Heart For Uganda | Rescuing Children & Saving Lives in Uganda, Africa in Christ's Name

Heart for Uganda was founded by Alissa Cooper Sande, who resigned from her elementary teaching position in 2008 to fulfill her childhood dream of rescuing children in Africa. Heart for Uganda is headquartered in Clarion County, PA and partners with God's Care Ministries in Kyenjojo, Uganda. God's Care Ministries was founded by Pastor Victor Sande, who was called by God to preach the Gospel and alleviate poverty in his nation.

Our primary purpose for existence is to carry the hope and love of Jesus to the despairing in Uganda. We know that the "living" Gospel is the only hope for Africa. We desire to carry God’s heart for the lost, destitute, and rejected and love them as Jesus would. It is our vision to bring hope, life and love to the Ugandan people and empower them to be successful in whatever they do. We believe that as we lead them to understand and know God and His love for them, their lives will be transformed spiritually and physically.
