Who We Are
Great Winners Foundation is a Christian, non-profit, non-governmental organization based in Masaka Sector, Nyakarambi Village, Kicukiro District. Founded in 2009 by a small group of 8 women inspired by love and the Holy Spirit, GWF began by visiting and supporting patients at Kibagabaga Hospital, providing them with nutritious meals and care, guided by Isaiah 58:6-7.
As the foundation grew, members received a broader vision for service. By the end of 2016, the vision expanded to building a center for the vulnerable, which would become the hub for all our programs. Our mission is rooted in Matthew 25:35-36 and Isaiah 1:17, and our activities are organized into seven main programs.
Vision
"Uplifting dignity and hope for the most vulnerable through love in action."
Mission
"Guided by the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 25:31–46, we are committed to recognizing Christ in every person in need—feeding the hungry, providing shelter, supporting refugees, clothing the naked, and caring for the sick and the imprisoned."
