We are located in Katongole Cell, Katovu Town Council, Lwengo District, Uganda – East Africa. This region, situated in the Masaka–Ankole dry corridor, faces prolonged droughts and high HIV/AIDS prevalence, leaving many widows, orphans, and vulnerable children in need of hope and support.

For over 25 years, the couple has served faithfully—spreading the gospel of Christ through evangelism, crusades, mentorship, discipleship, and community outreach. Their ministry also speaks boldly against child abuse, domestic violence, and all forms of exploitation, while promoting wealth creation and socio-economic transformation.
