Our Mission
Comboni Missionaries Uganda (MCCJ)
Daniel Comboni, born in Limone, Italy, in 1831, knew at an early age that he would be a priest and missionary. His love was Africa, and in 1854, when God called him there, Daniel answered with all his heart and soul.
St. Daniel devised a Plan not just to bring the Gospel to people who never heard it but also to prepare Africans to evangelize their own people — a revolutionary idea for his time. His motto, “Save Africa with Africa,” captures the essence of the trust he had in the African peoples.
Our Story
For 150 years, the Comboni Missionaries have traveled to nearly every corner of the world, sharing the good news of Christ and working to protect the dignity of all people. Founded in 1867 by St. Daniel Comboni, the Comboni Missionaries are an international Catholic organization dedicated to ministering to the world’s poorest and most abandoned people, often working in unstable political climate, in the midst of extreme poverty.
Despite these challenges, our missionaries are dedicated to their mission of serving God’s people.

Our Mission Focus
With our founder, St. Daniel Comboni, as an inspiration since our beginning 150 years ago, we work for the full development of the human person. We do this through evangelization, education, and advocacy until those we minister to can take over those roles – not just for themselves but for others in need.

Support the Refuguees
Palorinya Refugee Camp
Home away from Home
With the war in S.Sudan, many people were displaced and crossed into Uganda for safety. This caused a need for the Church to come and help in one way or another and so the Refugee Project was started to cater for the Spiritual needs, cause they were wounded spiritually and well as help out with their physical need, however little it may be.
We help nonprofits become more effective
With the help of some Partners, we managed to cater for the physical need of the refugees by getting them some basic necessities as well as the need for skilling them to enable them become self reliant. Read more
We need help to support them
We thanks all our Partner and donor organizations who have stood with us so as to be able to support the refuges to enable them have a Home away from Home. We continue to ask for your support to help the poor and vulnerable in the camp as well as the community around.
