Who We Are
Ripples of Hope Initiative is a social impact organization providing education access for children, skills mentorship for youth and micro-loans for women in Uganda’s underserved communities. The organization was founded in 2021 as a sustainable post-covid-19 intervention to combat lack of access to education opportunities, youth unemployment and poverty in the underserved communities of Jinja.
