Ach
ievements
- The Diocese has 11 years of ministry and have achieved a lot. We hope to continue to achieve some steady growth God being our helper.
- We have started on the Construction of Mothers’ Union Residential Hostels and it needs a lot of money to be completed.
- We have also Started on the Mission Hospital Construction, starting with a Health Center III which will be upgraded later.
- We have started on Human resource development some of our clergy and Christians are being supported to acquire some level of Education.
- We have started the Diocesan SACCO for both Clergy and Christians to help them save and borrow at a minimum interest rate.
Challenges
- Construction – there is a need for money to accomplish the construction process of both projects.
- The Diocese is depending entirely on Christian giving and this is not viable because the Christians have low income that cannot meet their demands and of the Church.
- We do not have income generating projects.
- Human resource is still a problem, a good number of our Church workers have a nominal training that is about to be challenged by technology.
Plans
- Developing the plots we have in Ntungamo town.
- Tree planting all over the Diocese
- Health units and Diocesan Hospital
- Coffee planting in every Parish as a source of income.
