This November marks our 20th anniversary, which we celebrated in style this past April at our annual Seeds of Hope fundraising event. We could not have attained this amazing milestone without you and none of our accomplishments could have happened without your unwavering support. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts! 2025 has been a very productive year on COVE’s campus! Here are few notes we would like to share with you.

• Expansion of the Clinic
  The Health Clinic has been an amazing part of the St. Jerome campus over the years which benefits the students and faculty as well as the surrounding community. We recently engaged the services of a doctor to be on site for five days each week, and there is an identified need to expand the medical services and capabilities of the facility even further. These improvements could become a valuable source of income for COVE and Fr. Hilary’s vision begins with the first phase of expansion. Stay tuned for more details as things unfold. We are very excited about this endeavor!


• Vernon Hills Visits COVE Alliance
  A group from Vernon Hills, IL traveled to Kapeeka, Uganda this summer. It was a very special time because it has been 8 years since such a trip took place! The group reported that it was great to see our Ugandan friends and to observe the physical fruits of our hard work and financial support. They were able to visit with sponsored children and observe the many upgrades that have been accomplished over the past few years!


• Annual Appeal Request
  We request that you continue to partner with us in this landmark year! Join us in continuing our mission. Proceeds from this year’s appeal will benefit the Clinic expansion, as well as our operational budget needs.

Please help us continue our good work in preparing the children of COVE to sustain themselves and their families in the future!

WEBALE NYO! Thank you very much!
