Connecting Purpose-Driven Communities
In vulnerable communities across the world, local heroes are leading and equipping others to live out their faith, promote justice, battle poverty, and bring positive change.
We’re creating a way to serve those heroes — a platform connecting communities, leaders, organizations, and supporters to build meaningful relationships and create sustainable solutions.
Leaders Behind the Movement
Why I love Bridgely is because it allows transformation, but it doesn’t set the precedent of how transformation is going to be.

Bridgely brings dignity because it allows us to share our own stories.

Bridgely improves the relationship of the sponsor and the child. It is improved communication. It is improved support for each other. There is listening, and I want to believe that there is also improved accountability for one another. As Church of Uganda, we are looking forward to walking this journey with you as we transform the lives of children.
Rev. Bishop George BagamuhundaCoordinator
Church of Uganda and OneChild USA
This project means a lot to us. This project will help us to minister holistically and deal with the helplessness of the slum area in our community. For the champions, this project empowers them. It makes them more effective in their ministry, and they reach more children. To the children, it raises their hope for a better future — for the family, for the individual, and for the entire community.
Rev. Fredrick Jackson BaalwaVicar
Saint Stephens Kisugu Church of Uganda
Many families have come here, they cry, ‘Just take us up.’ But we can’t afford to have the big numbers. So this partnership helps us expand. We’ve seen our children grow, and they’re teachers, they’re engineers, some of them serve here at church. There is always hope, if as the church, we reach out to these young people and these families.

If every sponsorship program out there would embrace Bridgely, and start using it as soon as yesterday, they would love it!

Truly, this new and emerging ministry platform is positioning our church to become involved and connected with people in some of the darkest places on the planet like never before. We see an enormous potential here to put our ‘hands,’ ‘feet,’ and biblical truth into motion.

Our Mission
Our mission is to unleash the power of healthy intercultural relationships and effective generosity to break the grip of poverty on a global scale — the poverty in all of us
Our Vision
is to see poverty defeated, generosity unleashed, and lives mutually transformed through healthy intercultural relationships.
We see our generation joyfully adopting a revolutionary approach to development and mission. One rooted in meaningful relationships, decentralizing ownership, and lifting up local-first design. Bridgely will connect us all.
Why Join Bridgely?
Our Pillars
Bridgely is built upon six pillars. All organizations and experiences presented through Bridgely will be vetted for alignment with these pillars.
We commit to radically uphold the dignity of people in low-income communities. We reject ideologies that present “the poor” as objects of benevolence. Instead, we empower work that puts people at the center of their own growth and development.
We facilitate relationships to change lives and connect communities to promote intercultural solidarity.
Featured organizations must listen systematically to those they claim to serve, capturing insights and feedback for continuous improvement.
We rally support toward locally initiated work because local ownership is the key to sustainability and local solutions are best to solve local challenges.
We require transparency as it creates both trust and accountability. No hype, no spin, no hero narratives.
We connect front-line groups, eliminating archaic institutional structures, to gain efficiency and therefore impact.
Our work is an expression of our Christian faith and we seek to follow Jesus’ example of humility and love in all that we do.
The Team Building Bridgely
“I love connecting people for effective generosity.”
“Doing more of the same, but 10% better isn’t going to bring an end to extreme poverty. We have to jump curves, by decentralizing, to truly revolutionize poverty alleviation endeavors.”
“I want to connect passionate people with real causes they can impact. I see Bridgely as an opportunity to create a community of problem-solvers, systems-thinkers, and world-changers.”
“I love the transformation that comes from a deeper and more effective sense of agency.”
"Bridgely aims to advance purposeful work and spark a global movement that empowers vulnerable communities. Working with great partners dedicated to creating a world where everyone can thrive is an honor."
“Bridgely will increase the amount of funds available for the child, making a huge impact on eradicating extreme poverty. Also, I just geek-out about using state-of-the-art technology for Kingdom purposes!”
