Over 8 million Ugandan shillings were raised during a fundraising event organized by the Kamuganguzi Child Development Centre (CDC) to complete the construction of Faith Guest House. This project is intended to support compassion-related activities after the current initiative ends.
For 32 years, Compassion International has played a pivotal role at Kamuganguzi CDC, benefitting over 400 alumni and currently aiding more than 300 children. The Faith Guest House project is part of a strategic effort to ensure ongoing support for these vulnerable children, even after Compassion International’s involvement ends.
Alice Akampurira, Project Director of Kamuganguzi CDC, highlighted the significance of the Guest House in sustaining the center’s mission. “This project represents a crucial step in extending the support we offer to children and families beyond the current initiative,” she said.
Canon Jacques Masiko, former head of Compassion in East Africa, emphasized the need for sustainability in such initiatives. “It’s essential to ensure that the programs benefiting so many continue effectively,” Masiko said. “The spirit of compassion should be in everyone’s heart, transcending financial status.”
Dennis Nzeirwe, former Deputy Resident District Commissioner for Kabale, who also attended the event, urged Compassion beneficiaries to embody discipline and serve as role models. “Your actions and commitment can inspire and encourage those who support you,” Nzeirwe remarked.
The successful fundraising effort marks a significant milestone in Kamuganguzi CDC’s ongoing mission to provide lasting support and resources for children in need.
