Kanyinya Developments
At Biojemmss, we address the root causes that place children at risk in Uganda — including domestic violence, family breakdown, financial pressures, substance misuse, mental-health challenges, social isolation, incarceration, and limited awareness of children’s rights and value. Many families simply lack the support, education, and resources needed to keep children safe. To strengthen our long-term impact, we are developing permanent facilities on our 6.9-acre site in Kanyinya, which will become the home of all our operations in the future.
The Kanyinya site will become the long-term home of all Biojemmss programmes, bringing together our work in crisis support, family strengthening, safeguarding, youth development, and community training. From this centre we will deliver:
- short-term support for children and families in crisis
- family-strengthening and safeguarding programmes
- parenting, financial management, and business development workshops
- children’s camps, activities, and youth development initiatives
- our prison outreach for under-fives
- crisis residential care focused on safe reintegration
- wider safeguarding and community partnerships
By bringing all our programmes together in one purpose-built location, the Kanyinya centre will enable us to reach thousands of children and families each year with practical, life-changing support.
What We Have Already Achieved
Significant progress has already been made on the Kanyinya site, including:
- Establishing agricultural and sustainable-livelihood projects to support both community development and organisational sustainability
- Securing safe water access for Biojemmss and the surrounding community
- Completing sanitation facilities
- Installing electricity access across the site
These foundational developments have created a strong base for the next phase of construction.
Our Current Priority
We are now focused on establishing our Community Centre, which will serve as:
- the base for all community initiatives
- a venue for workshops, training, and events
- a safe gathering space for children and families
- an administrative hub for our staff and volunteers
This centre is the heart of our long-term vision for Kanyinya.
Future Development Plans
As the project grows, we aim to establish:
Phase Two
- Residential provision for short-term crisis care
- A guest house to host visitors, volunteers, and partners supporting the work
Long-Term Vision
- A counselling centre for children who have experienced abuse
- Small shops along the edge of the land, rented to local people as a source of sustainable organisational income
- A small resource space for children’s materials and learning tools, if needed in future
We have intentionally streamlined our long?term plans to focus on developments that will have the greatest impact and sustainability for the children and families we serve.
What next?
Biojemmss remains committed to reaching the unreached and operating in areas where there is limited community-support for vulnerable children.
