About Us
The Hopeland School was founded and managed by Two Soles, a non profit charity organization. At Hopeland School, we believe education is the cornerstone of opportunity. What began as a vision to support children in Uganda has blossomed into a school that can now serve over 1200 children in a rural community.
Our journey started with the simple idea that every child deserves a chance to learn, dream, and thrive. Today, the school stands as a beacon of hope, providing not just education but also daily meals, clean water, and a safe environment for children to grow.
We are driven by the generous support of our donors and volunteers who share our mission of transforming lives. Together, we are paving the way for a brighter future—one child at a time.
Our Core Values
The Mission
Two Soles’ mission, as a nonprofit organization, is to help give children in Uganda an education and better healthcare by providing mandatory uniform standard shoes to every child who needs them. Our aim is to give them hope that a more promising future awaits them and that they have a place in this world. They won’t just be surviving; they’ll be thriving. Our aim is to show them they are wanted, loved and cared for. An educated child will grow up to be a confident and capable adult whose contributions will be meaningful to their world and ours.
From the Founder
MINA ABDI
I tried to imagine what it must feel like to be left in an orphanage by the people who are supposed to love me the most or what it must feel like to be denied an education because I don’t have uniform standard shoes or what it must feel like not being able to sleep out of fear of jigger bites leading to incapacitation.
On my second trip to Uganda, I wanted these shoes to protect children from jigger infestation and allow them to attend school. But most of all, I wanted these shoes to remind kids that people still care about them and they aren’t abandoned and there is still goodness in this world. It is an American privilege to think you can swoop in on someone and renew their belief in goodness.
Although this story may have been born from empathy, it has been sustained by the symbiotic relationship between the children and donors. While it is always Two Soles’s aim to remind a child of the goodness in the world, we often find that they remind us of the joy in it.
