JUMP Ministries – "Jesus Uses My Potential" – was founded in 2017 by Andrew Ngirumpase in Jinja, Uganda. From a small beginning with 20 street children, a nonprofit organization with five different projects has emerged. Today, these projects are led with great heart, commitment, and dedication by five volunteer staff members.
Our ministry takes place where people are often overlooked: on the streets of Jinja, in the slums, and in families living with great challenges. We accompany street children, create school and community on Sundays, provide valuable community work in the slums, and support children with disabilities. Through our projects, we want to give children safety, belonging, hope, and new perspectives.
In everything we do, people are at the center. We believe that every child is valuable, loved by God, and deserves the chance for a good future. That's why we want not only to provide practical help, but to build relationships, strengthen dignity, and sustainably support families and communities.
As a nonprofit organization, we depend on donations and partnerships. Every contribution helps us continue our work in Jinja and reach even more people. Our desire is to make the love of Jesus visible through our actions and to glorify him in everything.
Street Children
Community, Hope
and Perspective
Every Saturday, our Pastor Michael meets with about 30 street boys in a field. The children are between 12 and 30 years old and live on the streets under difficult conditions.
Community Work
Being There for Each Other
Together
Every two weeks, on Mondays, our team goes out to the surrounding communities to visit and support elderly people and their families.
Support in the Slums
Every two weeks, on Tuesdays, our team visits the slums to provide practical support to people on site.
School Education for Children
Every Sunday, about 60 children come to our home to learn together. A dedicated volunteer teacher teaches the children and provides them with important foundations for their future lives.
Support for Families with Children with Disabilities
Every two weeks, on Mondays, we visit around 20 families in Jinja who have a child with an intellectual, physical, or multiple disability. Many of these families face significant challenges in daily life and often feel left alone.
