Visit God Cares Schools

Take a Short-Term Mission Trip to Uganda

Mission Team Travel Information:
Buyamba welcomes all teams who are interested in serving on a short-term missions visit to God Cares Primary and Secondary Schools. You can take the next step of involvement in this ministry by joining us to serve the orphans and needy children at God Cares in Kampala, Uganda.

The Dongo family looks forward to hosting any team that wants to travel to Uganda. They appreciate your generous help and labor of love and would like to assure you of Uganda’s government stability. However, travel to Africa does require some preparation. Our U.S. office offers full support in answering the myriads of questions that teams have when considering a mission to Uganda; from questions on travel information and immunizations to food and lodging and many other pertinent bits of information. Contact our office today to find out more information.

The Buyamba office can also discuss in-person team briefings, when possible, or one of our representatives can do so via telephone conference. For your convenience, we have compiled a "Mission Team Travel Information" handout in a .pdf format, which covers detailed information, tips and FAQ’s to assist team leaders in preparing your teams for travel and as you answer God’s call to His Great Commission.

When You Arrive

Ezra Dongo will be your guide once you arrive in Uganda.

In this video, Ezra explains some key elements to remember while visiting Uganda including bringing your sponsored child a gift, as well as "home visits" to students' homes and accepting food or drink from Ugandans in general.
