The Mothers' Union is a movement striving to help support families in need. ^[4] The YWCA was founded in 1855 and was a social movement that regards such things as civil rights and freedom of women. ^[5] Katie was an influential President of the important organization. When her husband retired, the couple moved to Nangabo, which is a sub-county in Uganda. There she founded the Nangabo Center as a community meeting place for people in need. The center provided support and encouragement for the education of girls and Katie ran a preschool, as well.^[1] Katie felt children were an inspiration to her, as she had four of her own. Katie also served as an interpreter for Mary Ainsworth during her work with Ugandan mothers.^[2] Mary Ainsworth was a developmental psychologist in Uganda.^[6] Katie had a strong passion for children, which led her to become the founder of a childcare organization from her home. With the help of her supportive husband, she founded the first pre-school for African children in Uganda. ^[7] She was a productive member of society and was actively involved in her church. She participated in several organizations in her church by helping those in need. She was a part of The Provincial Committee of the Church of Uganda and the Missionary Board of the Church of England.^[8] Katie passed away on May 12, 1985 after living a remarkable and fulfilled life of serving others.
