We make sure that HOREMI receives 100% of the donations. We can personally attest to the fact that they make a big difference on the ground. As a small private organization (non-profit association), we have the great advantage that we know all those involved on the ground personally and were able to see the progress for ourselves in Uganda. We are in close contact with those responsible and they keep us constantly up to date. This means that we at “Friends of HOREMI” can always rejoice in the fact that together we are really making a difference.
Would you like to be part of it? Whether you choose a quick one-off donation via Paypal or long-term monthly support by bank transfer — HOREMI is happy to receive literally every euro (or Uganda shilling, which is the local currency).
Two pieces of good news first: Thanks to the help of HOREMI sponsors, the basic living conditions for Kelvin, Shukran (pictured) and their 30 or so HOREMI siblings have improved significantly in recent months.
Basic necessities, such as food and clothing, wages for helpers and school fees for the older kids, are now much more securely financed than just a few months ago. And thanks to the great willingness to donate, especially before Christmas, we were able to build our own school, which is so important. That’s great, thank you very much!
Despite this progress, the living conditions of HOREMI children are still precarious. The diet is very simple and consists mainly of carbohydrates that make them full. The children live from hand to mouth, there are hardly any reserves for emergencies such as illnesses, accidents, droughts, floods etc. There is no regular health care. There is no electricity. There is no running water. There is still a lot to do.
Health. Water. Electricity.
With a donation of
you finance:
regular health care
a reliable local water supply
the development of a photovoltaic infrastructure
Together we can make the children’s lives easier
Promote health: Help to ensure that malaria medication and mosquito nets, worm cures and water disinfection, vitamins and vaccinations, education and medical visits are available.
Let there be light: HOREMI has no access to the public power supply. In order to bring electricity and light to the orphanage and the school, a sufficiently large photovoltaic system is needed. This investment would be inconceivable without our help.
Water march: Water canisters weighing up to 25 kilograms have to be dragged around 200 meters and more than 300 households are crowded around a borehole next to HOREMI. A second well near the orphanage would relieve the burden on all of them, but is not feasible with our own resources.
Preparing the ground: HOREMI would like to expand the existing, modest agriculture for self-sufficiency and as a source of income. However, the necessary funds for land, labor and adapted seeds are unfortunately (still) lacking.
Education, education, education: The path to a better and self-determined future begins at the school door. That is why the founders of HOREMI are doing everything they can to provide their protégés and the children from the surrounding communities with a high-quality and affordable school education. We are doing our best to support HOREMI and invite you to join us.
Sponsorships: A future for a handful of Euros
With a monthly sponsorship contribution, you can support HOREMI orphans, needy schoolchildren from a neighboring village and the (often underpaid) teachers. Each sponsorship always benefits the entire group.
Teacher sponsorship: With just 40 euros per month, you can finance half of a teacher’s salary and thus help to keep the school running.
Student sponsorship: With just 10 euros per month, you pay the school fees and daily lunch of a village child from a very poor family — with 20 or xx euros accordingly for two or more children.
Child sponsorship: 40 euros per month cover the basic needs of an orphan child for food, clothing, accommodation, school.

Sponsorships are the most sustainable form of help, as they have a long-term effect and therefore offer important planning security. If you are interested, you can find more information in the FAQ. Sponsorships can also be arranged individually, please contact us for specific arrangements: hello@horemi.org
Thank you for your donation and welcome to the Friends of HOREMI!
