Established formally in 2014 Hope For The Elderly Ministries Uganda was along time vision of its founder, Ms Josephine Apio. Raised in a poverty and HIV/AIDS infected area, Josephine grew up to witness great impoverishment and affliction in her community particularly among the elderly who didn’t have much care. Her great attachment to one of these seniors made her promise herself to do something about their condition as soon as she could. A relentless prompt within her spirit coupled with persistent calls from within the community for such services confirmed that this was a divine mission. Following needs assessment, HFTEMU was established in December 2014. Read More

Ms Josephine Apio. Raised in a poverty and HIV/AIDS infected area, I grew up to witness great impoverishment and affliction in my community particularly among the elderly who didn’t have much care. I used to support an elderly person with basic needs since 2009, but in June 27, 2012, she fell sick and really wanted to give me her last words but unfortunately it was the day i gave birth to my daughter. When I heard she died i decided to name my daughter Hope. Her death gave me courage to help other elderly people in my community to give them hope to live a hopeful life. Read More
