The Well Project

Thanks to your help in our fundraiser last fall, Global Ministry Partners provided enough money for the Mayuge Christian Education Center to drill a well!

This new well will:
• Provide cleaner, safer drinking water.
• Allow children at the MCEC to get water without crossing a busy road.
• Supply extra water for growing crops.
• Provide water for the community surrounding the MCEC.

Health and Hygiene

Sanitary pads are provided for each girl monthly. This has improved hygiene and lowered risk of infections.

Girls have more freedom to leave their home with confidence and dignity. Mary shares her gratitude.

The MCEC property was designed for residential use. With more people coming for bible studies, education, and events, the original latrine was overworked and would soon fail. Global Ministry Partners provided them with the funds to build a new one.

MCEC preaches the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the community encouraging them to leave witchcraft and other beliefs but follow Christ. MCEC gives hope to hopeless young mothers and teenage girls by teaching them empowerment skills (baking, vegetable growing, computer training, counselling, and self-hygiene). Global Ministry Partners is a sister organization who have been so supportive spiritually, advisory and financially.

Godfrey Nkutu,
MCEC Board President

“In 2019, I visited Godfrey Nkutu to talk about his desire for a school. When I saw the girls that were meeting in Mayuge, I knew God was calling me to partner with Godfrey on his vision for a school. Mayuge Christian Education Center (MCEC) was formed from this partnership. This partnership, now Global Ministry Partners in the U.S., is joining MCEC to raise the necessary funds and support for building the ministry of MCEC to fulfill the vision God has given us for the girls of Mayuge.

Gary Christman,
GMP President
