In 2015 our founder Amy Ainomugisha – de Jong came to Uganda for the first time in 2015. She fell in love with the people, most especially the people with disabilities, also mentioned as people with Special Needs, and their families. She observed the need of support to the whole family surrounding the person with a disability, because not only the person with a disability is in need of Joy, Love and Hope – their families also are.
A time of preparation, networking, discovering God’s calling and raising support followed and in june 2021 she started living permanently in Uganda to lead the organisation called Special Joy Mission Uganda. Because we believe in Joy for and from people with Special Needs ánd their families.
Special Joy Mission Uganda is a ministry for people with Special Needs and their families in Uganda. Special Joy started because we saw a need to encourage and support people with special needs (disabilities) and their families. We work with all sorts of disabilities and help in all sorts of ways, whatever support is needed for that particular person with disabilities and his/her family, the need, potential and resources of each person with disabilities and his/her family varies and that’s why we work with customization. We have worked in Uganda since 2021 and since then the project activities have grown and expanded.
Embraced, Encouraged, Equipped and Empowered families with special needs family members, rooted in Christ and filled with His Joy.
Embrace people with special needs and their families as Jesus does, and Encourage, Equip and Empower them in every way possible. We aim for a life full of Joy, Love and Hope and strive for a supportive community that promotes inclusivity through advocacy, education and compassionate care. We desire a society where everyone feels valued and empowered to reach their full potential as God purposed them to be.
