Unreached Africa serves the unreached communities in rural Uganda. The ministry serves communities through the church. Our programs include poverty alleviation through education, Church planting, provision of clean and safe water, girl child support, youth, and women empowerment.

After graduate school, the founder Jonathan travels to Nakasongola after hearing stories of how pastors in rural areas were suffering. He got invited by a friend he met at a pastor’s leadership conference in Kiwoko who introduced him to a rural pastor, his wife, and 6 children in Kiranga village in Nakasongola district.

He was overwhelmed by the love this family showed him when they borrowed a mattress and a blanket for him for the night. He was so troubled at how children and their parents slept on rags on the floor in their small hut trampled in too much poverty, hopelessness, and brokenness.

The state of this family and the community situation of how women and girls were abused, men abandoning their responsibility as fathers, witchcraft, syncretism, ignorance, illiteracy, disease, hunger, lack of clean and safe water, and many more all overwhelmed him and pushed him to start a ministry that will be like a movement to cause transformation and hence the birth of Unreached Africa.

Nakasongola district is in the central part of Uganda. Given its position in the central region, the district experiences a long dry spell which is due to deforestation that lives communities without water.

The women and girls look for water for long distances and this water is shared by animals as well. The men given their cultures are farmers who grow crops and rear animals while others burn charcoal for a living. However, men have a negative attitude toward work.

The people of Nakasongola are polygamous with no respect for women and children. They are stuck in their traditional beliefs and do not believe in education. The girls and women are seen as property for the families and can be sold off to recover from emergencies.
