Jinja, Uganda · A registered CBO since 2018
Five hungry women knocked on a gate. We never closed it.
“I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” Isaiah 43:19
We walk with Karamojong mothers, teenage girls, and children in the slums of Walukuba Masese, Jinja, through the Word, real skills, and school fees that outlast a single meal.
80–90 Karamojong women in weekly Bible study & fellowship · Serving since 2015 · CBO since 2018
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9
“I took you from the ends of the earth… I said, ‘You are my servant’; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. So do not fear, for I am with you.”
Isaiah 41:9–10
The work
One meal opens the gate. The Word, a wage, and a desk keep it open.
A bag of food helps for a day. We build three things that help for a generation, so a mother can feed her children, teach them, and raise them from what she earns with her own hands.
Faith that heals
Women carrying rejection and trauma discover they are precious to the Father. Friday fellowship is where wounds start to close and a new identity takes root.
Skills that pay
Hands that once begged now weave baskets and raise poultry. The work earns a wage the same week, so begging on the street becomes honest trade.
School that lasts
A sponsorship puts a child in a uniform instead of a dustbin. It covers fees, supplies, and the quiet message that someone believes in their future.
How it all began · 2015
It started with a knock, and a request for water.
Five tired Karamojong women in torn clothes knocked on a gate in Jinja and asked for food and water. They were welcomed, fed, and invited back. That single meal became a weekly Bible study, and the study became a sanctuary where women the city had pushed aside are seen, taught, and restored. The same gate now welcomes hundreds every week.
