We are the hands and feet of Jesus for orphans and vulnerable children in Koreng, Uganda.
WHAT WE DO
Hands of Kindness offers a variety of life-changing programs and services for daily, physical needs for the children of Koreng, Uganda.

MEDICAL & HEALTHCARE
Teams of volunteers have constructed the first medical clinic in the region—now healthcare is accessible for the children and surrounding area.
SPECIAL PROJECTS
Through donations and mission trip volunteers, we've been able to supply labor and materials for their orphanage (dormitory), medical center, water well, school desks, and more to come.
Since our start in 2010, Hands of Kindness Children's Ministry has served hundreds of children and members of the local community through:
Sponsorships for over 100 local children.
Building a 112-bed dormitory for orphans and under-privileged children.
Building a medical center—something that the community has never had.
Building a well for clean water!!
OUR STORY
In 2010, Kathie Burgess saw firsthand how war, disease, and extreme poverty affected the children in a remote village in Uganda, Africa while on a mission trip with North Greenville University. The Lord’s Resistance Army had oppressed the nation—children without shelter, food, or adequate clothing, and rampant malaria with no healthcare available. These crises have resulted in over 2.5 million orphans where access to the things we take for granted—water, food, clothing, shelter—are virtually nonexistent.
When she asked the question, "What can I do to help?" ... the Holy Spirit responded, "Start a ministry to become the hands of feet of Jesus, and serve these children."
Hands of Kindness Children's Ministry, a 501(c)3 charity, began.
OUR TEAMS
Running a ministry takes a village! And dedication.
We have teams on the ground in Koreng, as well as an American board of directors and advisors who help plan, fundraise, and gather others who want to join in on the mission.
