Because of Hope Blog — About Us RSS

BOH recently celebrated our 12th Anniversary! It has been an amazing journey and we are so excited for all that is still in store. Join us in reflecting on funny memories and sweet moments from the last 12 years.

It is tough to put into words the richness of a life, one marked by deep love, abundant humility, and unwavering kindness--one full of sacrificial friendship, enduring compassion, and faithful dedication. Such was the life of Ndhaye Ahmed.

With the changing of the seasons, comes a fresh anticipation of new things. And this is true for Because of Hope both in the U.S. and Uganda. In Santa Barbara, our office is buzzing with excitement about the holiday season and upcoming events. In Uganda, our women are preparing for a new crop season, which will be significant for food security. And our students eagerly await for schools to reopen...

As Jane transitions out of BOH, let's learn a little about a staff member who has made a big impact on our organization and on so many of our students! Jane was our BSSP Coach for the almost six years and worked diligently with our students to ensure they succeeded in their studies. She also helped mentor our students in spiritual and personal matters. She is passionate, fun, and ambitious, and we know she will excel in this next position!

To get to know our Uganda staff is to better understand our mission and our work. We have 6 staff members in Uganda and each of them brings something different to the table. This month we will meet Cathie, our Uganda Advisor! Cathie is our BSSP Advisor, Co-founder of WOCAP (our partner organization), and is responsible for many decisions in Uganda.
