Algernon Stanley Smith

Algernon “Algie” Stanley Smith (14 February 1890 – 28 July 1978) was a British Protestant Christian missionary in Uganda and Ruanda.

They were daughters of James Watney the brewer, and through their inherited wealth were very strong supporters of Christian Mission and of their local church.

[4] The CMS Uganda missionary committee received an appeal for medical help from Rwandans in Ruanda and Kigezi in 1917.

The Rwanda Mission continued to send missionaries to Uganda, Ruanda, Burundi and Eastern Congo.

Ruanda Mission changed its name to Mid-Africa Ministry (MAM), and in 1999 was re-integrated into CMS and continues to provide health care.
