Uganda Mission

The Jesus Youth movement’s first initiatives in Africa began in 2010 in Uganda. After networking with Church leaders the movement began its work in universities and among youth in the grass root level. Today Jesus Youth has full time volunteers working in Uganda, it has reached out to several universities and has a presence in more than ten dioceses. The movement is also involved in several leadership training programmes in the country. From Uganda, Jesus Youth has moved into initial stages of its work in several East African countries like Sudan, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Kenya, Chad and Djibouti.
