Increasing self-sustainability is essential for our villagers’ dignity, ownership, and guarding against creating dependency. It is our goal that MCM – Uganda grows more each year in its ability to self-sustain through programs in farming.

MCM children learn self-reliance, practical skills and work ethic: Our kids, especially those who are housed with us because they have no family to take them in, are asked to help out with our agricultural projects. They take pride in contributing to, not just receiving from, MCM. In addition to the practical skills they gain, they learn the value and reward of hard work.

Support employment: MCM employs a number of adults from the village to take care of our on-site children and facilities and manage our agricultural endeavors.

Sharing our resources: Our agricultural projects provide food for on-site children and MCM staff, and are also available to assist local families in dire need.
