Yes Uganda

Yes Uganda (Youth Encouragement Services, Inc) is a faith-based, non-governmental organisation based in Fort Portal, Uganda, and registered in the United States.

Its mission is to improve the spiritual and physical wellbeing of orphaned and vulnerable young people — especially children born with HIV+. The work focuses on:

• Providing access to formal education
• Offering medical care and support
• Ensuring social welfare and counselling
• Running a full-board residential home for HIV+ children

Holy Trinity’s Connection
In October 2022, two members of Holy Trinity Bembridge — David and Faith Paterson — travelled to Uganda as volunteer leaders with Yes Uganda.

Faith now manages the Children’s Home, caring for thirty HIV+ children. David supports Carol Adams, the inspirational 78-year-old founder of Yes Uganda. He oversees the education sponsorship programme for over 200 children and is relaunching the vocational training scheme to equip young people with life skills for the future.
