Patrick: Founder & Director of Operations
Every time I saw street boys I remembered my life on the same streets. It is my prayer to expand so more children on the streets are reached, loved, and provided for as Christ has called us to look after these little ones. I appeal to everyone to never undermine the little help given to the needy children, as you may not know the extent of the impact it brings.
Arthur: General Manager
I like working at The Shepherd Center because the organization touches lives of children directly and changes them completely. I find joy in working with children who are the greatest in God’s kingdom. TSC also aims at transforming the whole society.
Edison: Social Worker
I like working with The Shepherd Center because it is a place that reminds me of the great things God has done in my life. In addition, I like working with the marginalized groups, including street children, and helping them realize their potential.
Martin: Center Guide
To me, The Shepherd Center is like home. I feel it was God’s call to do His work to help these young boys from the streets, and to see them grow into big men for a better Uganda. I like working at TSC because of the people who are committed to help these young boys, like those who fund the center and the Director..
Obed: Social Worker
I am privileged to work at The Shepherd Center because it reflects the love of Jesus Christ upon the boys’ lives. I love to see the boys inspired, encouraged, motivated, and equipped to face life on their own in the future as a living testimony.
Olivia: Cook
It is my desire, and makes me feel good, to see the boys eating. I like to spend time with children while playing with them and preparing food for them.
Eunice: Cook
Working with The Shepherd Center and seeing how it helps transform street boys into great men and God-fearing people gives me joy. I also get help because the project facilitates us with salaries to support our families.
Ronald: Security
I thought working as a security person with the street boys was going to be the hardest job in my life, but I found that the boys are completely changed and obedient, which makes my work easier and a joy to see how they have changed.
Justus: Groundskeeper
Being a neighbor to The Shepherd Center, I always wanted to go and work there because the staff and boys are exemplary in the community and The Shepherd Center is a special place.
Lisa. Administrative Support & Child Sponsorship Coordinator.
I met Patrick in 2010, on my first trip to Uganda, and we have been friends since then. In 2013 I moved to Uganda to serve as missionary full-time. I was happy to join Patrick and the rest of the staff at The Shepherd Center in 2017.After taking care of two vulnerable young boys in my own home, a concern and a passion has grown within me for other boys with no where to go. I love to see God’s redemption lived out in the lives of these boys with the work of His faithful servants working together to demonstrate His love.
