When UCSS arrives in a village, hopelessness is pervasive, but with some support and hard work, we are seeing hope grow.

About UCSS

The Problem.

Many communities in Uganda lack access to basic services such as water, electricity, education,and medical care. Without these essential services, life expectancy is low and people feel hopeless and are unable to shift their circumstances.

The Mission.

To improve the quality of life and spread God's love to people in communities by providing social services, counseling, and spiritual development - one community at a time.

The Measures.

We will know we are reaching our goal when each community becomes self-sufficient to the point where outside resources are no longer necessary. People will enjoy a higher quality of life and over time will become more tolerant and caring.

Core Values.

Christ Centered - We are centered on the Character and the teachings of Christ with the intentions of modeling out the Great Commission.

Sustainable - All our initiatives and interventions are established on the basis of generation and preservation of both local and natural resources for future generations.

Community Involved - We believe in inclusive participation and collaboration as we establish innovative solutions.

Continuously Learning - We are a learning Organization, continually progressing in our service delivery in pursuit of excellence, and expanding our area of coverage.

Holistic - As a ministry, we believe that all our interventions and operations should be structured to address the social, spiritual, physical and economic aspects.

Grateful - We are focused on thankfulness and conduct ourselves with grateful hearts.

The UCSS Story

When UCSS arrived, the hopelessness was so pervasive that even children had lost their joy. There was a death every day, men overindulged in alcohol, and the closest water was miles away, too far to get the water required to farm or make bricks. More costly than the time commitment, the journey for water cost lives. Children sent to fetch water were kidnapped by witch doctors and offered as sacrifices.
