Be A Christ To The Poor

Help Us Plant Trees

by

For the last 6 years, Fr. Anatoli Kirigwajjo has been trying to educate in Bubango Catholic Mission in Bujuni parish, Hoima Diocese in Uganda, of the importance of the environment. With contributions from Fr. George Ssebadduka, he has planted some 6 acres of Eucalyptus trees.

He is asking anyone who cares about the environment to come to our aid. Our goal is some 15 acres of trees in about 5 years. Most people in the area have no electricity and tree cutting for firewood has left the place with little forest cover. This has resulted in irregular rain fall and higher temperatures. Come and be our partner.

Supporting Orphans and the Poor at St. Kirigwajjo SSS

by

The Foundation has been contacted by Fr. Anatoli Kirigwajjo, administrator at the same school, asking for financial support for about 10 students, who are unable to afford tuition and lodging. He started a piglets’ project, with the help of Fr. George Ssebadduka, to help them earn some money, while taking care of the pigs.

The project, however, is small and lacks the necessary infrastructure to support these students. Fr. Anatoli is willing to provide information on these students to whomever is interested in supporting us. For further information contact, Fr. George Ssebadduka at 805 NW RD MIZE Road, Blue Springs, MO or call him at 816-308-5699.

We are reorganizing our Ugandan Operations

by

Since 2011, Be A Christ to the Poor Foundation has not had a director in Uganda. We are assessing our various projects, including the piglets’ project and hoping to name a new director at some point. We are grateful to Fr. Anthony Bingi, pastor of St. John the Baptist parish in Bulindi, Hoima Diocese, for his services. As of now, the foundation has no more ties with him. Any questions or contributions to the foundation should be directed to Fr. George Ssebadduak, President Be a Christ to the Poor Inc. at 805 NW RD MIZE Road, Blue Springs, MO 64015 or Call him at 816-308-5699.

Foundation has New Address
As of June 12, 2017, Be A Christ to the Poor Inc. has a new address. We now operate from 805 NW RD MIZE Road in Blue Springs MO 64015. This our new contact address for all information and contributions.

St. Bruno becomes a Parish

by

It has been a while since we started construction of St. Bruno church and most recently, the priests’ house. Finally however, all those efforts have paid off as St. Bruno Mission church. Was on December 3, 2017, elevated to the newest Catholic parish in Hoima Diocese, Uganda.

We are grateful to all our friends, who over the years, have supported us and prayed for us. May the good Lord bless you all. In a series of photos, we see the bishop, Rt. Rev. Vincent Kirabo, blessing the church’s altar, the priests at Mass, the huge crowd, that showed up for the launching of the parish.

Who are the rural poor of Uganda?

More than two thirds of the country’s poor people are small farmers. They are scattered all over the country. They make up approximately 80% of the population. Although efforts have been made to reduce rural poverty, urban areas have experienced a significantly greater reduction in poverty than the countryside. In the past decade, poverty has declined by a rate of 30% in urban areas but of only 10% in rural areas. … Learn More
