Our programs · Wakiso District, Uganda
With God’s grace, we will keep showing up.
Children are our main focus. OUR CRY CENTER currently cares for 14 orphaned children and 8 women in Wakiso District. The children need daily food and medication, education, shelter, and loving care; we also stand beside women and families facing hardship. We believe every person deserves comfort, dignity, and a place to feel at home.

The need around us
128 families need your help.
In Wakiso District, 128 families need your help. Within OUR CRY CENTER, 14 orphaned children and 8 women are currently in our care. We help ladies and families with food and basic necessities, and provide shelter to some when we currently have space. We pray to grow so more can find a safe place to feel at home.

Shelter · limited roomA place to feel at home
We currently shelter some women and families when space is available. We do not have room for everyone who needs a place, and hope to expand.

A need for young children
Mosquito nets and mattresses for little ones.
Many of the young children are sleeping on the floor and need a mattress. Families also need mosquito nets. We hope to help provide both, so children can have a more comfortable place to sleep.
These are priority needs in our community. We will share updates when we are able to provide mattresses or nets.

Ideas for the future
Pray with us for more room to welcome.
By the grace of God, we pray to find bigger land, build more shelter, and make room for more women and children to feel at home. We believe God will make a way where there seems to be no way. These are hopes we want to grow carefully with the community—not completed projects.

The faith behind our care
We believe caring for children is a calling from God.
Our faith asks us to love our neighbours not only in words, but in the small, steady ways we can: sharing food, making room, listening, and helping a child prepare for school. We pray for wisdom, strength, and a bigger place to welcome more people.
Prayer and encouragement are always offered with respect for each person and only when they are welcome.
