Adopt a Nun
Adopt a nun in Uganda
Religious sisters in Uganda run schools, clinics, and orphanages. Many need further training to serve better. OKWAGALA helps sponsors “adopt a nun” by funding her professional education.
Your gift of any amount goes into our account, then to the congregation or school. The sister receives training in teaching, nursing, social work, or other skills.
Program benefits for nuns
Your support provides tuition, books, supplies, living expenses, and transport. One educated sister serves thousands during her lifetime – a true gift that keeps giving.
Ugandan sisters will pray for you every day. They train for schools, hospitals, social work, or business – all funded by sponsors like you.
Three adoption options
Choose what works for you – any amount is welcome.
Adopt your own sister
Sponsor a nun individually by covering her full needs.
Co‑adopt
Ask up to 3 family members or friends to share the sponsorship.
Partial sponsorship
Give any amount – we will match you with other sponsors to complete the full cost.
The gift that keeps on giving
Your support educates a sister who will then serve thousands – a lasting impact for the Church in Uganda.
