Founded on a conviction: no child's future should be decided by their circumstances.
Prayista Foundation began in 2016 in a single Kampala parish, tutoring six children after Sunday services. Today we walk with thousands of children across Uganda, Kenya, and Rwanda still rooted in faith, still radically practical.
