we cannot do everything, but we can do something.

and what we can do, and should do, we will do.

Street Children's Ministry

Our Street Children's Ministry provides comprehensive care for children living on the streets, offering meals, medical care, clothing, and legal support when necessary. We also focus on trauma counseling and restoration, providing family reunification and resettlement services, including transportation back home and a resettlement package that includes clothing, bedding, rice, seeds, and farm tools. Additionally, we offer ongoing welfare checkups to ensure the children’s continued safety and well-being, creating a holistic approach to healing and empowerment.

Saving Grace Children's Village

Hands Up Program

The Hands Up Program is a life-changing initiative providing vocational training to young men and women who we have successfully helped transition from street life to living with someone in their extended family.  In addition to vocational training, the program includes discipleship, meals, and housing to support their development. Participants are given the skills, trade tools, and resources needed to secure employment or start their own businesses. This holistic approach empowers these young people, providing them with both practical skills and spiritual growth, ensuring they have the tools to build a brighter future.

Village at Risk

The Village at Risk program focuses on helping families in rural areas overcome challenges related to food insecurity and lack of access to clean water. We provide safe drinking water through deep borehole wells and distribute seeds, farming tools, and educational resources to help families grow crops for food and profit. Through this program, we aim to foster self-sufficiency, ensuring families can support themselves long-term. Additionally, we integrate discipleship into our farming initiatives, building stronger communities grounded in faith and sustainability. Two churches in remote villages have been started as a result of this initiative.

SGU Village offers a safe, loving home environment for forty of the youngest and most vulnerable street children who have no one else to care for them. With dedicated house mothers loving them, the children are given meals, medical support, education, and discipleship in a home environment. The village helps foster a sense of stability and community, with children not only receiving the resources they need to grow but also the spiritual guidance to thrive. We also support children as they transition out of the village, continuing their education in vocational or secondary school and equipping them with tools for self-sufficiency, such as goats, which help to promote sustainable living.

  • Community at Risk

    Through the Community at Risk program, we support individuals and families facing extreme poverty and hardship. We provide food relief, entrepreneurship training, and startup loans to help people become self-sufficient. By offering resources such as business training and materials, we empower individuals, particularly women, to support their families and create opportunities for economic growth. When we are able we provide tuition and school supplies for children in these families to school.   Discipleship is at the core of this program, guiding participants toward spiritual transformation as they build a better future.

  • Education

    Education is central to the mission of Saving Grace Uganda. With Saving Grace Primary School serving as the top school in northern Uganda, we offer over 1000 children the opportunity to receive an exceptional education, including two or three nutritious meals a day and daily discipleship. We provide scholarships to over 150 students who would not be able to attend school without assistance. Many of these come from the poorest families in the area.  For older children, we offer secondary, vocational, and college education to help them pursue their dreams and secure a brighter future. In addition to our main campus, we have a second school located in the heart of the city, making it easier for vulnerable children and families to access education. Education is not just about academics but also about building strong, confident individuals who are grounded in their faith.

  • Saving Grace Church and Outreach Ministries

    Saving Grace Outreach Ministries operates out of a building in downtown Lira, Uganda.  It is a place of spiritual nourishment and support for the entire community. The medical clinics and food distribution for street children are facilitated at this property.  There is an area at the back of the property for street kids to bathe and wash their clothes. Through children’s church, Bible study, pastor training, worship and prayer meetings, we foster spiritual growth and discipleship. Outreach teams travel to remote villages to share the gospel.  We offer counseling for both street children and vulnerable community members, providing a safe space for healing and guidance. The church is committed to meeting both the spiritual and physical needs of the people, offering meals and a welcoming environment where everyone, especially street children and vulnerable families, can find refuge.
