Feeding Children for the Future

Our Mission

Heart 2 Heart Hand N Hand International is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to helping Batwa children living in extreme poverty in Rushaga Village, Uganda. Many of these children face daily challenges such as hunger, lack of education, and limited access to basic medical care.

Through the Heart 2 Heart School and community programs in Rushaga Village, we work alongside local leaders and families to provide food, education, medical care, and essential resources that give children the opportunity to grow, learn, and build a brighter future.

Every act of generosity helps bring hope to children who need it most. All donations directly support the Batwa children and families in Rushaga Village, Uganda, helping create sustainable change for their community and the generations that follow.

Supporting Batwa Children

The Batwa people are among the oldest tribes in Africa and also the most vulnerable communities in Uganda, and many Batwa children grow up facing extreme poverty with limited access to education, proper nutrition, and healthcare. Without support, these children often struggle to find opportunities that can change the course of their lives.

In Rushaga Village, Uganda, Heart 2 Heart works alongside local leaders and families to bring hope and opportunity to these children. Through the Heart 2 Heart Child Development Center and community programs, we provide education and essential resources that help children learn, grow, and build a stronger future for themselves and their community. Parents are supporting and helping with food, uniforms and scholastic materials but much more it still needed.

With compassion, partnership, and support from people who care, we are helping create a future filled with hope, dignity, and opportunity for Batwa children and their families.

Health & Well-Being

Access to basic healthcare is essential for children to grow and thrive. Many Batwa families have limited access to medical care, hygiene supplies, and basic health resources. Through the Heart 2 Heart School and community support programs, children and families gain support that helps improve health and prevent illness. We support a full time nurse at the school. With your donations we can provide care and hope for Batwa children.

Our Impact

  • Education opens doors to opportunity and a brighter future. Through the support of Heart 2 Heart, Batwa children are able to attend school, receive learning materials, and grow in a safe environment where they can develop skills, confidence, and hope for what lies ahead.

  • Nourishing food helps children stay healthy and gives them the energy they need to learn and grow. While some meals are provided by parents, support from donors helps provide regular meals while also encouraging sustainable food sources through farming projects that include growing vegetables and raising animals.

  • Access to basic healthcare can make a life-changing difference for children. Support helps provide essential medical care, hygiene supplies, and medicines when they are needed, helping children stay healthy and reducing the risks of preventable illness.

  • When children receive care, education, and encouragement, new possibilities begin to take shape.
