\n\t\n\tThe mission of Hope for Hearts<\/strong>\u00a0is to help children living in conflicted areas lift themselves up from poverty to prosperity through education.<\/p>\n Hope for Hearts currently works with two schools, St. Elizabeth Academy Uganda and Kankobe Children\u2019s Home, guiding more than 450 children annually through their personal resurrection. No longer do these children have to beg on the streets, wondering where their next meal will come from. If they\u2019ll have a warm place to sleep at night free from the elements. The safety, security, and stability that our schools offer, bring new vigor to the student\u2019s lives so that they are free to grow and continue in their personal resurrection until they are able to independently provide for themselves.<\/p>\n Established in 2007, Hope for Hearts began its journey by funding St. Elizabeth Academy in\u00a0Uganda, East Africa<\/a>, an orphanage and school established in 1998 by Father Mugagga Lule and a group of nuns that rescue street children living in sub-human conditions in slum areas of Kampala City, Uganda.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t A self-employed businesswoman and mother of four, Cristen couldn\u2019t fathom the thought of children barely surviving on the streets, let alone never experiencing unconditional love. When she first learned about the plight of these girls from Father Mugagga Lule, she knew she found her heart\u2019s calling, raise money to provide the necessary tools for these children to gain skills to help them live independently.<\/p>\n What started out small with church donut sales and proceeds from Cristen\u2019s children\u2019s lemonade stand, has blossomed into Hope for Hearts, a\u00a0registered 501(c)(3).<\/a><\/p>\n A passionate man supporting the importance of a global community, Father Mugagga Lule has spent his life providing spiritual guidance and caring for people from all walks of life.<\/p>\n Born in Uganda and raised the youngest of nine children, Fr. Mugagga saw first-hand the challenge children faced. A resident of southern Nevada since 2004, Lule serves at St. Peter the Apostle Roman Catholic Church. He has an MA in Biblical Theology and Masters of Divinity from Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus, Ohio.<\/p>\n About Hope for Hearts The mission of Hope for Hearts\u00a0is to help children living in conflicted areas lift themselves up from poverty to prosperity through education.
