Bushikori Christian Centre Details
The Bushikori Christian Centre can be found outside the township of Mbale in Eastern Uganda. It is run by Anne Wandendeya, wife of the late Rev. Sam Wandendeya and employs more than 30 Ugandan staff.Founded in 1982 to care for the neediest in the community, Bushikori Christian Centre (BCC) has been empowering the vulnerable and disadvantaged in rural communities near Mbale for the last twenty-eight years. The late Rev. Sam Wandendeya began the organisation by initially offering sponsorship and support to children orphaned as a result of the Idi Amin regime. BCC has since become an integral part of the fabric of the community, and has since grown in the number of children that it sponsors and the services that it provides. Currently the centre consists of an outpatients clinic, small hospital, midwife unit, Joshua Primary School, and a community library. Bushikori, in conjunction with the Australian Support Committee, has 349 children sponsored in the greater Mbale area. Through the commitment of the staff in these various departments, BCC has been able to carry out important activities that has enabled community members to improve their socio-economic welfare, have access to quality education, adequate health services, and the resources to develop skills to enable them to live sustainable lives.The Australian Support Committee was formed when the founder of BCC, Pastor Sam Wandendeya, visited Geelong in 1994. Currently through the Australian Support Committee over 370 children are sponsored and we have many more on our waiting list. Some of the children receiving sponsorship are now undertaking university or trade educations in tertiary institutions. Some have now moved onto being employed or have been able to set up their own business.No money donated towards Bushikori Sponsorship or Projects is used in Australia, all costs incurred by the committee are paid for by committee members or with specific donations.
