Helping children and youth take their next step in life.

We work beside local churches to help children on Uganda’s remote communities know Jesus, stay in school and learn a skill.

  • Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. — Matthew 19:14 (NIV)
  • Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. — Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV)
  • Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it. — Proverbs 22:6 (NIV)
  • If a man will not work, he shall not eat. We hear that some among you are idle. They are not busy; they are busybodies. Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the bread they eat. — 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12 (NIV)
  • Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to him, Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed, but does nothing about his physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. — James 2:15-17 (NIV)

Three pillars, one purpose

Change lasts when a child’s faith, schooling and daily needs are all cared for. So we work on all three.

Faith

We share the Gospel, teach the Bible and disciple children and youth. Everything else we do rests on this.

Education

We pay fees, supply books and mentor children so they stay in school.

Provision / Skills

We give food and practical help in a crisis. We train youth in trades so families can support themselves.

Moments from the islands

Children, youth and families on Kisima 1, Kisima 2 and other island communities.

How a next step is taken

A child comes to know Jesus, stays in school and learns a skill. The cycle of poverty breaks. That child grows up to disciple others and build up the community.

Knows Jesus

We share the Gospel and start discipleship in a safe, loving place.

Stays in school

Fees, materials and mentoring keep learning on track.

Gains a skill

Trade training and small-business coaching build real income.

Builds others

The young disciple-maker lifts family and neighbours.
