Bridges of Grace is a Minnesota based registered 501 c nonprofit that serves to provide mentoring, schooling, and housing support for street Kids in Kampala Uganda. We do this through our local partner the Sendi Ian Foundation that has been serving the people of Kampala, Uganda and its surrounding communities since 2007. At Bridges of Grace, we seek to live and act compassionately in the world following Christ’s own life and ministry. We seek to be incarnations of the same gospel that Christ lived and preached and to be witnesses to the same love and compassion God has for our world.
We believe that every follower of Jesus is called to compassion in their community. Since the earliest days of the church, Christians have been involved in ministry towards the marginalized all over the world, and we would like to continue affirming that need for the church to embrace those who have been ignored by society at all levels.
About The Sendi Ian Foundation
The Sendi Ian Foundation is a family made of people from all over the country who are working together to ensure that the forgotten have a place to belong.
In 2007, we started a local soccer academy in Kampala, Uganda to give hope and life to the City. Since then, we’ve reached orphans, street children, and other disadvantaged kids giving them a home where their physical needs such as shelter, clothing, feeding, and health care can be met. We’ve also come alongside vulnerable women and young adults, equipping them with skills and empowering them to be the mothers and leaders God has called them to be.
Our prayer is that we give each one of these a chance at a better future—a future full of hope.
The challenges facing our communities have changed over the years, but our vision remains the same. We are followers of Christ committed to spreading the Good News and caring for community.
