ABOUT US
In the spring of 2007, three men from Kayango, Uganda, went up to a hilltop to pray for their village. They spent three days and three nights asking the Lord to send help to their land; the education system was incredibly poor and there was wickedness and poverty everywhere. The three men stayed upon the hill for 72 hours with no food, water or shelter, amidst ferocious storms and swarms of mosquitos.
Eighteen months later, a church in Grant, Nebraska felt the call to enhance their global missions. After researching opportunities, they partnered with Children’s HopeChest who coordinated the sponsoring of orphan children in Uganda in order to give them a better quality of life. The specific village the children were from? Kayango.
On launch day in 2009, all 100 children were sponsored by two local churches; the Lord had answered the cries of His people in Uganda!
After several years and trips over the ocean, the organization has grown from children meeting in a pastor’s home for meals and devotions, to a five acre plot of ground that serves as a fenced care center known as the Kayango Children’s Kiddukiro, or KCK.
We officially became CARE Uganda in the spring of 2013 and our own 501c3 in 2019. The ministry is completely funded and sustained by our sponsors and capital supporters.
Our Mission
Our mission is to transform Uganda for Christ through the care, education and discipleship of its youth.
Our Purpose
CARE Uganda oversees the sponsorship and care of needy children in Kayango, Uganda. We connect one child in Kayango, with one sponsor in the US.
Our sponsors are directly invested in the lives of these children through monthly financial support, intentional prayer, and letter writing.
Unlike other ministries, all sponsorship money goes directly to the care and education of the children, and all of our administrative and leadership positions in the United States are volunteer based.
As we work to reach Uganda for Christ, each $50 sponsorship is used to:
