Mission
OFFERING HOPE, HEALTHIER LIVES AND FREEDOM FROM FOOT RELATED DISEASES THROUGH EDUCATION, JOBS AND MEDICAL RELIEF.
-
TUNGA PENETRANS, KNOWN AS JIGGERS, ARE SMALL SAND FLEAS THAT BURROW INTO THE BARE FEET OF THOUSANDS OF UGANDAN CHILDREN WHO OFTEN LIVE THEIR LIVES WITHOUT ADEQUATE FOOTWEAR. ALONG WITH A MISCONCEPTION ABOUT THE CAUSE OF JIGGERS, THE RESULTS INCLUDE INFECTION, GANGRENE, LOSS OF MOBILITY AND THE OCCASIONAL AMPUTATION AND EVEN DEATH. SOLE HOPE IS COMBATING THE JIGGER PROBLEM IN UGANDA IN TEN MAJOR DISTRICTS. (1) COMMUNITY CLINICS: EVERY WEEK SOLE HOPE TRANSPORTS A TEAM OF MEDICAL PROFESSIONALS, SOCIAL WORKERS, EDUCATORS AND VOLUNTEERS TO A CLINIC SITE IN VILLAGES, WHERE APPROXIMATELY 150 PATIENTS HAVE THEIR FEET WASHED AND TREATED, AND LATER EACH ONE RECEIVES A PAIR OF SHOES TO PROTECT THEIR FEET AND PREVENT RE-INFESTATION. (2) IN COLLABORATION WITH GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS, SOLE HOPE ALSO ESTABLISHED 5 PARTNER CLINICS IN DISTANT DISTRICTS AND THESE ARE RUN BY GOVERNMENT HEALTH WORKERS TRAINED BY SOLE HOPE IN JIGGER MANAGEMENT. (3) SOLE HOPE'S RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT FACILITY POPULARLY KNOWN AS THE HOPE CENTRE, ADMITS AND PROVIDES INPATIENT SERVICES TO SEVERELY INFESTED PATIENTS. ON AVERAGE, 30 PATIENTS ARE ADMITTED PER MONTH.(4) SOLE HOPE RUNS A SHOE WORKSHOP THAT MAKES AN AVERAGE OF 1,700 PAIRS PER MONTH.(5) SOLE HOPE ORGANISES VULNERABLE WOMEN INTO SELF HELP GROUPS AND TRAINS THEM IN INCOME GENERATION AND FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT FOR PURPOSES OF UPLIFTING THEIR HOUSEHOLD INCOME LEVELS AND BE ABLE TO AFFORD BASIC NEEDS FOR THEIR FAMILIES.(6) SOLE HOPE ESTABLISHED CHILD PROTECTION CLUBS IN SCHOOLS TO TRAIN CHILDREN ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES, AND PROMOTE PEER TO PEER LEARNING.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
Grants made
No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.

Other IRS files
Auto-Revocation List
Not listed. The IRS publishes this list for organizations whose exemption was automatically revoked for failing to file for three consecutive years.
Publication 78
Listed as of 13 October 2026, under deductibility PC.
These are two separate IRS files on two separate schedules, shown as published and not reconciled with each other. Neither is a statement about whether a contribution is deductible today: 19,245 organizations appear in Publication 78 while the IRS's own revocation file lists them as currently revoked, more than half of those revoked before 2019. Absence from Publication 78 is evidence of nothing, and presence is not evidence either. Verify current status with the IRS before relying on it.
