History of Deniz Foundation
Our History

How it all began

The Deniz Y’drim Mission Charity Foundation was born out of a grassroots effort to support a local Muslim community in constructing a modern mosque.

Motivated by this impact, the team extended their efforts to address other critical challenges, including the lack of clean water, poor sanitation, limited access to education, and the need for economic empowerment. These efforts led to the implementation of rainwater harvesting system, the construction of a lined pit latrine, the distribution of scholastic materials, and the provision of skill-enhancing tools like sewing machines. In response to the growing scope of activities and in honor of a co-founder (DENIZ YILDRIM) who passed away, MUGISHA FRANK took the lead in formalizing the initiative into a registered non-governmental organization.

Today, Deniz Y’drim Mission Charity Foundation remains committed to advancing faith-based development, access to education, healthcare, skills training, women empowerment, and child development, all guided by the values of compassion, inclusion, and service.

Kabegaramire Mosque

A New Beginning at Kabegaramire Mosque


The Kabegaramire Mosque project was a life-changing initiative for the local Muslim community. Before the mosque was built, the community members were praying in a rented mini-room. Today, they have a beautiful, permanent mosque where they can gather for prayers and community events. "This mosque has brought us together and strengthened our faith," says one of the community elders.

Clean Water System

Safe Water, Healthier Lives


In the village of Kabegaramire, the installation of a clean water supply system has drastically reduced cases of waterborne diseases. "Our children used to fall sick all the time, but now they are healthy and can go to school regularly," shared a grateful parent.

Tailoring Machines

Empowering Women, One Stitch at a Time


Zainab, a young girl from Katefunza B, received a tailoring machine through our Women’s Empowerment program. With the skills she acquired, Zainab started her own tailoring business and now supports her family independently. "This program changed my life. I can now provide for my family and even pay school fees for my siblings," she says with pride.
