Rev. James Akuwa founded Care for Destitute Ministries Uganda to reach the most vulnerable with the message of hope.
Mission: to serve individuals and families of the poorest communities so that we grow together in the communion of God, and we exist to mobilize resources and relationships to empower communities and improve lives in Uganda.
Program objectives:
- To provide education support/sponsorship for destitute children (orphans and those whose families cannot afford school costs) and build a well-equipped orphanage center/school.
- To provide medical care through constructing medical centers and providing access to clean water.
- To solve the problem of school dropouts by setting up educational training programs.
- To provide economic opportunities and strength.
- To build capacity for self-help, provide support to the widows, and promote human and children’s rights.
- To deliver relief in emergencies.
Our Impact
Currently, C4DMU is sponsoring 250 children, enabling them to attend Zion Lutheran Church & School- Mukono, and other schools in Kamuli to fulfill its education program. 200 are in primary school, 20 are in high school, and 30 are in training programs.
500 families have received support through home visits, emergency food/shelter/clothing, spiritual counseling, and prayer.
750 clients have received health care services for illnesses, infections, or dental care.
145 families have been trained in farming crops such as maize, beans, cocoa, and coffee, or animal husbandry with chickens and pigs.
Thanks to our generous supporters we now have clean water!
We were able to drill a borehole for a well in Kamuli and install a water tank system in Mukono. We are grateful for our school children and the community to be able to access water free of contamination and risk of disease.
