Who We Are

St. Anthony Bread of Hope Foundation is a Ugandan faith-rooted, non-profit organization inspired by the compassionate spirit of St. Anthony of Padua, the patron saint of the poor.

Guided by Catholic values and a deep sense of empathy, we are dedicated to transforming the lives of vulnerable children across Uganda by addressing their most pressing needs — food, shelter, education, protection, essential services, and spiritual formation.

Uganda has a population of approximately 45 million people, with over 50% under the age of 15. The number of vulnerable children has reached alarming levels, and our goal is to reach at least 50,000 children in the next five years through holistic, measurable, and impactful interventions.
