Hope Starts with a Meal

In partnership with One Mission Ministries

Uganda

The ministry began with a simple vision—28 street children, a soccer ball, and rice and beans. Within a short time, the program grew to 50 children as word spread about the consistent care and nourishment being provided.

The program partners with One Mission Ministries, led by Pastor Peter in Kampala, Uganda. This faith-based organization reaches street children and vulnerable youth in Kampala’s slums through Gospel outreach, relationship building, and practical care, with meals served after each program session. Combining feeding programs with special community projects to create lasting change.

Kampala Update

Street Connect Ministry Report – May 2026

Thank you for your continued support. In May, 2,654 young people were fed through our Street Connect Program across three outreach locations. Through meals, discipleship, and mentorship, we continue to see lives transformed.

Notable highlights include Jim returning to school after seven years away, Derrick K. purchasing a bicycle through lessons in stewardship, and Vincent growing into a strong young leader within our Katwe outreach. We are encouraged by the boys’ increased love for church and improved behavior, with a noticeable reduction in conflicts.

One ongoing challenge is the frequent arrest and detention of some boys from the Katwe community, which disrupts consistent follow-up. We appreciate your prayers in this area.

Thank you again for your partnership in bringing hope and transformation.

Blessings,

Street Connect Team
