Stop getting stuff you don't want for your birthday...

This year why not use your birthday to do something meaningful. Instead of asking for a cake or presents ask your friends and family to make a donation in your name to HORD. 100% of the funds you raise will be used to change children’s lives!

Who We Are

Hope for Orphans and Rural Development [HORD] is a not-for-profit, non-governmental, non-political organization.  The HORD staff is 100% volunteer based. With no salaries, the only incentive for HORD staffers is to improve the living conditions in their own communities – that is incentive enough.
A young organization, with limited resources, HORD is initially focusing its programs and services in Uganda’s Kamuli District; home of HORD’s founder and one of the poorest districts in all of Uganda. Kamuli is divided into 14 sub counties, the largest of which has a population of  over712,000. HORD has a staff of 13 volunteer field workers, each responsible for a single sub-county. The field workers act as the eyes and ears of their assigned sub-county, ensuring that HORD’s assistance reaches those most in need. HORD’s founder, Simon Nzigu, serves as the field coordinator, overseeing the work of the field volunteers.
Mr. Nzigu is responsible for designing and implementing HORD’s programs. He dedicates his time to soliciting support, such as scholarships, gifts in-kind, and adoptive families.
He has also brought vocational and agricultural training programs to the community.  Mr. Nzigu houses 23 orphans in his own home.
