“Thank You deeply for all the love, the
support, and the efforts to uplift the
lives of our less fortunate in Uganda!”
- Fr. Julius Bwowe
“The work to be done is indeed
enormous! It requires the support
and concerted efforts of all good-
hearted people who can give of
their goods, their money, and
themselves.”
- Fr. Julius Bwowe
Uplifting the lives of the less fortunate
in Kampala and neighboring districts in
Uganda, Africa
Who We Are The Julius Foundation (TJF) is a charitable non-
profit organization that was incorporated in Helena,
MT in 2014. We established our organization to
assist Fr. Julius Bwowe, a pastor in the Diocese of
Kampala, Uganda, who oversees the pastoral care
of over 60,000 impoverished residents.
Fr. Julius has been visiting the Helena community
since 2006 to raise awareness of the substandard
living conditions of his people. The Cathedral of St.
Helena soon after designated his parish of Our La-
dy of Assumption as a sister ministry. In order to
better support Fr. Julius, parish members of the
Cathedral of St. Helena formed TJF as a tax ex-
empt vehicle for donations and to access local, na-
tional and international grant sources.
TJF is also collaborating with the Carroll College
chapter of Engineers Without Borders (EWB) in
order to meet critical water and sanitation needs in
Fr. Julius’ dio-
cese.
The need is so great
Over the years
Fr. Julius has
described the
extreme poverty
of his parishion-
ers. Families of 8
to 10 individuals
rely on less than
$1 a day. Many
of the residents’ water sources are dirty and con-
taminated, and they have no healthcare programs
to treat the many diseases caused by drinking un-
sanitary water. His community also struggles to
develop due to illiteracy and a lack of suitable edu-
Our Success Stories
Since Fr. Julius first began traveling to the
United States in 2006, great strides have
been made to aid his suffering people in
Uganda. In the ten years following his arrival
many funds have
been raised to as-
sist his projects.
We have already
used a portion of
these funds to
bring relief to his
people by:
Rebuilding the roof on Our Lady of the
Rosary Church
Installing cisterns for collecting rain water
at Our Lady of Assumption parish
Providing funds to implement the EWB
program to install clean water systems
near Holy Trinity School and surrounding
community
Annually providing Fr. Julius with cash
donations for distribution wherever he
sees essential
What We Do . The Julius Foundation
is committed to improv-
ing the quality of life of
the poverty-stricken rural
communities surround-
ing Kampala, Uganda. Fr. Julius has identified
a number of areas of need that desperately
call for developmental improvement. Our top
priorities are:
Installing water systems and sanitation fa-
cilities to provide clean, available sources
of water
Improving education by providing facilities,
supplies, and sponsorship programs
Other projects
As our organization continues to grow, The
Julius Foundation plans to address further
crucial needs including healthcare programs
and medical care facilities, food security,
transportation improvements, and building
More about our story
Since Fr. Julius’
initial visit, the Julius
Foundation has
greatly strength-
ened its connec-
tions, especially
with the Cathedral of St. Helena, St. Paul’s
United Methodist Church, the Helena commu-
nity, and supporters in other states.
