Welcome
CRMI is a small Christian charity based in the North West of England and has been a UK registered charity since 2008. We work with some of the poorest and most vulnerable children, young adults and families in Uganda, helping them to build better lives for themselves and their families.
Medical
We run a Medical Mission in January each year, staffed by volunteer doctors, nurses and other health professionals. Our open clinics provide free consultation and medication for the poor communities where access to healthcare can be very limited. We typically treat around 1,000 patients in 2 weeks.
Sponsorship
Our child sponsorship programme has run since 2006. Monthly sponsorship for children at primary school costs £25 and provides a child with education, a hot meal, school uniform and regular health checks. Our aim is to help each child reach their full potential, whatever and wherever that might be.
Education
We run 2 thriving and expanding primary schools, Way of Salvation in Bombo, which opened in 2015, and Great Hope at Nakaseke, opened in 2017. We are guided by John Bunjo’s vision to provide high quality schools and education for orphaned and needy children.
Social Housing & Enterprise
When the need arises, we have been able to buy land and build houses for vulnerable families in the greatest need. To date we have built 5 such houses and have land available for more.
We have been able to help several people start their own businesses and plan to develop this work.

Meet Ivan
Ivan was found living in a single roomed shelter he had built for his wife and 4 children, after their home collapsed in December 2015. Three years ago Ivan suffered from a stroke, but despite his disability, he does everything he can to provide for his family.
His story touched the hearts of the followers of our medical mission and as a result, Children of Hope has been able to purchase an acre of land, on which we have built a home for Ivan and his family. The extra land has been used to provide two more houses, and a community centre is being built this year.

Our Recent Projects
The charity has grown greatly in recent years as we have responded to the needs in the community we see for ourselves and hear about from the team in Uganda. Our work develops year on year and regularly takes us into new areas. We will only get involved in a project if we believe we can deliver it successfully and sustainably, and we rely enormously on the skill and dedication of the CRMI team on the ground in Uganda.

Give change. Make change.
Sponsorship costs £25 per month and this will provide your child with a quality education at a selected school, nutritious food and health care.
By the end of 2017, we had managed to find sponsors for well over 300 children. All these children have been enrolled in schools that will give the best possible education. Half of these are being educated at our school at Bombo.
