Kassunga Mission Initiative

Kassunga Mission Initiative KMI is an nonprofit organization devoted to creating brighter futures for the children in the rural village of Kassunga, Uganda!

Kassunga is a rural village in southern Uganda. The families in this village live in poverty, often going without basic necessities like clean water or a pair of shoes. Despite this, we discovered on a mission trip to Uganda that the people of Kassunga embrace life with positivity and hope for the future that is truly inspiring! Our goal at KMI is to help them break the cycle of poverty through ed

ucation. We are building a school called St. Theresa Learning Center where students can learn everything from reading and writing to trade skills like carpentry and hairdressing. The children will have brighter futures than their parents ever dreamed and the villagers who work to build the structure and furniture or teach in the school are earning income to provide for their families! We are even building a well that will give them access to drinkable water, something they currently have to walk for miles carrying heavy jugs to get! There is so much more work to be done to change the lives of these amazing people! These pictures show the difference you can make! Your prayers and support for our mission means so much more than we can describe, but for now we say “Thank you!” or as they say in Uganda… “Weebale nnyo!”

Ten years ago, in July 2016, a group of travelers from the USA embarked on a journey to Uganda. They explored different parts of the country (both urban and rural), crosses the Equator, saw the Nile River and Lake Victoria, and even went on a safari!

But the most precious memory of that trip was visiting the village of Kassunga. Meeting the sweet children and enthusiastic parent and teachers. Seeing the 2 room school building where they worked and studied and dreamed big dreams!

The travelers began to dream big dreams of their own. Dreams of building up that school, supporting this amazing community, and giving the children the best possible future! And soon after…Kassunga Mission Initiative was born! It has been an INCREDIBLE 10 years, and we look forward to many more!

We look fondly at the past where it all began, and dream of what we can achieve in the future as we work hand-in-hand!

Earlier this month, about 100 St. Teresa Learning Centre alumni returned to their Alma Mater for an overnight reunion. There was a special evening roast, with a bonfire the evening everyone arrived. Attendees stayed in the dormitories which were vacant as currents students were home on break. The next morning included breakfast, Mass celebrated by Father John Kazibwe, a presentation by a motivational speaker, and a luncheon.

All the young people you see in this video are people whose lives YOU have directly impacted through your support of KMI as a volunteer, a donor, or simply through your prayers! How beautiful is the sound of their joyful gratitude for the blessings thy have received?

We would love to make this reunion an annual tradition for former STLC students to come together and celebrate their accomplishments at the school where it all began! To help us make that happen, visit https://kassungamission.org/about-us/ and click “Donate”.
