Our Projects

We have built a Bridge in Bugangari Sub-County

The Emily Collins School

We are delighted to have begun building our own school and community centre place built on prayer, where children can grow academically, emotionally and spiritually, secure in a loving environment. It is located in the rural area of Gatovu Village in the Kisoro district, where the only schools are many miles away. School fees are continuing to escalate so we will operate as not-for-profit; it will be open to local children, whose fees will support the attendance of children in our ministry. We will use the centre to run training in family income generating activities, provide counselling and physical aid, offer kindergarten care and treatment for abandoned infants and a day care psychosocial support for street children.

The initial passion behind Our Father’s House Ministries was set ablaze from a little flame into a wild fire by one young English lady, Emily Collins, whom the Director met on a trip to Uganda. Emily’s advocacy and love has led to the sponsorship of many children and subsequent growth of our work. Emily is very sadly no longer with us but her love to serve humanity was never drowned and she lives on in our community. We have dedicated this child ministry centre to Emily where her influence lives on.

We thank you for your Donations towards this project

We make African crafts to uplift our families and all these are handmade.

We give goats and pigs to those we serve. A careful study has shown that these animals have long term self-sustaining effects, improving a family’s financial security and access to nutritive food.

Since these animals produce offspring, we encourage recipients of the piglets and goats to give offspring to another family in need and the family that receives it is expected to observe the same process in a cycle of giving.

Goat and pig manure fertilises gardens providing other essential nutrients; plants grown to feed the goats also reduce soil erosion and help improve small farm production.

• Bought and given wheelchairs to two disabled individuals – one to a girl called Bobby who was born disabled and was sadly abandoned by her parents.
• Helped 2 people who had mental illness and tied in chains for many years; Aphia (24) had been tied in shackles for 12 years, Reagan was tied up with rope for 6 years. They are now free and healed in Jesus name. We thank Kisiizi mental Hospital for the good work they did.

Aphia (age 24) had been tied up in shackles for over a decade because she was mentally ill. She had been raped at the age of 12 by a gang of men, which infected her with AIDS and she became pregnant giving birth to an HIV positive girl. We rescued Aphia from her chains, taking her to a mental hospital where she received counselling and is now healed in Jesus name. Aphia now makes baskets for a living and we sponsor her little girl.
