Welcome from the Executive Director

I wish to extend my sincere gratitude and appreciation to all the stakeholders who have guided us and given us a helping hand in achieving our goals. Among our major projects is Divine Mercy School and as you will see from the progress report below we are making great strides in this area due largely to the financial and moral support of friends from Europe, USA and New Zealand.

I also wish to thank my board for their innovation and for working tirelessly to reach our intended objectives and to recognise our local partners; Red Cross Uganda and The Real Uganda for facilitating our programs especially at the grass roots level.


My appreciation also goes to the academic committee of Divine Mercy headed by Mr Matende Geoffrey and Mr Alicwam Joseph for the tremendous job they do.

Let us together as one celebrate our past achievements and look forward to consolidating an even more positive future.

Update for Divine Mercy School Building Project


With the start of a new month comes the steps we have made toward creating an environment conducive to learning at Divine Mercy School. The school term begins on February 4th and the workers are just about to finish their jobs, the students shall return a newly renovated school. We have also just received books from a project called BUGS (Books in Ugandan Schools) advocating and providing materials to begin a small library at the Divine Mercy Day and Boarding School.

Another project headed by former volunteers strives to provide the students with access to medical treatment at our clinic when they fall ill, all of the above projects were generously financed by former volunteers Tim and Kris of New Zealand. To top it all off, the students have been provided with beds and mattresses, donated by former volunteer Richard of the UK, which gives the boarders somewhere comfortable to sleep. We would finally like to extend a thank you to Barbara, who has sponsored the primary education of two of our students, Nicholas and Kate. To all of our volunteers who have contributed to the development of Divine Mercy Day and Boarding School, Sandi,Carolyn, James, and Amy, thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
