Our programmes

Two streams, one path: from school to livelihood

From a child’s first classroom to a young adult’s first business, we walk beside vulnerable children and youth in Uganda. We teach the Gospel, support schooling and build practical skills.

Four principles behind every programme

Four principles guide every programme we run.

Church-Anchored

Local congregations own and run each programme long after our team steps back.

Holistic Gospel

Scripture and pastoral care run through our schooling and skills training.

Measurable Outcomes

We track reading levels, school attendance, business survival and spiritual growth, not only activities.

Sustainable Exit

Savings groups, local supply chains and peer leaders help families stand on their own.

Our two streams

Nine initiatives for two age groups

Each fits a stage of life: resilience for children, livelihoods for youth.

Stream A: Children

Our Work with Children (Ages 5–17)

Built to last without us

We do not build dependence. Every initiative has a plan for local ownership.

01

Circular micro-economy

Youth tailoring workshops make reusable pads and uniforms for our children’s programmes. The workshops fund themselves.

02

Caregiver savings groups

Parents of sponsored children join community savings circles, so households cover more of their own needs over time.

03

Revolving capital funds

Profits from small businesses refill a shared loan pool. The same seed money starts new youth businesses year after year.

Walk beside Uganda's next generation

Sponsor a child’s school year, fund a starter toolkit for a young tradesperson or support a community outreach. Each one changes a life.
