Organizational Structure -- OWENDO is comprised of the General Assembly, at the top, followed by the Board of Directors, Team Leader /Country Director, and the team that work together and volunteers. Funding Sources --- Members’ contributions currently constitute the bigger part of funding for most project implementation; some fund contribution from a well-wisher was given in support of the water project. This has consequently created a funding gap because the funds raised are not sufficient to enable the organization to satisfactorily deliver on its mandate. Where We Work -- OWENDO operates in the District of Mayuge situated in Eastern Uganda. The Organization’s programmes and projects have so far covered the villages and parishes that form up Waitambogwe sub country in Mayuge District. Contact Address P.O. Box 923, Jinja, Uganda.

You can support at all levels

2010-11-13T06:14:00.000-08:00

Supporting communities for the needy people through all available means… you can participate in any field… you can support a child with scholastic materials, or a widow or family to start up a small business for income generation. With just only $5 or $10 or $15 or $20 or $25 or any amount as you get convicted in your heart, you can sponsor an orphan or a needy child. Most children are dropping out of school because they have no books, no pen to use, can not buy a school uniform… Farmers learn in group. Be part of the participatory learning through problem finding and solving. Most rural people have got limited land, so with the repeatedly use of their small land with out resting it. It loses fertility power, which cause low yields and hence low income and continuous food shortage.

"In blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the Heaven and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice." Genesis 22:17-18I have been on the wait to see God's words come to pass in both my life and the lives of others... I know you may be wondering how God is going to multiply your; possessions, your finances, your friends and many other aspects of life.I have seen how people in the rural communities down here have praised God day by day for all the helping hands that have been stretched to support them. One thing I have learnt, every body CAN play a role part in cause of a good change into some ones life. God bless you all for the tireless support, prayers and encouragements towards a gracious change. Your visit to this site alone has been noted, Yes! and God will count it a blessing too. Thank you for the time, keep visiting.Blessings.
