After purchasing almost 4 acres of land in June 2008 near Jinja, Uganda, the HopeBuilders team are now moving forward on the construction of the "Village of Hope". Eventually this village will be the home to almost 160 high risk and vulnerable orphans as well as some mothers. The village will consist of around 20 homes and an administration centre. There will be three teams mianly from Victoria, Australia descending on the property during January and February 2009 to be part of the building work.
Already some micro-enterprise of this Village is underway in the form of earth brick making. These bricks will actually be used in the construction of the homes, and some fo the widows have been engaged in their production. They will earn an income from this venture
