(a) Land for homes and offices
JMCM has been renting in different areas of the country since its establishment in 2000. This is to meet the needs of the vulnerable children. We rent houses for offices and drop-in centres that act as temporary homes to accommodate homeless children that JMCM supports.
As of 2023, JMCM owns a 1 acre piece of land in Mpigi, Kampala. At this stage, it’s a vacant block. On this land, as funding allows, JMCM will build: administration offices, class rooms, a main hall, library, staff room, dining hall, washrooms, and play room.
There will also be a home for children who have no home, as well as a guest house, and a medical centre facility.
JMCM will provide bible study classes, recreation, education, medical, theatre (music, dance, and drama), play area with books, social, medical and psychological assistance, tutoring, IT skills, and sports for vulnerable and refugee children.
We are looking at acquiring land in the five districts we are operating in namely Wakiso, Kampala, Tororo, Fort Portal and Busia districts in Uganda.

(d) The Children are acquiring knowledge and skills in farming
Most households where JMCM works have a very low or no income. Agriculture and livestock can provide food security, income enhancement and employment, even for small scale farmers. Though there’s opportunity for farming, most households do not consider smallholder framing feasible due to its challenges.
As reflected in our Strategic Plan 2021-2026, JMCM will be working with 50 targeted households to a) Improve food production and productivity for nutrition including ensuring year-round access to sufficient food, b) Improve household income by 10% through selected agricultural enterprises and savings groups, c) Improve households’ ability to prepare for community and natural disasters.
