Pentecost Project Trip to Uganda

In autumn 2025, the final year of the Graubünden Whitsun project, a trip to Kampala and Lira is planned. The aim of the stay is to get to know the projects of the Zizers-based foundation Gott hilft in Uganda in more detail.

The Graubünden Pentecost Project supports the aid project God helps Uganda of the God Helps Foundation in Zizers. This meets the need by:

• Accommodation in accompanied foster families or in a residential home;
• Ensuring food and medical care;
• Ensuring a safe place to cope with trauma;
• Enabling school and vocational training as well as entry into the labour market.

Uganda is considered the pearl of Africa. It is rich in raw materials and a natural paradise. On the other hand, Uganda has one of the highest HIV rates in Africa. A civil war has left deep wounds in the Ugandan civilian population. Children suffer the most from this. Of Uganda's 39 million inhabitants, 50 per cent are under 15 years old. Many of them are orphans. Without help, these children are left to their own devices. That is why the growing generation in particular needs sustainable help to help themselves.
