Support the Dream
Once upon a time, there was a young orphan girl named Petra Otee Mangesho who grew up in Uganda during a devastating war. Despite her difficult circumstances, Petra made a promise to her fellow orphans: “I am coming back for you!” she would say every day.
Her words were full of hope and determination to make a difference in the lives of those who were going through similar struggles to her own.
In 2009, Petra founded Petra Kids Ministries (PKM), a non-profit organization committed to restoring hope and building dreams for children in Uganda. PKM’s mission was to empower children in Uganda, and through their work, they established the Petra Christian School.
The school provides a nurturing environment where children receive a quality education and are empowered to become self-sufficient through employment and entrepreneurship. The organization believes that education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty and is committed to equipping students with the skills they need to succeed in life.
Through Petra’s promise and PKM’s commitment to education and empowerment, hope is being restored and dreams are being built for the children of Uganda. PKM’s vision is to create a Christian environment where students are valued, challenged, and grounded in Biblical principles, providing them with opportunities for a brighter future.
Today, Petra’s promise lives on through PKM’s work, changing the lives of children who once had little hope. Petra’s promise to her fellow orphans has been fulfilled, and her impact on the world will continue to inspire and empower others for years to come.
