GIDCCO

About Me

GIDCCO is an independent, indigenous, NGO registration Number certificate S.5914/7195 Following a recent Internal Revenue Service tax inquiry, during which the IRS requested extensive financial information, it was determined that gidcco Ministries continues to qualify for tax exemption status. â€œWe determined that you [GIDCCO Ministries] continue to qualify as an organization exempt from Federal income tax under IRC section 501(c)(3).â€organization in Uganda with a vision to rescue, nourish, and spiritually strengthen street kids, orphaned children, and widows in need as a result of AIDS/HIV.
By sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and with the help of religious leaders, our community, and volunteers, we strive to uphold the sanctity of human life by meeting their spiritual, physical, and emotional needs through education, health care, and social welfare.
Today, much of Uganda remains undeveloped. It's populace is ravaged by civil wars, hunger and the AIDS/HIV epidemic that continues its foray into every village.
Currently, 80% of the overall population of Uganda is youth, of the 80%, 39% are orphans, and 41% are infected with HIV/AIDS. 62% of the villages that we reach out to, have the highest population level of AIDS/HIV. Through Gods word and His will, we seek to bring hope and a future to this generation of parentless children.
Our organization for community development can have a great impact on the lives of the people it serves, given proper funding.
Even though we are a private charity organization, we are registered with the Ugandan government. If you need more information on this site, or if you would like to help please contact

A Child Needs Help

$25.00 per month, the amount most families spend on a single dinner, will send one of these orphaned children to school and provide them with food, clothing and other essential needs for a month.
The children and widows of Uganda need your contributions, act now in any way possible. No amount is too small.

I'd like to meet:

The Children of GIDCCO

"Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these." Mark 10:14

We currently have a database of 464 children in our organization that need regular monthly support. One of our intended goals with the children is to identify the orphans that are in great need and require immediate action. We seek out the community for the immediate relatives that are still living; it can be an Uncle, an Aunt, a Cousin... we evaluate the situation, find out what the relatives think is best for the child before any action is taken. Together with the relative's input and taking in consideration the child's preference, we decide whether this child is able to live with the relative. Another option would be for a widow or suitable family that are willing to adopt a child. The child will re-locate to their home and they will then become the guardian and will be responsible for training/guiding the child.Many times when a parent is sick and dying from AIDS/HIV, the oldest child becomes the parent. They are no longer able to go to school and must care for the dying parent as well as work and take care of the younger siblings. This in most cases is the standard for living in Uganda.

Please Pray for Pastor Fred Mwanje and his mission to rescue the orphans and street kids of Uganda. Young and old alike find themselves with no place to sleep but the streets. This baby has a wound on her head, yet no one stops..why?? because there are so many and not enough help to rescue them all. Please prayerfully consider giving GIDCCO the means to help as many as God will allow. No child should live this way.

Many have lived in fear of the Lords Resistance Army, walking many miles in the night seeking refuge and shelter.

This video is very graphic and may be disturbing, but is a real issue in the lives of the Ugandan children. Although Jinja is not currently in the midst of this terrible atrocity, many carry the scars of witnessing as well as lving the abuse.

Your Donations mean so much to us! We are able to provide Bibles, cleaning supplies, school supplies and much more! Even more importantly is the Hope that you provide to a child or a widow. A Hope that there is a God that loves them and cares about them.
