A faith-driven development organisation rooted in the Catholic social teaching of solidarity and integral human development.
Caritas Kiyinda-Mityana Diocese (K-MD) is the social arm of the Catholic Diocese of Kiyinda-Mityana in Uganda. Established to serve the poorest and most vulnerable, we work across the diocese delivering sustainable development programs in agriculture, health, education, and financial inclusion.
A Catholic Faith Based Organisation working in collaboration with other development partners to empower communities in Kiyinda-Mityana Diocese to achieve self-reliance.
We serve communities across the entire Kiyinda-Mityana Diocese, spanning 32 parishes in the districts of Mityana, Mubende, Kassanda, and surrounding areas of Central Uganda — reaching an estimated 1.5 million people.
"A self-reliant community engaging in Sustainable and Holistic development."
Our work is organised around five core thematic areas, each addressing the root causes of poverty and marginalisation.
We equip smallholder farmers with improved seeds, livestock, agronomic training, and market linkages to build sustainable household incomes. Our integrated approach covers crop production, animal husbandry, soil health, and post-harvest management.
We protect and empower orphans and vulnerable children (OVC), people with disabilities, and elderly individuals — providing psychosocial support, vocational training, and access to essential services. We also promote human rights, gender equality, and good governance in our communities.
We improve health outcomes through HIV/AIDS prevention and care, improved water and sanitation infrastructure, and health education in communities and schools. Our WASH programs ensure access to clean water and proper hygiene.
We build financial resilience by establishing and strengthening SACCOs, village savings and loan associations (VSLAs), and linking community groups to microfinance institutions — so people can save, borrow, and invest in their futures.
We invest in strengthening our own organisational capacity through staff training, governance development, resource mobilisation, and institutional systems — ensuring we can deliver sustainable, high-quality programmes to the communities we serve.
