Buyamba, when translated in English, simply means "HELP". WHO WE ARE: Buyamba, a non-profit 501(c)3 corporation, was founded in the U.S. in 1999, to support the Dongos’ efforts with Buyamba Orphan Outreach in Uganda. Buyamba supported them through a child sponsorship program and provision of needed resources. As a result, God Cares Nursery and Primary School opened in 2002 with 97 children, in the basement of the church where Pastor Dongo continues to serve as senior pastor. Currently, Buyamba financially supports the education and care of over 1500 children through our sponsorship programs. OUR VISION: Buyamba's vision is to empower the orphaned and needy children of Uganda to impact their nation for Christ. OUR MISSION: Our mission is to offer love, hope and a future through education and discipleship...one child at a time. OUR STORY: Through the faithfulness and generosity of our sponsors and benefactors throughout the U.S, and the tireless efforts of our team of volunteers, Buyamba currently sponsors the care and education of 1500 orphans and needy children in Uganda. We are now dreaming of the day when God provides for the full construction and completion of a third God Cares school building to meet the needs of children in Jinja and for the Buyamba Children’s Village; a community of homes that would place our orphans in a family setting. We have been blessed to see the Lord grow this ministry and fulfill the initial vision He set in the hearts of Bethuel and Florence Dongo. We, at Buyamba continue to dream and look to the future as to how we can further the work to which we have been called as we impact the lives of Uganda’s children. In conjunction with our vision, we long to see the children of Uganda rise to meet the needs of their generation, empowered by the tools of education and rooted in faith; they will impact Uganda.
