ABOUT
THE PRIZE STUDIO MINISTRIES
Background: Prize Studios Ministries started way back in 2009, as a production studio that produces music videos, tv adverts, and graphics designing. From the small salaries that we get, one of the administrators (Ruth) brought the idea that we start sharing the little we have with the needy after watching a young girl of seven(7) years taking care of her two young brother & sister alone after being dropped in a poor rental house by the mother, this incident was shown on one of the televisions in Uganda and were calling for assistance. it was so touching and we all bought the idea, we visited these kids and played our part which helped these kids a lot who are now mature and important people, A question was asked by the tv presenter who took us that day "WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE" Because we had just gone to help without even discussing the name, one team member answered we're "PRIZE STUDIO MINISTRIES" Since we had come from Prize Studios. Since then we decided to be Prize Studio Ministries. After this visit, many approached us to help because of what they saw. During the course of our different visits, we encountered more challenges and problems. These included and are not limited to the following:
a) Homeless orphans, widows, and the elderly
b) Uneducated and disabled children
c) Impoverished single mothers/parents and elderly
d) Poor water sources and sanitation
Registration of a Non-Governmental Organization:
In order to cause the social-economic transformation of such vulnerable communities, it was necessary to have a better-organized system for human, financial, and material resource mobilization. It is against this background that we took a decision to register Prize Studio Ministries as a Non-Governmental Organization.
Prize Studio Ministries is now a registered Non-Government Organization at Plot 934 Naalya Close, Kireka Parish, Namugongo division, Kira Municipality – Wakiso District Uganda under Registration Number MIA/MB/2021/11/4876.
Financial & Material Resources: We heavily depend on individual contributions of members and fundraising from well-wishers. The extent and scope of services offered are limited by the amount of financial and material resources mobilized.
Challenges:
The following are some of the key challenges to the Ministry
a) Financial and Material constraints which limit the scope & extent of our services.
b) Mobility in terms of transport vehicles to reach communities.
c) Lack of sponsorship for proposed projects.
In view of the above concern, we decided to succor.
Our current running projects.
Human Resource: We have multi-discipline, self-motivated professionals in terms of human resources working to ensure the objectives of the Ministry are achieved.
VISION:
A happy and dignified life for children and women
MISSION:
Empowering children and women in communities
CLEAN WATER FOR HEALTH ENHANCEMENT
AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
We have constructed many well-piped water sources in different communities and the only challenge we have now is borehole construction because there are some areas where wells cannot be constructed, such areas need boreholes but now it is still difficult due to high expenses. The following are some of the communities that we have helped.
TEAM AT WORK - WELL CONSTRUCTION AT BUZIRANJOVU VILLAGE 2020
Having reached many areas and find Humans using the same water source with Animals, we decided to intervene and help such communities by constructing boreholes and piped wells to help over 1500 people access clean water. Currently, our running water project is in kkingo sub-county, Lwengo District.

SINGLE MOTHERS
RESCUE PROJECT
Prize Studio Ministries is implementing a project to rescue single mothers and
widows out of the hard life they are currently living. We always reach many
homes during our gospel outreaches.
In many of the homes, we find single
mothers starving with their children.
The project is being implemented
in Mende Sub-county,
Wakiso district in the Central region of Uganda. We have single mothers in the age bracket of 12 to 18 years. Mende Sub County is an area in which there is a very high rate of girl school dropouts. Many of the girls in this area drop out of school because they get pregnant at a tender age as low as 12 years and can no longer continue with their studies.
We normally do this step by step, every single mother has her own vision and Interests this is mainly determined by their age, therefore we first give them all the food relief items eg maize flour, beans, rice, sugar, salt, and fortified cooking oil, then we sponsor young single mothers to acquire vocational skills eg. tailoring, bakery and crafting skills and we provide capital for income generation eg. single mothers above forty {40} years prefer poultry-keeping {local breeds}
Learning new skills, therefore, we provide to them with what is necessary to start the business and give them little knowledge then monitor them and see whether there are progressing. If there are economically empowered and are generating substantial income, there are able to finance their household expenditures. This means that they will be able to buy food and PPEs for their families; pay school fees for their children and provide personal effects to the family members.
The unfortunate scenario happens to the pregnant girls because their parents chase them out of their homes and when they go to the men responsible for the pregnancies, those men simply abandon the girls and run away never providing any form of support. In this situation, the pregnant girls remain in dilemma starving of hunger, lacking basic necessities,
and not knowing what to do next in order to sustain their lives. They end up seeking refuge in dilapidated housing structures existing in the area, As Prize Studio Ministries, our role is to give them new life in Christ and a new beginning to become economically resilient to be able to support their respective households and access food.

Prize Studio Ministries focuses on helping the young generation to be molded into good behaviors in order to have good citizens with a charity heart in the future. We do this by providing education sponsorship to children who lack access to resources
Using the financial support received from well-wishers & donors, our organization affects the necessary payments in regard to school fees for each of the sponsored children, personal necessities, scholastic materials eg Writing books; Pens; Geometry sets and Graph books, etc.
Our main objectives are;
-
Enable the children to obtain school fees
-
Enable the children to obtain scholastic materials
-
Enable the children to obtain school uniforms and school bag
We lack enough resources to adequately meet the needs of all children. We, therefore, seek your help to enable us to accomplish this undertaking. Your donation is key in solving the problem.
God bless you all. for more information click below.
