Founded in 2013, Buene Hope Foundation works across the DRC, Uganda, and Burundi to help vulnerable communities build stable, healthy, and dignified lives. We serve orphans, widows, people with disabilities, and older persons through education, healthcare, and economic initiatives delivered with local partners—schools, clinics, cooperatives, and community leaders.
Our work is organized into three pillars: WIN (Watoto In Need) for integrated child protection (including Buene House of Children and educational support), WOP (Women Pamoja) for menstrual dignity and women’s livelihoods (Buene Pads and Buene Centre), and UZIMA Initiative for primary healthcare and safe water (Uzima Santé and Maji+). Guided by dignity, inclusion, transparency, sustainability, and a community-driven approach, our multilingual team in Goma, Bukavu, and Kampala measures results with clear KPIs, regular reporting, and strong safeguarding. Join us to turn compassion into lasting impact.
Build a future where every child, every woman, and every vulnerable community lives with dignity, health, and security with equitable access to fundamental rights.
Deliver concrete, sustainable, community-driven humanitarian responses to major challenges in child protection, public health, women’s economic empowerment, and access to safe water.
Our values are simple: human dignity, inclusion, transparency, sustainability, and a community-driven approach. We respect every person, steward resources openly, and co-create lasting solutions with local communities.
We believe that real change begins with compassion. At Buene Hope Foundation, we create safe spaces, support systems, and opportunities where those most in need are treated with dignity and care.
