Greetings and Blessings to you all people of God.
As the National Director of Caritas Uganda, it is my utmost pleasure to extend a warm welcome to all visitors, supporters, and partners to our website. Here, you will discover the transformative work we are engaged in, striving to create a more just and compassionate society.
Caritas Uganda is part of a global network of Caritas organizations of the Catholic Church, inspired by Sacred Scripture, Church tradition, and the principles of Catholic social teaching, and driven by our unwavering commitment to serving the most vulnerable (fundamental option for the poor). With a rich history and experience of over 50 years of serving humanity, we have been at the forefront of addressing pressing social issues, promoting human dignity, and empowering communities across the nation leaving no one behind. In a nutshell, Caritas’ work rotates around three pillars namely Saving lives, Reducing risks and Building communities.
Based on the vision, “…that they may have life and have it to its fullness” (Jn. 10:10), at Caritas Uganda, we believe in a holistic approach to development, one that encompasses the physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being of individuals and communities. Our programs span a wide range of sectors, including education, healthcare, livelihoods, emergency response, care for mother earth, charity to people with special needs, building capacity in governance, and research and advocacy. Through these initiatives, we aim to alleviate poverty, promote sustainable development, and foster a culture of peace and solidarity.
We are proud of our professional and dedicated team of staff and volunteers who work tirelessly to make a positive impact in the lives of those in need. Their passion, compassion, and expertise are the driving force behind our success. Together, we strive to build bridges of hope, put a smile on the faces of those suffering in different ways, promote social justice, and empower marginalized individuals and groups to become agents of change within their own communities.
Our website serves as a gateway to explore the various projects and initiatives we undertake, highlighting the stories of transformation and resilience that inspire us every day. It is also a platform where you can learn about ways to get involved, whether through volunteering, making a donation, or becoming an advocate for social justice.
I invite you to browse through our website, delve into the stories that showcase the impact of our work, and discover the myriad ways in which you can join hands with us to make a difference. Together, we can create a more equitable and compassionate Uganda, where every person is given the opportunity to thrive and fulfill their potential.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We look forward to embarking on this journey of hope with you. Warm regards,
Rev. Fr. Hilary Muheezangango
National Director, Caritas Uganda
