Balaza Ministries is a Christian non-profit organisation committed to serving children orphaned or affected by conflict in Sambwe, Luweero. Founded on the principles of faith, compassion, and integrity, our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing environment where children can heal, grow, and discover hope for the future.


We are more than an organisation. We are a family. Our team of dedicated staff, caregivers, volunteers, and partners work tirelessly to ensure that every child experiences love, stability, and opportunity. From the moment a child enters our care, we focus on holistic development, addressing their physical, emotional, educational, and spiritual needs.

Our Mission

To demonstrate the love of Christ by caring for vulnerable children, empowering them through education and mentorship, and helping them become responsible, faith-filled individuals who positively impact their communities.
