Glorifying God, Wherever We Are Called
Through the help and generosity of our partners, Okoa Refuge’s Christian ministry in East Africa has expanded across Uganda and neighboring nations, including Rwanda, Kenya, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), South Sudan, Sudan, Chad, Zanzibar, and the Central African Republic. In each country, this Christ-centered work focuses on caring for vulnerable children, strengthening families, and supporting local churches. Our locations include a residential child rescue center, a full-service hospital, gender-based violence shelters, community empowerment centers, churches, and Bible schools.
As a Christian ministry in Uganda and across East Africa, we intentionally plant and build where there is the most need and the greatest potential for life-changing, Gospel-driven impact. We also have 8 missionaries serving in undisclosed locations and 2 Tebow Okoa Philippi campuses in Masaka and Lwengo that provide safe housing, discipleship, and vocational training for survivors of exploitation as part of our broader East Africa missions work.
