Building a Future for Uganda

To make a difference in Africa we are following this principle:

Preparing effectively for the future means working to affect change across generations. 

At Heavenly Bridge Ministries, we are doing this by helping the widows and guardians in the following ways:

• Keeping them healthier with medicare 

• Providing their necessities 

• Giving them tools to use in their gardens

• Giving them animals to boost their incomes

When the widows and guardians are stabilized they become a great support to their children and community. In turn, this leads us to the second stage which is to provide and care
for the orphans, poor, and vulnerable children. By meeting the needs of children, they are healthier and able to stay in school. After elementary level we enroll them in the vocational technical institute so they are able to learn a skill. During their time at the vocational school we intentionally introduce them to ministry and teach them the importance of strong
families. This prepares them to be the bedrock of strong families, strong churches and strong communities.  

We strongly believe that this model is what is going to change Africa with a long-lasting impact.
