Overview

Mission

Kkumi project is committed to transforming the lives of boys and their families in uganda. Through a child-centered and family-focused approach, by providing education, economic empowerment, and discipleship alongside a local church, we aspire to empower families to embrace their god-given responsibilities and build a future filled with love, dignity, and purpose.

What it reported doing in 2024

Discipleship at the kkumi project, our approach to the discipleship pillar is about nurturing christ-centered leaders. We recognize that genuine transformation involves more than practical skills; it's about shaping character and building a foundation of faith that guides every aspect of life. Our approach to discipleship is rooted in the belief that through christ, boys can become leaders of unwavering character who embody empathy, integrity, and a dedication to positive change. Our discipleship approach goes beyond the individual boys; it reaches out to embrace their families as well. We understand that the journey of faith and growth is interconnected, encompassing both the boys and their guardians. Through this pillar, we aim to create a space for spiritual growth and authentic relationship-building for kkumi project families as well. Through this pillar, we hope to build a foundation of faith that focuses on equipping the boys and their families with the tools to embrace a faith that is alive, actionable, and transformative.
