your contributions really do make an impact
We Make Sure of it.
You built the primary school at St. Jude Children’s Home, supported the creation of Consolation Home for children with special needs, championed the transition to a full-inclusion orphanage serving children in small group homes, and cared for countless orphans each year. You sent teenage boys and girls to secondary and vocational schools year after year. You bought an ambulance and provided life-saving treatment to thousands at Lacor Hospital.
Social Promise was approved by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2011 and began operations in 2012. Since then, you have donated millions of dollars to Social Promise. The vast majority, 91%, of your donations to Social Promise were directed to funding our programs. Only 3% of contributions were used for fundraising costs and 6% was used for operating costs.
Your Impact at St. Jude Children’s Home
We only partner with longstanding, reputable, effective Ugandan non-profits so your donation makes the maximum impact. Our partners include St. Jude Children’s Home and Lacor Hospital. St. Jude Children’s Home began as a safe haven from the war and as an home for children orphaned by poverty, AIDS and the LRA. Lacor Hospital is an internationally recognized model of humanitarianism and compassionate medical care.
Backpacks
Children from St. Jude's receiving the backpacks you donated.
Wheelchairs
Your donations have purchased wheelchairs for children living at St. Jude Children’s Home. Without your help children are relegated to using makeshift chairs that do not support their unique postural and physical needs.
The professional staff of St. Jude’s helps children to be active within the community by studying, playing, and interacting with friends and caregivers.
Educating Ugandan Children
You send about 40 teenage boys and girls to secondary and vocational school every year. Usually about ¾ attend secondary and ¼ attend vocational schools.
Able to reopen
St. Jude Primary School was able to open its own primary school because of your donations. This meant the children of St. Jude’s could stop attending schools where there were often 200 children in one class. Instead these children now attend one of the most sought-after primary schools in northern Uganda

Lacor Hospital is an internationally recognized model of humanitarianism and compassionate medical care.
New Ambulance
In 2016, you bought a new ambulance for Lacor Hospital. For pregnant women in difficult labor and for children in severe respiratory distress, ambulance transport can mean the difference between life and death. And a good ambulance is essential for so much more. Your new ambulance allowed the hospital to guarantee transfer of patients from Lacor Hospital to Mulago Hospital in Kampala for specialized services.
