Breaking the Cycle of Sorrow: Empowering Refugees through Love and Skills Development

Refugees often carry deep emotional scars from traumatic experiences, having lost loved ones, homes, and livelihoods. Memories of these hardships can evoke overwhelming sorrow, making it difficult to find peace.

In Uganda, many refugee youth face an uncertain future after completing senior four and senior six. Lack of access to education, job opportunities, and vocational training exacerbates their struggles.

At Future Hopes, we're dedicated to empowering refugees in Uganda through education, economic empowerment, and vocational skills training.

But our work goes beyond just providing services - we're committed to treating every individual with dignity, respect, and love.

As the Urantia Book reminds us, "Love your neighbor as yourself." (Paper 131, Section 2)
"And to all who love the Lord supremely and their neighbors like themselves, the God of heaven says: 'I will ransom you from the grave; i will redeem you from death. I will be merciful to your children, as well as just. Have I not said of my creatures on earth, you are the sons of the living God? And have I not loved you with an everlasting love? Have I not called you to become like me and to dwell forever with me in Paradise?"
This timeless teaching inspires our mission at Future Hopes.

We believe that loving our neighbors means recognizing their inherent worth, dignity, and potential. It means providing more than just material support – it means offering emotional, psychological, and spiritual care.
We are not serving individuals we are serving the divine within them.

Our programs focus on:

Vocational skills training for economic empowerment
Education and literacy development
Psychological support and trauma counseling

By acquiring practical skills, refugee youth can:

Regain confidence and self-worth
Secure better livelihoods and economic stability
Rebuild their communities and create positive change

As we strive to love our neighbors as ourselves, let's join hands to empower refugee youth and help them break free from the cycle of sorrow.
