Amigos Internacionales, an organization dedicated to making a positive impact globally, operates through its child sponsorship program and Missionpoint initiative. This initiative serves as a beacon of hope, showcasing the life-changing power of Jesus Christ in transforming lives.


Missionpoint is a symbol of faith and action, providing spiritual guidance and practical support. By reaching out to those on the fringes of society, they foster a strong sense of community unity. Lives are changed through faith, evangelism, and meaningful action. Amigos Internacionales is committed to making a lasting difference, uplifting and empowering individuals, one life at a time.

Transformative Stories of Hope and Faith

The essence of Missionpoint's impactful work is vividly captured in inspiring stories of transformation. Take for example Sakwera, a young refugee who, against all odds, found solace and purpose through the unwavering power of faith. Through the support and guidance of Missionpoint, Sakwera's life took a profound turn, opening up a world of opportunities that once seemed out of reach.


Similarly, Nkeleja, a local businessman grappling with personal struggles, discovered a newfound sense of hope through the message of Jesus Christ. Missionpoint's unwavering commitment to spreading the gospel and providing practical support enabled Nkeleja to overcome challenges and experience a remarkable journey of redemption and growth.


These narratives of struggle, faith, and redemption serve as a testament to the transformative impact of the Holy Spirit working through the message of Jesus Christ. Through Missionpoint's dedication, sustainable change and hope are brought to lives that were once clouded by despair. Together, we can continue to make a difference and inspire others to find their own stories of transformation.

A Commitment to Long-Term Empowerment

Missionpoint, a compassionate and forward-thinking organization, is deeply committed to making a lasting impact beyond providing immediate relief. Recognizing that marginalization is a complex issue, Missionpoint understands the importance of addressing its root causes, which include poverty, limited access to education, and social isolation.


In its pursuit of transformative change, Missionpoint actively works to break down barriers and build bridges of hope in marginalized communities. Our faith based support includes refugee settlements in Northern Uganda and remote regions in Tanzania, where the organization focuses its efforts.

Through the power of faith and community support, Missionpoint aims to create sustainable and meaningful change in the lives of those in need. With unwavering dedication and a holistic approach, the organization strives to uplift individuals and communities, fostering a brighter future for all.

Join the Mission: A Call to Action

Missionpoint extends a warm invitation to everyone, encouraging their participation in this transformative journey. Emphasizing that every effort, no matter how big or small, carries immense significance in aiding those in greatest need.


Whether it be through volunteering precious time, making generous donations, or raising awareness in our communities, we can all play a vital role in contributing to Missionpoint's mission of fostering substantial change. With a vision to be a guiding light and catalyst for change, Missionpoint aspires to create a society where every individual is empowered to succeed and thrive. Together, let's make a lasting impact and create a brighter future for all.

In a small rural village in Tanzania, a man sits quietly outside his home. His body is thin. His shoulders are tired. And rising from his back is a painful tumor that has slowly stolen nearly everything from him. His name is Zakaria. For years, Zakaria worked as a boda boda driver, carrying passengers from village to village on his motorcycle. In East Africa, a boda boda is more than transportation. For many families, it is survival. Every ride meant food. Every mile meant provision. Every long day on rough roads meant another opportunity to care for his wife and continue moving forward. But suffering often enters quietly. What began as a hitching pain in Zakaria’s back slowly became swelling. At first, it was manageable. Like many men trying to provide for their families, he pushed through the discomfort and kept working. But the pain continued. The swelling grew. And over time, the tumor became impossible to ignore. Today, Zakaria lives with constant pain and uncertainty. The disease has robbed him of strength, dignity, income, and peace. The motorcycle he once depended on has already been sold in a desperate attempt to find healing. And yet, in the middle of suffering, something unexpected happened. Hope arrived.

In many parts of the world, turning on a faucet is so ordinary that it barely deserves a second thought. A glass fills. A child drinks. A mother does the dishes. A shower runs before work or school. Clean water is simply there. In Northern Uganda, that reality still feels distant for thousands of families. In many villages scattered across rural East Africa, water is not found in a kitchen sink or flowing from pipes beneath the ground. It is carried in yellow jerrycans across dusty roads and narrow footpaths. It is gathered from muddy ponds, shallow holes carved into the earth, or stagnant pools shared with livestock. Sometimes it is brown. Sometimes it smells foul. Sometimes it makes children sick. For families with no other option, it is all they have. The water crisis in East Africa is not only about thirst. It affects health, education, safety, opportunity, and dignity. It shapes how children spend their mornings and how mothers spend their days. It determines whether girls attend school consistently or remain trapped in long daily walks carrying heavy containers of water under the scorching sun. At Amigos Internacionales, this reality is not theoretical. Staff and partners have sat beside families in remote villages. They have watched children scoop water from contaminated pits after rainfall. They have seen entire communities transformed when clean water finally arrived. That transformation is why water remains one of the most urgent and powerful parts of the MissionPoint model across Northern Uganda.

For seventeen years, Bridgette has carried a burden no child should ever bear. What started as a small red spot on her face when she was just a baby grew into a massive vascular tumor that doctors across Uganda refused to operate on. Too risky, they said. The tumor could bleed too much. She might not survive. Come back when she's older. Come back when it's smaller. Come back, come back, come back. Bridgette and her mother, Rose, heard "no" for seventeen years. But today, something has finally changed. Bridgette is now on medication that is actively shrinking her tumor. Dr. Paul Mulyamboga, Amigos Internacionales' Director of Medical Services and founder of Doctors on Mission, is monitoring her progress. When the tumor reaches an operable size, he will refer her to Mulago National Referral Hospital in Kampala for the vascular surgery that could change her life. There's just one problem: surgery can only happen if the funding is already in place . If we don't raise $12,000 before Bridgette's tumor is ready for surgery, she will have to wait again. And after seventeen years of waiting, we cannot let that happen. How It Started — A Small Red Spot
