the ministry, reaching more villages and families than Fr. Denes could on his own. This group’s impact would continue to grow substantially.

In 2017, it was officially registered with the District Local Government of Kamwege district and Busiriba sub-county as a charity organization: The Wind of Hope Initiative.

Since 2017, the Wind of Hope Initiative has worked to improve the living conditions of the local population. It’s major focus is on Education, health, psycho-social support, Agribusiness training, and the care of orphans as well as other vulnerable children and their families.
