Who Are We? We are a community of missionaries seeking to serve Jesus Christ by raising funds in the United States to help the Christian community in the Catholic Diocese of Kiyinda-Mityana in Uganda, Africa.
What do we do with donated funds? 100% of funds go directly towards projects in Uganda. Currently, we are working on projects at St. Luke's Medical Center and Sacred Heart Seminary.
How do we ensure funds are used for their intended purpose and projects are completed? Fr. Jude Ssenngendo is a priest who was born in and lives in Uganda. He oversees projects and distributes funds.
Are donations tax-deductible? We are a 501(c) (3) organization, allowing us to accept tax-deductible donations. After receiving donations, we provide a receipt.
