Build a Sacred Relationship
Love God and neighbor as yourself
Our foundation starts with the call to “love God with one’s whole heart and one’s neighbor as oneself.” (Matt. 22:37-40). We are a small, growing Catholic team in Uganda, still early in our journey.
OKWAGALA means God's Love
Join our OKWAGALA family. Your gift – any amount – helps a child, elderly person, seminarian, or nun in Uganda. No fixed fees, just open hearts.

Supporting communities through OKWAGALA
We are a small, young Catholic foundation in Uganda, just getting started. Your support – any amount – helps us reach children, elderly, seminarians, and nuns who urgently need education, meals, and care.
Child sponsorship & healthcare
Your gift – any amount – helps a child stay in school, get medical care, and receive daily meals. No fixed monthly commitment, just genuine love.
Catholic education for all
We pay school fees, buy uniforms and supplies for children who would otherwise drop out. Every contribution – large or small – keeps a child in the classroom.
Nutritious meals for children
Many children in Uganda go to bed hungry. Your gift – no matter the size – provides daily meals to sponsored children so they can grow, learn, and thrive.
