About the Cause

Impact Uganda is a International Teams Canada partnership between Canadians and Ugandans rallied around the work of Embrace Uganda, a local community-based organization, that provides holistic development and education to vulnerable individuals in Kitigoma, Uganda. This is completed directly through Kitigoma Community Church and God’s Gift School. Kitigoma Community Church provides support to the surrounding community through medical clinics, outreach activities and a place to worship together. God’s Gift School provides quality education and nutritious meals to over 360 children from kindergarten through the end of elementary school. Under the leadership of Pastor Robert Mukalazi, Justine Mukalazi and Shadrach Wanjala, this church and school are transforming the community of Kitigoma into a place characterized by dignity, justice, peace and hope.
