Our Story

About Called to Love Uganda

Since 2021, we have been working alongside Pastor Charles Kasaija, and these incredible people to turn dreams into realities. In just a few short years, we have built seven churches, twelve community gardens, three fish ponds, and a thriving sewing outreach that empowers women to create, contribute, and provide for their families. Each project is a beacon of God's love in Fort Portal, and every success fuels our passion to do more. The journey is not finished. Our hearts are set on even greater transformation. We envision orphanages, schools, medical clinics, and more churches. We are dreaming of a time when every person in this region knows they are cherished by their Creator, when the economic struggles that weigh down so many families are eased by opportunities and new pathways forward.

Our Mission

We provide basic life essentials with Christ centered spiritual guidance while fostering personal growth and lasting hope for a brighter future in Western Uganda. Focused on spreading the gospel and making disciples while helping them become healthier and self sustainable.

Our Vision

We walk along beside Pastor Charles Kasaija with Renewal Evangelical Ministries in Western Uganda by spreading the gospel with economic empowerment respecting their culture and keeping them indigenous.
