Your gift is doubled!

WHY I’M DOING THIS

School Changes What’s Possible for a Girl

In the communities we serve in Uganda, girls as young as 12 or 14 get married off before they ever get to choose their own future.

A Christian education gives them practical skills, a way to earn a living, and an understanding of who they are in Christ.

Sponsorship is what keeps them in school.

Mission

Setting captives free among the nations by bringing the hurting to the healer.

I sponsored Jovia when I was 12. Last year she graduated with tailoring and hairdressing skills. Now she’s building a career in her community. That’s what I want for 100 more kids.
