Programs outline

Spiritual Health and Development is the foundation of Roots of Mercy International Ministries. Children, Parents and Communities are introduced to the good news, the gospel of Jesus Christ. Those born again and those showing interest in the good news receive daily spiritual lessons designed to increase the spritiual maturity of each individual.  Each day begins with morning devotions for all the children. Continuing evaluation of each child's spritiual progress is the vital way we measure the success of these ministry efforts.  The ultimate goal is to produce adults with a continuing relationship with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

The Education and  Mental Health programs for Roots Of Mercy International encompass several areas of focus including education, counseling, and vocational training.  

Roots Of Mercy International (ROMI) provides an education from preschool to high school for each enrolled child.  A complete education gives each child the opportunity to seek careers that allow them to support their families and give back to their communities.

Additionally, we provides life skills training for children that are beyond a reasonable school age or are not academically gifted. Life skills provides training in reading, writing, and math and can include vocational training such as farming, tailoring, or other skills.  These programs are also offered to the adults in the community that desire the assistance, potentially giving them skills that lead their lives away from poverty.

A healthy as possible home environment is also a major focus of Roots of Mercy International.  Regular home visits assess each child's home environment to ensure each child is as safe as possible from mental and physical abuse.  Additionally, we provide education and counselling services to the parents and to the community to help build a strong and more vibrant community.

A child cannot learn well on an empty stomach nor excel while they are sick. Holistic Physical Health Programs are a foundation of our work in East africa. Nutritional Assistance, Hygiene Training, Clean Water Access, Youth Sports and Health Checkups build a foundation for each individual's success.  

These programs build the foundation for future success for our students, our parents and our communities.

Roots Of Mercy International is committed to each child's social health by focusing on the child's social development, building relationships with their caregivers and enhancing community development by:

• Creating Christ like characters.
• Building self esteem and confidence.
• Training each child to be successfull in the world.
• Opening their minds to see their value and self worth as a person created in God's image.
• Bringing people from different societies together to overcome community stereotypes.
• Educating the caregivers on how to support the child.

Through these steps our goal is that each child, with sustainable life skills, breaks through the mentality of poverty and finds hope for a better future.

To have a lasting impact on the children, parents and communities  are involved in, sustainable development and use of natural resources within the community are critical for long term change.  

These programs vary by region and community.  Most communities are agriculture driven and our programs are intended to deveopment modern agriculatural techniques as well as advance crop processing, enabling communities to export finished goods such as animal feeds, maize, processed poultry and pork products to larger markets in Uganda, thus greatly increasing the revenue from each local grower.
