OUR LADY OF KYANKWANZI

Our Lady of Kyankwanzi caters for the spiritual, social and humanitarian well being of the students and the people in that area. Our Lady of Kyankwanz as a chaplaincy has a population of 20,000 people, Catholics and non-Catholics. It has got challenges of unclean water, malaria, backward cultural practices eg. Forced early marriages to the girl- child in order to get material wealth on the part of the parents. As a church, we are sensitizing the people to stop this and to give equal opportunities to both girls and boys. As a church, we are trying to put up structures such as schools with educational materials, health centers though they are not yet well equipped and also finding means of providing clean water to the people in the area. Together with the government, we are sensitizing the people to sleep under mosquito treated nets. We are sensitizing the people to take their children to school as the only way of having an educated generation.
