Jinja & Kayunga, Uganda
Mizizi walks alongside women and families in rural Uganda with relationship, mentorship, and the tools to build a life of their own making.
Swahili for roots — the name reflects our belief that transformed people, firmly rooted, transform their communities.
Our Mission
We believe lasting change doesn't come from a single gift or program — it comes from being fully known and fully loved. Mizizi creates space for that: long-term mentorship, practical skills, and a community that walks alongside families rather than in front of them.
As physical and emotional needs are met, the daily fight for survival gives way to healing — and families gain the footing to build a future of their own choosing.
Three Houses, One Root System
Long-term relationships that help members rediscover identity, purpose, and the confidence to lead their own lives.
Practical, income-generating skills that open a path beyond day-to-day survival toward lasting self-sufficiency.
Meeting physical needs first, so families have the time and stability to grow roots that hold through hard seasons.
Full stories, ways to give, and updates from Jinja and Kayunga are coming soon. In the meantime, reach out directly — we'd love to hear from you.
