Nutrition Program
The Story Behind the Nutrition Program
​
The Nutrition Program at Nakaseeta School has been running smoothly since May 2018. Christina first visited Uganda in 2015 and returned in February 2017, where she connected with John Joseph Mutegeki, the Director of Nakaseeta Foundation Primary Christian School. During their conversations, they recognized a pressing need—many children were receiving only one small meal of porridge at school, which for some was their only meal of the day.
After careful planning, they realized that for just $500 USD per month, all 225 enrolled children could receive two daily meals: a bowl of porridge and a traditional Ugandan dish of posho and beans. Upon returning home, Christina established Hope Restored Christian Ministries, quickly securing the $500/month sponsorship needed. In May 2018, the Nutrition Program officially launched, providing two daily meals for all children and staff. With rising enrollment and inflation, the cost has since increased to $650/month, supporting over 400 children and staff.
“We are so thankful for Hope Restored. The children can concentrate in class now that they’re not hungry. They are much more healthy now.
Medical Clinic:
Addressing Critical Health Needs
​Medical staff and supplies are urgently needed at the Medical Clinic in Nakaseeta. Malaria remains a preventable but deadly disease, claiming the lives of 400,000 people around the world every year, with the majority of cases occurring in Africa. Hope Restored is actively seeking partners in the medical community to ensure children receive vaccinations against life-threatening diseases such as malaria, polio, and other preventable illnesses.
SPONSORSHIP
Sponsorship: Transforming Lives One Child at a Time
​
Each of these children would benefit greatly from sponsorship. Many of their parents are farmers, earning less than the equivalent of one US dollar per day. A sponsorship of $35/month can make a tremendous difference in a child’s life, providing essential support such as food, clothing, school supplies, and medical treatment. Remember, all donations are tax-deductible.

Poultry Farm
Sustainable Development Through Poultry Farming
​
In 2024, Hope Restored established a Poultry Farm with 1,000 chickens, which soon began producing eggs. These eggs directly support the school’s Nutrition Program, providing a vital source of protein for the children. Any surplus eggs are sold locally, generating additional funds to further support the school financially.
The Poultry Farm is more than just a source of food—it is also an educational opportunity. Students learn about sustainable farming practices, animal care, and basic business principles, empowering them with skills they can use beyond school.
Demonstration Farm
Collaboration with Local University
As a focus for 2021 and 2022, we collaborated with a local University in Uganda on a Demonstration Farm/Poultry Farm project in Nakaseeta. University interns work alongside local farmers, teaching advanced farming techniques, improving food availability, and enhancing the quality of life in the village.
Hands-On Education for Students
The study of crops is also an important part of the school curriculum. Students learn about sustainable agriculture, participate in farm activities, and benefit from fresh, nutritious vegetables grown on school grounds—nourishing their growing bodies while enhancing their education.
