27 November 2024. Bugembe, Jinja District, Uganda. Daniel, 18, looks on as Mary works on a painting in a weekly skilling program held at Home of Hope. The skilling program is run three times a week where the children learn various forms of art and craft from local artist and disability advocate Joseph. The aim is to provide the children with skills that promote independence after they reach the age of 18 and legally have to move on from the Home of Hope. As Daniel has turned eighteen he will be moving to a newly constructed purpose built assisted living home in nearby Buwenge but until the move the home is forced into non-compliance.
