Who we are

A calling born from compassion, rooted in faith.

God First Charity Foundation began as a personal conviction — to extend a helping hand to the many elderly, orphans and homeless children across Mayuge and the wider Busoga region who lack the basic necessities of life: food, shelter, clothing and medical care.

Many of the elderly cannot afford these needs on their own. Some have children who have abandoned them. Children roam the streets without guidance. We believe every person, regardless of age or status, deserves a life of dignity.

"Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward them for what they have done." — Proverbs 19:17

Today we are a registered Community Based Organization supervised by a ministry director and board, championing the rights and interests of the most vulnerable — putting them first.

Story of hope
Elderly Care

From loneliness to a family again

After years of being forgotten by her own children, Mama Grace now has a place where she is known by name, fed daily, and visited weekly. "I thought I would die alone," she says. "Now I have a family."

A village that learned to care

What started with 10 elderly neighbours has grown into a movement — a community rediscovering what it means to look after its own.

Working together, sharing ideas, responsibilities, skills and support so that the charity can help more people, more effectively.
