Leadership

The Zimu Foundation was founded by Fr. Peter Mukasa. Upon returning to Uganda after finishing seminary studies in USA, Fr. Peter was ordained a priest in his home diocese of Kasana-Luweero in 2011 and has dedicated his life not only to the spiritual needs of people in his parish, but also to helping those in his community caught in the shackles of poverty who did not receive the same opportunities as he did to find hope in a future that includes a good education, sustained healthcare, and hope for a vibrant economic future.

The need for the Zimu Foundation is profound. Such small help manifests into so much benefit, not only for clinic construction but also for making a difference in the lives of many underprivileged children and their destitute mothers in remote villages of Uganda, who barely survive in the crudest conditions of life.

The Foundation addresses children’s challenges to good, quality education so that they may have a bright future for a good job and self-sustenance. We support educational sponsorships, income-generating activities and medical treatment to enable children and their families to live, learn, work, and improve their future prospects.

In the United States, the Zimu Foundation is overseen by a Board of Directors headed by Rhonda Dehn, the organization's President.

Please consider supporting the Foundation's work today by making a donation pledge and/or volunteering.
