Mission charities
As part of the church’s mission it supports two ongoing international projects, namely the International Justice Mission and the White Eagle project of Uganda River of Life Ministries, the latter of which one of our members is a trustee. In addition, on an annual basis we endeavour to support a national or local charity. Money for donations is raised through fund raising events and individual gifts.
As soon as Covid regulations permit we fully intend to resume our fund raising
White Eagle project
On Boxing day 1999, Duncan and Mary
Kibaya, founders of River of Life church in Masaka, Uganda took in 21 boys
from the streets of Nyendo, an extremely poor trading area of Masaka. In 2005
the work of the White Eagle project was extended to care for girls. The project
helps children who are particularly vulnerable because they are orphans, former street children, or in
abusive and/or acutely impoverished situations.
Where
possible, they now help children through the White Eagle Family
support initiative that helps families
care for and educate their children. Alternatively they offer family life
through their boys and girls homes. In addition to receiving good education, children are equipped and trained in all
areas of life so that they are empowered to reach their full potential.
