Faith, family, and a village between two nations.
Since 2019, Kica Hope Restoration Mission has carried a simple conviction: that a community once trapped in a cycle of poverty and despair could be physically and spiritually restored, one relationship at a time.
Pastor Patrick & Jamilah Watmon
Kica Hope Restoration Mission is led by Pastor Patrick Watmon and his wife Jamilah, who founded the mission out of a call to uplift vulnerable children and families in northern Uganda. Their vision reaches beyond relief, toward lasting, whole person transformation.
Together they lead a growing team of teachers, discipleship leaders, and outreach volunteers serving both the host community around Adjumani and the refugee families arriving from South Sudan.
You will be the voice of the pregnant mother seeking health care, the answer to the disadvantaged child's prayer for education, the mentor for youth yearning for a brighter future.
Physical and spiritual transformation, together
We believe restoration cannot be split in two. A child needs a classroom and a reason to hope. A young mother needs a Mama Kit and a community that will not let her walk alone. A village needs clean water and the good news of the gospel.
Uplifting the vulnerable through five commitments
Education, health care, compassion for the pregnant girl child, modern agricultural training, and the preaching of the gospel, carried to reached and unreached communities alike, on both sides of the Uganda and South Sudan border.
Challenge, Response, Impact
What our community faces, what we've done about it, and what's changed, told through the same photos that go into our monthly field reports.
A community stretched thin by conflict and poverty
- Families arriving from South Sudan with almost nothing
- A host community already short on schooling, clean water, and maternal health care
- Young girls facing real pressure into early marriage
- Child mothers often left to raise malnourished infants alone
Programs built for the whole person
- A finished kindergarten classroom for daily learning
- Modern agriculture training and the Hope Shade fruit field
- Mama Kits and life skills training for young mothers
- Weekly discipleship and door to door gospel outreach
Real change, reported every month
- A finished classroom now full of children
- About 367 people reached with the gospel in a single month
- Ten refugee camp settlement youth in school, some now in college
- Every number here comes straight from our field reports
A season of building
Real milestones from our 2026 field reports: the unglamorous, faithful work of restoration, month by month.
Classroom roofing completed
After prayer and partner support, the temporary classroom structure was fully roofed, a major step toward a finished learning space for our children.
Clean water secured, classroom finished, Hope Shade begins
We secured clean water provision at our facility after a longstanding challenge, finished the classroom structure, and ploughed roughly one acre of land (Hope Shade) to begin a fruit garden along the highway to South Sudan.
367 lives reached through gospel outreach
A month of prayer and fasting turned outward: door to door visits and community film nights across several villages saw about 367 people give their lives to Christ.
Believing God for one acre & a training center
We are believing God for additional land to build a Bible training center and life skills center, and have already begun planting fruit trees on faith.
Our core convictions
Dignity First
Every family we serve is met with respect, never pity, and involved in shaping their own path forward.
Faithful Stewardship
Every partner who gives receives a monthly report on exactly what their gift accomplished.
Whole Person Restoration
Body and spirit together: education and agriculture alongside prayer, discipleship, and the gospel.
