Our Story How we began
What Inspired our Founder Pr. Simon
Jesus Kids Stars Foundation began in 2010 as a small outreach ministry
operating in Kawempe. It was founded by a one Gitta Simon Kasirivu
passionate for helping the needy in his community since his childhood, he
dreamed a long time that day to come when he could financially able to do
so. He wanted to help the children since he himself was also helped by a
Good Samaritan during his childhood. Gitta’s mother passed away when he
was very young and his father was drunkard who never knew the value of
education.
Gitta Simon Kasirivu after completed studies decided to ask his sponsor,
Nantaze who is a Ugandan by then living in Germany, on how he could rpay
his gratitude towards her. Her reply to Gitta was “Do others what has been
done to you”. This was a perfect confirmation of what the Lord had placed for
so long within Gitta’’s heart.
Gitta opened the foundation called Jesus Kids Stars Foundation in 2012, and
in 2022 the foundation was officially registered as a Community Based
Organization (CBO) number 17829. In 2019, JKSF was officially recognized
as an indigenous NGO by gvernment of Uganda and for now JKSF is trying to
address major issues affecting Ugandan Communities and help the needy.
