All positive clients were counseled, established with a medical doctor, entered into our referral system and assisted with filling out / filing government paperwork. Again, this event was hosted by our partner and sister church, MCC Toronto located in Canada. We are so blessed for their continued support. The next and final VCT / HIV Testing Day will be held in October.










MCC Kampala Voluntary Counseling and HIV Testing Day January 12th, 2023
On this date we were able to offer to our church and community children free VCT HIV tests. Thirty-eight children were tests, all with negative outcomes. Because of torrid rains, many families were not able to bring their children. This event was hosted by our partner and sister church, MCC Toronto located in Canada. We are so grateful for the support and love from MCC Toronto.

MCC Kampala Community Outreach Local Food Pantry June 2021
In June the second / third wave of the Covid19 virus, along with the multiple variants associated with the virus, forced a full lock-down of the country of Uganda. MCC Kampala is a small grassroots church / medical clinic located in the heart of Kampala. Under the direction of Chaplain Denis Iraguha a team was created to help our local church members and community with bi-weekly Free Food Pantry. Started in June and continuing as of this posted today, an average of forty-five (45) families (over 200 adults and children benefit). each family is given food including posha flour, sugar, salt, beans, rice, and soap. It is our desire to continue this outreach for as long as the lock-down is in place and our limited funds allow. We are grateful that our God is in control with guidance and gratitude.
