About the Partnership
The Will Friend & Tom Boorsma Community have partnered with Children’s HopeChest at Nabukalu CarePoint in Uganda since 2022.
Nabukalu CarePoint is located in Namayingo District, Eastern Uganda, about 200 km east of Kampala, the capital. The village is in a predominantly Muslim area and serves children from across the community. While the community is resilient and hardworking, many families face challenges such as limited access to education, widespread poverty, and the impact of diseases like HIV/AIDS.
In partnership with the Friend & Boorsma Connect Community, Nabukalu 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.
