Our story
We have accomplished
The Journal
After the many years of hoping and praying with our needy children, the good Lord connected us to us to SUUBI MINISTRIES who have continued sponsoring our needy children who pass their National Primary Leaving Exams to Secondary level and since 2012; so far, 80 have been sponsored from senior one to Senior six. Before God answered our prayer, our pupils who had done and passed their National Primary Leaving Exams couldn’t join to secondary as they lacked tuition to take them to the next level of Education but instead dropped from school just after their completion their very first level of Education.

Today we have over 170 children in the centre, who come from the following areas: Buyende district, Jinja district, Mayuge district all districts of Eastern Uganda, Entebbe and Kampala the capital city of Uganda and among other various parts of the country.
The Facilitators
Currently, Mr. Mugendawala Godfrey runs the children’s centre as full-time volunteer, assisted by 6 staff and a committee of 15 members. At times volunteers from the local community and abroad do come to assist.
Our vision
To put our children’s centre and the semi finished primary school to code and to construct a senior secondary school.
