GRACE CHILDREN MINISTRIES in Mityana Uganda were created to support children who are socially alienated as a result of losing their parents due to HIV and AIDS. Many such children are expelled from their homes because family members deem them unclean or contagious. Extended family members may not
be financially stable and cannot care for these children. For socially displaced infants and children
with no adult support, life becomes very challenging at such an early stage. This is why we are seeking to help many of the children whose fate can be changed by this organization.
“GRACE CHILDREN MINISTRIES concentrate on orphans and needy children in our community and in other parts of Uganda. We are registered as a charitable organization in the district under sec.7 (2) of the Non-Government Organization Registration (Amendment) Act, 2006 and development groups for orphans. Registration no. MIT /181/2014. We seek, regardless of race, age, religious or ethnic background, to provide basic accommodations, nutrition, and education, and introduce children to the love of Jesus Christ. GET INVOLVED
There are many ways to get involved with Grace Ministries Uganda in Mityana, Uganda:
So many times we want to give more to those that need help. We might think that giving only comes in the form of cash donations. This is not true. You can give by helping others. Everyone can give something whether it is time, money or some other way of helping others. Helping others includes the times when you visit them, doing voluntary or charity work for them, running errands for them who are unable or even when you just offer your umbrella to them on a rainy day. Let’s take a look at these in the Bible about helping others:
Deuteronomy 15:11 For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, ‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land. GRACE CHILDREN MINISTRIES

GRACE CHILDREN MINISTRIES GOALS/FUTURE PLANS
Teaching the children in school so that they can be able to support their lives in future. Also providing them with English literatures to lean more English. But here we have a hope to construct our own school very soon as soon as we cover 50% of what we need and that money we have been using to pay their school fees will be diverted to teachers salaries. Construction of children’s homes, and providing a loving home, family and community for orphaned children here in our entire communities. This will need the following:-
Purchasing the land
Money to pay the constructors
Materials
Promoting and introduce the people to God. This will be done through:-
Gospel outreaches
Door to door outreaches
Schools ministry
Prison ministry
Construction of a school primary and secondary school for the orphans, where they can study together. Currently they are still dispersing to various local schools here in Mityana. We would like also to solve the problem of water scarce in our community through:-
Constructing water wells. Boreholes
Providing water filters to the local people. Many people are really sick due to the dirty water they use. About Uganda
Uganda is a landlocked country in East Africa. It is bordered on the east by Kenya, on the north by Sudan, on the west by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, on the southwest by Rwanda, and on the south by Tanzania. The southern part of the country includes a substantial portion of Lake Victoria, which is also bordered by Kenya and Tanzania. Uganda was named after the Buganda kingdom, which encompassed a portion of the south of the country including the capital city, Kampala. It is a country for many different ethnic groups, none of whom form a majority of the population. Around 25 different languages are regularly and currently in use in the country. English became the official language of Uganda after independence in 1962. Uganda, with its population of 34.5 million people, is divided into 112 districts spread across four administrative regions: Northern, Eastern, Central and Western. The districts are subdivided into counties. A number of districts have been added in the past few years. Most districts are named after their main commercial and administrative towns. Each district is divided into sub-districts, counties, sub-counties, parishes and villages. For decades, Uganda’s economy suffered from devastating economic policies and instability, leaving Uganda as one of the world’s poorest countries. The country has commenced economic reforms and growth has been strong
