KAMPALA, UGANDA
2024 - 2025
For the 9th year I am living and serving in Kampala and will be travelling from the main city into more rural communities. I will be speaking with churches, training young leaders, visiting primary schools and running various outreach events and programs. I will be visiting with many families and providing care when possible. This involves Christmas hampers from our GIFT GUIDE, work projects, Kids Camps, family mentoring and special Safe House building projects.

3 PROJECTS
We will be helping rural schools gain access to clean water. Rainwater collection is a renewable, sustainable, environmentally-friendly way of bringing clean water to people with limited access to rivers, taps or wells. Bringing access of water to schools helps keep students in the classroom, and improves issues such as health, hygiene, food prep, and cleanliness. Volunteers will work with the local builders to construct the rain water harvesting tanks at the selected schools. The community will help contribute locally available building materials like bricks, stones, and sand.
In efforts to provide young school drop-outs with employable skills, we will be hosting a second year of vocational training, offering a 3 month short course in Hospitality and Leadership. These leadership lessons aim to equip young potential leaders in the message of the Gospel, and provide hands on practical training. We host this course at a local Kampala hotel where we offer training in customer service, food service and hotel operations. We host guest lecturers, and do exposure trips to allow underprivileged students the opportunity to see how the hospitality and tourism sector is run in the capital city, in aims for them to get jobs and earn for their own independence.
We have the opportunity to secure proper living conditions for four more families in the coming years. Our Safe House's are provided to eligible vetted families within our sponsorship community. Based on the land, we can provide a four room brick home with roof and safe compound. This safe shelter will accommodate the family comfortably, and provide them with indoor shower space, a covered kitchen and a water collection tank.
