Kuyamba Ministries has been working hard in Uganda during this season, by helping those in need with food. We are thankful for all those who have given. Several months ago, we started planning for a medical mission trip, and have doctors and nurses ready to go with us. There are a lot of costs related to the medical supplies we will need. With things opening up, we are excited to announce a benefit concert. coming up later this summer.

Kuyamba Ministries is bringing two top Christian bands called I Am They and Stars Go Dim to Bethel University on August 28, 2020 at 7:30 p.m. We will also be introducing a family trio called Girl Named Tom that will be opening the show for us. This event will be a family fun night with over two and a half hours of music and worship. A special offering will be taken during the concert for food that will feed the villages that we visit. Please find the link below for ticket information. Both VIP and General Admission tickets are available. If you would like to hear a couple of their top songs see links below. Hope to see you there!

We shared with you early this year the progress of the latrine on our land in Wabukwa.  We are happy to show you the finished product here!  The first building to stand on our land!  

Kuyamba has been at work in Pastor Miracle's village this year.  In February, work began on a latrine near where the villagers met for church so that they can resume services there.  Right now it is at a standstill because of the coronavirus situation.  As soon as the team is able to travel there, they will be back in the village to finish the work.  

During the virus, Kuyamba was also able to provide the village with food. 

​More to come soon!   

The first part of 2020 has been devastating to so many people in Uganda.  One of the villages we serve is called Katogo.  This village is in a low land and when the rains come in, it can flood.  This Spring, the flood waters came in and have stayed for weeks.  This all happened while Uganda was also on lock-down due to the coronavirus.  The combination of these two problems has made access to food nearly impossible.  Kuyamba has been able to help with three food drops in Katogo over the past three months.  Our team rented boats to deliver food to the village.  Take a look at our team in action. 

Our November 2019 was such a blessing!  We were able to see progress on our land, spend time with our Ugandan family, and most importantly, serve in four very special villages.  In each of the villages we served, we took hygiene and first aid supplies, shoes and clothing.  We also shared a meal with each village.  

We were excited to partner with FTC Team 16501 Squirrel from GEARS in Granger, Indiana who provided a LEGO Boost Kit.  The team also readied and organized laptops and tablets that we also delivered to our ministry team in Uganda. 

The first thing we were required to build on the land before any other work could be done was a latrine.  This needed to be established before we could hold any gatherings on the land with community members, or start our community center building project.  Thanks to our generous donors on Facebook's Giving Tuesday, we raised the money we needed for this first step.  In terms of latrines, I think this one is looking very nice!  :)

While we were in Uganda in November, we got to witness some progress happening on our land in Wabukwa. Our two acres were cleared and leveled to prepare for eventual building.  It took three days and one big tractor to level this land.  Check it out!

Kuyamba Ministries brings the African Children's Choir to South Bend on August 14, 2019.
This FREE concert will be held at the Bendix Theatre at the Century Center located at 120 Dr. Martin Luther King Drive, in South Bend at 7:00 p.m.  Doors will open at 6:00.  

Kuyamba is asking for you to bring a donation of mission supply items for our next trip.  These items include small tubes of toothpaste, toothbrushes, first aid cream, orajel, cortisone cream, flip flops and washcloths.   Come join us for a special night with the kids of Uganda!   

Kuyamba is excited to announce that we've officially received our NGO status in Uganda.  An NGO in Uganda is a Non-Governmental Organization that is established through the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Uganda.  This is an important and necessary certification for a ministry to have to have credibility with the Ugandan government.  This will be a great help to Kuyamba as we break ground on our Kuyamba Community Center this next year in Uganda. 

Our land in Wabukwa was also officially surveyed and titled in Kuyamba Ministries name as well.  We are excited about the future!    

The village of Namutumba gives Kuyamba a warm welcome!
