The Mission
Baraka Bouts is not only an athletic club, but a club committed to service and education. Since 2002, participants have focused their efforts outside of the ring towards raising money for the Holy Cross Missions in East Africa, in partnership with the Holy Cross Mission Center. Through ticket sales, advertisements and general donations, the women have offered assistance to the Holy Cross Lake View Senior Secondary School in Jinja, Uganda and St. Joseph's Hill Secondary School in Kyarusozi, Uganda. Currently, our funds are helping to build a new girls dormitory at Lake View so the school can accommodate more students.
"Joining Holy Cross Lake View was one of the best decisions I have made in life for it has truly instilled in me a sense of purpose, a commitment to lifelong learning, and a deep appreciation for the transformative power of education as a lady. Any generous effort in helping my school is an opportunity for many young girls and boys who will go through Holy Cross to transform their lives. Thank you, Baraka Bouts, for the fruits of your generosity will open many opportunities for young girls in Uganda." - Nicholet Zabuna, alum of Lake View
