Great Destinies Foundation is led by a four-person Ugandan executive — chairperson, vice chairperson, treasurer and lead counsellor — supported by volunteer field officers and a community of professionals advancing autism support and learning-disability inclusion across Wakiso District.
Four Ugandans — each with lived professional skill — carrying the daily weight of governance, counselling, nutrition, and care for children with autism and learning disabilities.
Daniel chairs the foundation and keeps the machinery moving — governance, partnerships, field logistics, financial discipline. He ensures every shilling of trust placed in our hands becomes measurable good in a child's life. His conviction: hard work and integrity are the truest form of compassion.
Ruth carries the soul of this work. A Ugandan community organiser with a heart for children whose minds are misunderstood, she leads school outreach, caregiver support and family enrolment for children with autism and learning disabilities. Her conviction that every child deserves understanding is the seed from which Great Destinies grew.
Prossy guards the books and feeds the work. As Treasurer she oversees transparent stewardship of every gift received; as a qualified Nutritionist she designs the dietary plans that help children with autism and developmental disabilities thrive. She brings clinical rigour and donor accountability under one roof.
Rebecca leads our counselling work — sitting with mothers raising children with autism, with teenagers navigating learning differences, with caregivers carrying invisible exhaustion. Trained in psychosocial support, she ensures every family that walks into our space is met with skill, patience and respect.
