Maternal Life Uganda

Gonzaga and Paskazia Lubega

Administrative Directors

Gonzaga and Paskazia Lubega are the Directors of Maternal Life Uganda. They have been the lead trainers for MLI and Catholic Relief Services in Africa for “The Faithful House” program. Since the inception of The Faithful House, they have provided training in 16 African countries and have facilitated both couple-based training and training of trainers. In Uganda, they have provided in-country development of The Faithful House program in multiple dioceses and through the Uganda Catholic Medical Bureau. They are recognized as leading experts in marriage and family life in Africa and have been valued partners in developing MLI’s programs.

Maternal Life Kenya

Njoroge and Mukami Ngaruiya

Facilitators

MLI’s efforts in Kenya are led by James and Miriam Gichuki in Narok, and Njoroge and Mukami Ngaruiya in Thika. They had both completed previous “training of trainers” programs in Tanzania and had taught The Faithful House in their local communities. Over the past two years, they have scaled up their outreach and training, bringing The Faithful House, The Couple Bead Method and food relief efforts to their local communities of Thika and Narok. The success of their work has led to further requests for these programs and they have provided training in dioceses and communities all the way to the borders of Tanzania and Ethiopia.

In addition to these formation programs, these couples coordinated food relief to the Thika slums and have set up two water towers and delivery systems in poor neighborhoods near Narok where water was unavailable.
