Mission Statement
Children of Grace demonstrates the love of Jesus Christ by offering hope to Ugandan orphans and vulnerable children affected by poverty or AIDS through education, healthcare, and empowerment programs to equip them to reach their full potential.
About This Cause
Our goal is to identify needy children in Uganda who likely will not have the opportunity to attend and finish primary school. We then enable their positive development by: ensuring the children get an education; monitor their health and teach them on how to develop and maintain a healthy lifestyle; and provide empowerment programs that will equip them to become leaders in their community and nation to break the chains of poverty that today impacts their person, family, and society. We do this by enrolling them in the best available schools in their neighborhood and paying school fees and related expenses. We assign each student to a mentor who visits them at home and at school to monitor their progress and assist with any problems. Our staff nurse conducts annual health assessments and provides medical/ dental care as needed. Our staff helps with the child’s personal Christian development through a variety of Christ-centered programs which include: Holiday Bible School for elementary students and Bible-focused life skills and character development courses for secondary students. One-week camps are held twice each year for selected age groups using the IGNITE (Lead Like Jesus curriculum); career guidance as they prepare for graduation from our programs and daily coaching and mentoring throughout the time they are part of our educational programs. Nearly all of our students complete the equivalent of a US high school education.Those who are strong academic performers, score well on National Leaving Exams and demonstrate leadership potential are assisted in pursuing higher education scholarships and our mentors help them through the application process. The results have been exceptional with 5 Doctors graduated from Uganda Medical Schools, 8 students earning full pay STEM scholarships to US Universities resulting in Masters Degrees awarded from Stanford in Materials Science, ASU in Chemical Engineering, and the Thunderbird School of Global Business. This year a COG graduate was Admitted into the prestigious Schwarzman Scholars Class of 2024.
