Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) 

Access to clean water remains one of the most urgent challenges in Mmanze. A solar-powered system exists, but it currently ends two kilometers short of the Mmanze Development Complex, leaving schools, churches, homes, and the health centre without reliable access.

To address this, we are working to:

• Connect the system to the national power grid

• Install a storage tank near the development complex

• Extend two kilometers of transmission piping

• Build distribution lines to key community locations

Reliable access to clean water would immediately improve public health, education, sanitation, and daily life for thousands.

Child Sponsorship Program

Many children in Mmanze face significant economic barriers to education. Our Child Sponsorship Program connects donors with students in need of school fees, uniforms, learning materials, and daily support.

Through this program, vulnerable children and orphans are able to remain in school and continue their education. Ongoing support allows us to expand this opportunity to more children each year.

Busaawa–Mmanze Health Centre

Established in 1994, the Busaawa–Mmanze Health Centre serves a population of nearly 100,000 people, many of whom would otherwise lack access to medical care. Due to high patient demand, the facility is in urgent need of renovation and expansion.

Services include:

• Outpatient and inpatient care

• HIV/AIDS testing and counseling

• Maternity, antenatal, and postnatal care

• Community outreach programs

Strengthening this centre improves not only individual health outcomes but the stability of the entire community.

Mmanze Community Secondary School

This school provides essential education to students from socially and economically disadvantaged backgrounds, including orphans. In addition to academics, the school offers uniforms, meals when available, and basic medical support.

It also extends its impact beyond students by equipping parents and guardians with practical skills in:

• Sustainable agriculture

• Community health practices

• Savings and financial management

• Environmental sanitation

• Small business development

Education here does not only change individual lives. It creates long-term opportunity for entire families.

Holy Cross Namutenga Community Primary School

Despite its name, this is not an orphanage but a primary school serving vulnerable children, many of whom have been orphaned. 

Approximately 120 children between the ages of four and twelve receive early education, care, and daily structure. The school provides a safe and supportive environment for children who would otherwise face significant hardship.

• Expand access to clean water across the community

• Provide education and resources for vulnerable children

• Improve and expand healthcare services

• Strengthen local schools and training programs

• Support long-term community development initiatives
