Get to Know

The International Study Week on children with incarcerated parents is a specialized expedition through spectacular and unique interventions being carried out by Wells of Hope to mitigate the challenges brought about by parental imprisonment. It’s an exciting and inspiring 6-day event where participants get to interact with children with incarcerated parents, their families and parents in prison. Organized by Wells of Hope Ministries, the study week provides participants from different parts of the world to be engaged in a study about children with a parent in prison. Participants get an opportunity to meet the parents in prison, visit remote villages and isolated people especially grandmothers who care for their grandchildren when the parents are imprisoned. And also meet with the children with a parent in prison at Wells of Hope Schools. The children entertain the participants through Music dance and drama showcasing the traditions of Uganda while communicating the unspoken theme of the effect of parental incarceration on their lives. In the afternoons and on the last day, we conduct seminars and meetings to exchange ideas; share lessons learned and collectively arrive at an Action Agenda for Children whose Parents are in Prison.
