Causes: Christianity, Religion
Mission: Our mission is, in the name of Jesus Christ, to serve and empower orphans and vulnerable children in Uganda, meeting their physical, educational and spiritual needs through local community partners.
Target demographics: orphans and widows
Geographic areas served: Uganda
Programs: True Impact Ministries helps orphans and impoverished children and families. We accomplish our mission through four specific approaches: * Child Sponsorships * Special Building Projects (water, building and infrastructure) * Medical Clinics * Allocation of Donated Funds for specific individual/ministry needs (education, healthcare, etc.) Our ministry works directly with pastors in Uganda. These pastors are leaders of either orphan homes or Christian schools. Over the last 15+ years, our organization has built school buildings, dormitories, kitchens, water projects and homes for these orphan homes and schools and families in need. Since 2011, we have offered child sponsorships to provide food, clothing, tuition and medical assistance for almost 300 children. All the children in our program attend a Christian primary school, and most go on to a Christian secondary school. Our support of the pastors at these homes and schools allows them to be the spiritual guidance for the children. They provide teaching and training in following Jesus as well as how to live a Christian life in Uganda. Our desire is for Ugandans to raise up Ugandans, so they are not reliant on a “hand out” from foreigners. We support them so they can raise their children out of poverty.
