About Us

WHAT WE DO

Caring for children where the need is greatest

Mercy Vision Ministries works across Uganda to rescue and restore children who have been orphaned, abandoned, or left vulnerable by poverty, illness, and conflict. From our home in Kampala to our medical facility in Kiyuni, we meet children where they are and walk with them toward a future they can call their own.

Our work is rooted in the belief that every child carries extraordinary potential. We do not measure success by numbers alone but by lives changed, families restored, and communities strengthened. With every child we shelter, every classroom we fund, and every patient we treat, we move one step closer to our goal of changing the world for children without hope, one child at a time.

Safe Shelter

Quality Education

Healthcare Access

Spiritual Care

Food and Nutrition

Help is the heart of who we are

For Mercy Vision Ministries, helping is not a project or a program. It is the reason we exist. Every child we welcome into our home, every student we send to school, and every patient who walks through the doors of Be Still Medical Facility represents a choice we made to step in when others stepped away.

OUR PEOPLE

The people behind Mercy Vision

2014 Founder
Bogere Julius
Founder & Director, Mercy Vision Ministries
Born and raised in Mubende District, Julius had a rough start. Despite the scourge of HIV/AIDS and other killer diseases around him, he was fortunate to go through school.
“I grew up wishing we all had the same opportunities.”

“I lost my dad at seven. With a single mother, I was chased out of class because school fees had not been paid. I grew up wishing we all had the same opportunities. That is when I developed a desire to change the world for children without hope. I have devoted my life to loving and sharing my whole self with children without hope, because they define my early life.”
It is our responsibility to come alongside these children and support them. Poverty can be devastating to a person’s ability to reach their full potential and achieve what they have always dreamed of. There may be days when all hope seems lost for the abandoned child, growing up in a household without parents, security or certainty.
Julius understands that poverty is as much a physical and economic reality as it is a psychological and spiritual state of being. He believes it is only the power in the Gospel of Jesus Christ that can make an eternal difference in such situations.
Leadership team
Sseguya Jude Thadeh

“A generation where education is accessible, whatever a family can afford.”

Read his storyClose story
I was born into a polygamous family with over fifty siblings, and a single day in school was hard to afford. I was born multi-talented: good at athletics, football and academics. Because of those talents, schools wanted me, largely for their own advertising, and in return they gave me an education until I obtained a diploma in primary education. After five years of teaching I became a head teacher.
My background shaped who I am. I had friends who were born and raised in poor families but had no special talents like mine. They were good academically, yet they never excelled in school, and that came down to their financial status. I know there are still children like them today.
Whenever possible, I want to give a helping hand. My dream is that we raise a generation where education is accessible irrespective of one’s financial position.

Tusubira Yakin
Team Member, Mercy Vision Ministries
Yakin grew up with every privilege and lost his best friend to sickle cell disease at thirteen. That loss is why he joined Mercy Vision.
“Even though my father helped, it was never enough to save Billy.”

Read his storyClose story
I was born into a Muslim family. My father married four women and, being a rich man, gave me enough privileges. My soft spot for disadvantaged children came from my childhood best friend, Billy, who had sickle cell disease. I watched him go through endless pain while his parents could not afford his medical bills. I asked my father to support him, and although he helped, it was never enough to save Billy. He succumbed to the pain and was laid to rest at thirteen.
When my friend Julius approached me to join Mercy Vision, it was an easy decision. The ministry is father to a girl living with sickle cell, and I knew exactly what that meant.
