Life Impact Program
"Let your light so shine before men..." - Matthew 5:16a
In Uganda, only 70% of children complete primary school (7th grade) and only 30% of children complete secondary school (high school) due to poverty and early marriages. Our Life Impact program seeks to address this problem by giving children and youth the hope and opportunity to become who God created them to be. Our vision is to create a ripple effect that transforms families and communities through the touch of one individual.
In addition to providing tuition assistance for school and skilled trade training, we disciple and develop all participants into Christ-centered leaders through Bible teachings, servant leadership training, health education (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and relational), financial discipline training, and fellowship. When one person is impacted with the light of Christ, their light will shine on everyone they touch. Join us in spreading light to families and communities by sponsoring a child or youth today!
Child Development & Sponsorship Program
In Uganda, every level of school requires fees. Many families fail to keep up with these fees causing youths to drop out and resort to early marriage, drugs, stealing, and other vices to survive. Lack of basic education also creates cycles of ignorance, poverty, disease, and hopelessness that devastate communities. Ignorance can also lead to the spread of superstitions and witchcraft often resulting in jealousy, hatred, and attacks.
Our program enrolls elementary-age children and provides tuition assistance to help them achieve their desired career. Through each child, we are breaking the cycle and transforming mindsets. With education, youths have higher chances of getting decent jobs, enabling them to support themselves and their families and give back to their communities. They can also obtain positions where they can make Christ-centered policies that can transform their communities and the country.
Skilled Trade Development & Sponsorship Program
Because of the general poverty in our communities, many youths fail to finish school. This leaves them in a desperate and hopeless situation, unable to obtain stable employment. Some youths never even get the chance to start school because of their family's poverty, which leaves them especially aimless. Many look for a way out by getting married or engaging in different vices to survive.
This program seeks to offer these youths a trade skill that can give them a career with decency and dignity, transforming their lives and the lives of their families. We enroll youths (ages 15-30) and sponsor their skills training in fields such as mechanics, welding, carpentry, tailoring, hairdressing, catering, or crafts. While they are enrolled in training and for one year afterward, we also engage them in fellowship and mentorship.
