Hope In Every Backpack

Use your investments to invest in brighter futures for children around the world.

Donating appreciated securities is a powerful way to give. You may qualify for a charitable tax deduction and potentially reduce capital gains taxes, allowing your gift to go even further.

Most importantly, you are using your investments to invest in the lives of children in Uganda and Lebanon. Your support changes lives: from providing nutritious meals to children who need them, to expanding access to quality education, creating skill-training opportunities for youth, and fostering small groups where young people are mentored and loved.

We partner with Stock Donator to securely process all transfer requests.

Real change doesn't happen overnight. It happens because somebody keeps showing up every day.

That's what a monthly gift really is. In Uganda, it provides breakfast and lunch for students who once spent the entire afternoon learning on an empty stomach. In Lebanon, it means a girl has a place where she is known, loved, encouraged, and taught life skills.

The graphic below shows how far each dollar goes. It makes a real difference.

“A joyful heart is good medicine...”
— Proverbs 17:22

Seeing this smile from one of our students reminds us why we do what we do. Hope changes everything. 🤍

Because of the incredible generosity of our founding sponsors, Hope In Every Backpack came to life, building our foundation and getting our core programs off the ground. Now, our mission is long-term sustainability. Consistent, reliable support is what keeps our daily work moving forward. Becoming a Monthly Partner of Hope directly fuels:

Nutrition & Education: Sustaining our partner school in Uganda with daily meals, classroom resources, and student care.

Faith & Mentoring: Supporting community groups and mentorship spaces for teens in Lebanon.

When you give monthly, you are not just making a donation. You are showing up for these kids and teens month after month.

To the Hope In Every Backpack community: thank you for caring, for giving, and for standing with these students. 💛

As Daniel, our Uganda Program Director, shared:

“In Uganda, many children come to school on an empty stomach, which makes it impossible for them to focus or learn. By launching this feeding program, we are not just filling plates; we are fueling minds, improving daily attendance and showing these children that God provides for their physical needs alongside their spiritual ones.”

Last month, we provided over 3,800 meals to our amazing students!

Hearing kids like Nantambi share how much more energy they have to learn and play is a direct result of your support. We are so grateful for every single person who helps keep this program going.

Big news! Next week, we’re sending out our very first newsletter—and you won’t want to miss it.

We’ll be sharing powerful stories and updates directly from our work in Lebanon and Uganda. 🇱🇧🇺🇬

We’re building Hope In Every Backpack on a foundation of transparency, accountability, and trust.

That’s why we’re excited to share that, after two months of receiving our official 501(c)(3) status, we’ve earned the Candid Silver Seal of Transparency.

As a nonprofit in our first year, this is the highest Candid Seal we can achieve until we complete our first year of financial reporting. Once we’ve filed our first Form 990, we’ll work toward earning Gold and, ultimately, Platinum.

When you support Hope In Every Backpack, you deserve to know how your gifts are being used. Earning the Candid Silver Seal reflects our commitment to operating with openness, integrity, and responsible stewardship from day one.

Thank you for believing in our mission and helping us build something that will make a lasting difference.
