For nearly two decades, our foundation, American Friends of the Fr. Bash Foundation, Inc., has stood in partnership with the Father Bash Foundation in the Diocese of Mbarara, Uganda.Our core mission is to support Father John Baptist Bashobora "Fr. Bash" in caring for over 23,000 disadvantaged children by helping to provide food, clothing, education, and spiritual guidance.These children are some of the most vulnerable children in East Africa. They depend on the compassionate generosity of people like you.
Through this shared commitment, we have established vital institutions including the Divine Mercy General Hospital, the Fr. Bash Foundation College of Health Sciences, and the newly rebuilt Blessings Nursery & Primary School.
While our primary mission guides our work, your generosity allows us to respond when unexpected needs arise. Looking ahead, we are preparing to launch several critical initiatives:
Expanding access to clean water
Securing more land for food cultivation
Upgrading school kitchens and latrines to improve health and dignity
Rebuilding Dormitories for Girls and Boys
Sponsorship of Seminarians
Women Novices Sponsorship
Every project brings us one step closer to lasting, transformative change - and every gift helps make that difference possible.
With Heartfelt Thanks To our generous patrons, thank you! Your compassion, faith, and unwavering support make everything we do possible. Because of you, thousands of vulnerable children in Uganda, under Fr. Bash’s care, have access to food, education, healthcare, and hope. Your gifts are more than donations, they are lifelines, answered prayers, and seeds of lasting change.
Thank you for being a shining example of God’s goodness in this world and for believing in our ongoing mission. From the bottom of our hearts, we are deeply grateful for your partnership, your trust, and your love. Together, we are transforming lives.
