July 29, 2022
Please view the our progress on the Leo Primary School Multipurpose Building being completed with the help of our generous donors here.
A message from our founder, Father Leo:
We proudly announce that the Ground Floor of the Multipurpose Building is now usable. In fact, we have moved the students into the classrooms. This accomplishment left us with a debt of #30,000 in supplied materials! They were given to me in confidence and I have my confidence in you. If you pledged or you have been promising yourself to do something, this is the time.

WHAT IS
LETI RESOURCE CENTER?
The Leti Resource Center (LRC) is a nonprofit established by Father Leo Tinkatumire to bring together people who otherwise would not know each other, to make a positive contribution to building a more just world. Specifically, Leti Resource Center seeks to enhance and empower participants through education, training, and public health.
LRC extends its work throughout Uganda, although it is focused primarily in the Isingiro and Mbarara districts.
Leti Resource Center was founded to empower people to fulfill their human promise by improving their economic condition, raising their standard of living, providing medical care, and promoting moral and spiritual wholeness. The Center’s primary objectives are to assist the poorest of the poor in securing education, health services, and clean, safe water; to create and fund community-based micro organizations; and to build a House of Peace as a harbor for those who are struggling the most.
Our current projects include;
-
- reconstruction of St. Oliva Medical Center, which serves both students and the community
-
- raise funds for construction of a kitchen and dining hall to replace existing firepits and wood slabs/shack seating area
-
- Isingiro Business Community Savings and Credit Cooperative
-
- Finish Multipurpose building by raising funds for windows, doors, furniture, roofing and plasterwork expenses
-
- build additional water cisterns to provide accessible, clean water for drinking and cooking;
-
- supporting women's emancipation through women's clubs and education about entrepreneurial opportunities
