Maria's Care
When Maria Maw received the facility now known as Maria’s Care it was a disused factory complex with a number of large buildings in various stages of disrepair. Since then it has been transformed into a facility that now houses:

+ Kamuli Parents Primary School (KPPS), which has classes for each year in Primary School (P1 to P7), offices for the Head Master and Deputy Head, staff room and kitchen facilities.
(KPPS caters for about 350 children, some come from the town and pay school fees, others are being sponsored for school fees plus requirements or fees only.

+ The K.P.P.S. Pre-school

+ The K.P.P.S. Deaf School
There are specialists teachers for the deaf children, who are taught up to P4 level.

+ A large hall, used by Maria’s Care, KPPS and the local community for meetings

+ The Training School of Life Skills (TSOLS) which is the vocational school teaching tailoring, crafts, typing.

+ Administrative offices for CRU

+ Two houses “Gods Miracle” and “Mary’s Memorial” – which provide accommodation for the Director, CRU visitors and volunteers

+ Two houses for staff

+ A borehole to provide a regular supply of good quality water

Maria’s Care is a registered Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) in Uganda with the mission of providing functional literary skills, life skills training, and further education to school dropouts, orphans, and illiterate women. One of its key goals is to promote self-sufficiency so each child or adult supported can become a contributing member of the larger community.

For a number of years now one of the support activities that we encourage for the schools we visit in this country, is to become involved in supporting Maria’s Care and other schools in educational projects. An excellent example of this, is the support from schools such as Holles Pre-School and Vernon Junior School in Poynton and Park Royal School in Macclesfield.

Visits by staff and supporters to Maria’s Care are actively promoted through the Volunteer Visits undertaken by CRU a number of times each year. If you would like to find more about this please contact Rhona Marshall on info@christianreliefuganda.org or 01625 618319.
