Fundraising Dinner
Thursday 6 June 2024 - Victoria Park Ballroom, Herston

Whether you are a sponsor, friend or interested to find out more, we would love for you to join us for this special night.
Buy a table and invite your family, friends and colleagues, or purchase a seat and we'll place you on a table. The night will include raffles, prizes and a silent auction. All ticket sales and donations to Impact Uganda Foundation are tax deductible.
Child Sponsorship
Education is a key issue in alleviating poverty, so child sponsorship that provides the simple opportunity for education that we take for granted is a high priority.
Lives are changed for as little as
$45/month or $540/year (less than $1.50/day) for Primary education, or
$90/month or $1080/year (less than $3/day) for Secondary education
Take up the challenge and make an irreplaceable difference to a child’s life!
Here are some of the children currently awaiting sponsorship - click the photos to read a little of their stories:
Most of the urgent children have now been sponsored - thank you! There are more still seeking sponsorship to be in school in 2024, we will update here soon. In the meantime, please email us at impact@ec.org.au.

Impact Uganda Experiences
Catch a glimpse of an Impact Experience as some of those who went on mission in July 2019 share at our July Home Night.
“Persons always live in relationship. We come from others, we belong to others, and our lives are enlarged by our encounter with others.” Pope Francis – The Light of Faith, 38
From time to time we offer Impact Uganda Experiences. The main goal for the Impact Experience is to ‘enlarge your encounters with others’ by walking in solidarity with the Holy Trinity Community in Masaka and deepening relationships. It is not a service project as such but you will definitely give of your time, labour, knowledge and share your faith with amazing people.
Immersion is an important value in understanding and embracing this experience. Immersion involves living, however briefly, as the people in Uganda live, eating what they eat and accompanying them in their struggles and joys. The greatest challenge is not simply to give, but also to humbly receive, to be willing to stand back and listen and learn from our hosts. Your greatest role is to simply share your compassion and to share yourself. You will learn from our local brothers and sisters what faith means to them, how their programs develop and improve their community, and about the local culture while taking in the sights, sounds and foods of Uganda. Realistically, we may not be able to achieve a lot during our short stay, but you should be able to get involved with some projects that will contribute to the experience.
Below are some of the various projects:
Building at the new School
Digging in the gardens
Kitchen duties
Cooking Ugandan style
Feeding chickens & farm animals
Visiting and praying with the sick
Meeting with the various sharing groups
Experience a NET Uganda youth retreat
Meeting the sponsored children
Sharing your experiences/faith with the community
Email us today to express interest in joining us for our next Immersion Experience - impact@ec.org.au
