Organization background
Founded from compassion during a difficult season
Good Samaritan's Yesu Akwagala Initiative Ltd began in 2021 after COVID-19, in Mutongo, Ndejje Division, Makindye Ssabagabo, Uganda. We saw many children suffering from hunger, school fees challenges, domestic violence, and lack of support. What started with a small group of children has grown into a cross-border effort serving vulnerable children and youths in Busia, Uganda and Busia, Kenya.
