Mission
St. Ameria is more than just a home—it is a lifeline for over 40 orphans and children rescued from the streets of Jinja, Uganda. Additionally, the St. Ameria K-7 school provides education to over 300 low-income children, giving them opportunities that would otherwise be out of reach. The mission of St. Ameria is to rescue, restore, and educate vulnerable children, empowering them for a brighter future.
Programs and Activities
- Children’s Home: Providing food, shelter, and a loving environment for orphans and abandoned children. Recent efforts have included rescuing malnourished and abandoned children in dire situations.
- Education Support: Ensuring that students receive school uniforms, scholastic materials, and meals to aid in their learning.
- Community Outreach: Sensitizing local communities on girl child education, child neglect, and HIV/AIDS awareness to help break cycles of poverty and vulnerability.
- Facility Development: Continuous renovations and improvements, such as constructing sanitary facilities and maintaining secure housing for children.
Community Impact
St. Ameria serves children who have lost parents to HIV/AIDS, poverty, and abandonment. Many have been rescued from severe neglect—such as Shadrack, a 4-year-old boy left in the care of a neglectful, alcoholic guardian. Thanks to St. Ameria’s intervention, he now has a safe home and a future.
Support and Sustainability
Despite the impact, St. Ameria faces ongoing challenges, including:
- Limited resources preventing them from helping more vulnerable children.
- The high cost of food and school materials.
- Urgent roof repairs needed for existing buildings.
- The growing number of orphans due to the HIV/AIDS crisis.
