Ogoloi CarePoint is located in the Teso Sub-region of Eastern Uganda, about 45 km northeast of Soroti. The community has faced long-term challenges, including the Teso insurgency in the 1980s and Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) incursions in 2003, which caused widespread loss of life, property, and livelihoods. Despite these hardships, the people of Ogoloi remain resilient and hardworking. Many families continue to struggle with poverty, low income, and limited access to education, leading to child-headed households, school dropouts, early marriages, and child labor.
In partnership with Orphans of Teso, Ogoloi CarePoint provides a safe and welcoming space where children and families can access programs that support education, leadership development, nutrition, health, and spiritual growth. Through these programs, children build on their strengths, families gain practical tools to thrive, and the community grows stronger.
By connecting communities, this partnership transforms lives, builds lasting relationships, and empowers local leaders to sustain the CarePoint’s mission for generations.
The Ogoloi CarePoint is part of the Orphans of Teso family of CarePoints in Eastern Uganda, which also includes Bukedea CarePoint and Ongongoja CarePoint.

Empower a Child at Ogoloi
Empowering a child is one of the most personal ways that you can make an impact on global poverty. It is more than providing for their physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. When you sponsor a child, you build a relationship that shows that child they are valuable, worth loving, and worth investing in.
Your sponsorship is the starting point of a journey that equips vulnerable children, their families, and their communities to create sustainable transformation. When you sponsor a child with HopeChest, you are not just supporting one child — you are helping transform entire communities.

HopeChest’s approach to alleviating poverty is asset-based, because we believe that in every place on earth there are resources, not only for surviving, but for thriving and succeeding. Local leaders tell us what they do have instead of what they don’t have, and we walk with them to see their vision for their community come to fruition through development projects.
A fundraiser for Ogoloi CarePoint is transformational rather than transactional. It promotes empowerment rather than dependence. Your support for these projects will go a long way as, together, we invest in holistic and sustainable solutions that address the root issues of poverty.
