Hope For African Children Club

The Hope for African Children Club (HFAC) was started to support Keneth Kiyija, a man who came to Dominican in 2009 and befriended every person he met. He touched many individuals’ lives with his story and openness of stories and cultures of Uganda. Our commonality with Keneth is an opportunity to create a powerful bond that transcends all egos and fulfills a greater cause for all people.

Mission

"We are building bridges with Africa through Hope for African Children (HAC), a non-government organization in Masaka and Rakai, Uganda that acts to bring health care, education and basic needs to orphaned and vulnerable children who cannot afford these things.” This club is not about charity; it is about solidarity. It is about sharing the stories from Dominican University of California to Masaka and understanding our inter-connectedness and struggle forward together as people. 

Building Lifelong Memories 

Our members will be able to build relationships, share stories, culture, and resources and eventually meet their friends and family from Uganda. Through the work of fundraising and educating on his project, the Hope for African Children Club wants to touch young lives in Uganda, as Keneth did here in 2009.
