Promise International Children’s Development Centre:  Home to Gateway Mercy Ministries

Historically, PI has responded to the most immediate needs at each of the four locations, providing food, shelter, clothing, and educational supplies when necessary.  However, with the educational gap presenting the most defining obstacle for self-sustainability and success, PI is embarking on an ambitious and challenging capital project to construct proper facilities for the future of these children.  The Promise International Children’s Development Centre, will not only allow the relocation of the children at the Gateway Mercy Ministries facility (located in a mosquito-infested swamp outside of Kampala), but will also serve as the model facility for future ventures.

PI has secured–title free and clear–1.5 acres of land (see attachment B) and is working to purchase 1-2 more adjacent acres.  Located approximately 2 miles west of Lake Victoria, the Centre will include dormitory housing, central school, community facility,

a covered dining patio, an administrative building, and outdoor spaces for playground and vocational needs, all fenced for protection of the children.

Construction of this new facility will be overseen by our on-ground representative, Peter Mukasa-Magoye, and our Building Committee, chaired by Dr. Beverly Herring.  The Building Committee provides the expertise and oversight for managing the construction, expansion, and maintenance of the homes and dormitories within the organization.
