Throughout the year, our Kampala team runs a variety of events to support Karis families—each one designed to nurture faith, character, and community. These gatherings create space for learning, encouragement, and friendship for the carers and children.
Michael Coleman completed the 100km Thames Path Challenge in just over 22 hours, raising more than £2,000 to support Karis families linked to the Downs Benefice.
We celebrate Rev. Canon John Awodi’s faithful ministry and retirement, and warmly welcome Rev. Dr. Henry Majwala and Mrs. Sarah Dhuhimbaze to their new diocesan roles.
Celebrating some incredible projects that help Karis families build stability, grow businesses, and prepare for life beyond Karis.
Education is not a luxury — it is one of the means by which God lifts people from the pit of despair to the dignity of His image.
Hundreds joined the Karis Fete, raising over £12,000 to transform lives in Kampala. See the highlights and impact.
The Karis Christmas Party 2024 took place on 12th December attended by around 450 Karis carers, children, and church staff from all six linked churches. A good time was had by all!
201 Karis children attended. Around 40 gave their lives to Jesus. Children showed up with walls up but slowly found love, encouragement, and hope at Summer Camp.
They lack food, clean water, education, and healthcare.
These children fight to survive each day, with no hope that things will change.
