Sole Hope

April 28, 2014 Leave a Comment

One of the greatest blessings of having the privilege of running a charitable foundation is the opportunity to connect directly with people who are changing the world by serving needs. Perhaps that is why we are so firm in our belief that when we choose to support an organization, we commit to them fully through our time, talents and resources.

We’re doing that with Sole Hope.

Sole Hope offers children living in Uganda HOPE, healthier lives, and freedom from foot-related diseases through education, jobs and medical relief. Through an ongoing partnership with Sole Hope the Weisberg Family Foundation has supported the purchase of shoemaking equipment and materials, 400 foot care kits for children, a playground and bunk beds for the new Hope House where children with more severe foot related problems can stay and be cared for.

We’re excited to start sharing the story of Sole Hope and the HOPE they are bringing to children in Uganda. But most of all we’re excited that there will be a day when children in Uganda will be Jigger free.

What Is Extreme Poverty & Who Are The Extremely Poor?

July 1, 2013 Leave a Comment

Extreme poverty is defined as average daily consumption of $1.25 or less and means living on the edge of subsistence.

The extreme poor live on less the $1.25 a day.

Many lack basic sanitation and clean drinking water; they’re malnourished and suffer from lack of education.

The facts speak volumes.

But there is hope that their numbers can be significantly reduced within a lifetime.

Maybe even your lifetime.

A Chance For Children

March 5, 2013 Leave a Comment

A Chance for Children strives to empower at-risk youth by providing the opportunities to set goals and the tools to achieve them. We fight to instill the belief that no child is limited by their surroundings or upbringing. By encouraging dreams and consistently exposing them to new experiences outside the dangers and struggles of their daily lives each child will have a chance for a better future.
