Different ways to support

Sponsoring a child is one of the best ways you can help Africa to develop. A lot of money has been given to Africa in aid but has been misspent through corruption and a lack of accountability. When you invest in a child’s development, it lasts a lifetime and can never be taken away from them.

Your support goes directly to your sponsored child when you sponsor a child through Light Africa. This pays for their tuition fees, a daily meal (sometimes the child’s only meal), and helps to pay for school uniforms and medical expenses.

Light Africa Secondary school is currently having 400 students and the number is growing.

Early 2021 the first phase of block one was completed and furnished.

We thank all our sponsors and donors who have really stood with us. We now have a functional Science Laboratory, Computer Laboratory, and 7 classes to hold regular class lessons.

Since our number is growing, there is a need to expand and create more space for other students from the community and around

Background

From the raising concerns of our girls in our community, we decided to set up a girls’ home. This is a safe haven for our girls who have had rap threats, from chaotic homes and unsafe neighborhoods.

The Project begun in 2017 and from generous donors and sponsors, we have been able to have the building up. Currently, we have 3 floors and it is able to accommodate over 200 students. Thank you very much.

• Future

  However, we have a few areas we need to work on to complete the task.

  • Fully furnished rooms
  • Elevator
  • Teachers Resident

The Church is the salt and light of the community. As light Africa Ministries, we partner with Churches to achieve our goal of raising godly servant-leaders; Kampala community church serves 1000 people, and our recent church plant Katakwi Christian Center in eastern Uganda serves over 300 people.

Matthew 28:19-20(NIV) ”Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Background

It feels so good to run the water and have that cold shower after a long day of work, but that is not the case here in most parts of Uganda. According to the Water and Environment sector performance report (FY 2015/16), in 2014/15 water access in Uganda stood at 65%. During the same year, however, the equity index was reported at 162 persons per water source. Put differently, this means that even though on average two-thirds of Ugandans had access to water, access to improved water sources varied greatly from sub-county to sub-county by an average of 162 persons per water source.

The Busoga sub-region receives the third-lowest total water and environment release per capita, yet it accounts for the fifth-lowest equity index in the country.

• Our Focus

  As Light Africa, we felt the need of working with Kamuli District in this sub-region so as to alleviate the need. Currently, we have built 4 water wells and these serve over 200 people. At the end of 2020, we made a valley dam and this has improved access to water in the community and made lives better.

  You can contribute to making a well. Each well Cost $10K

The Summary:

Uganda has one of the youngest populations in the world, with 78% under the age of 30, representing significant development potential. But however, this has not been tapped in effectively and it is attributed to so many factors: Slow economic growth and small formal labor markets, high population growth rate, lack of sufficient experience and skills, lack of decent work, the rigid education system, rural-urban migration, limited social networks.

As Light Africa Ministries, we are doing our best to equip our young people through formal education but then we realize that we can do more to equip them for their future.

• Solution:

  We are crafting out a Vocational program which will not only equip our students and community with skills, but gives them an opportunity to create their own jobs and depends on how aggressive someone is- they can make a fortune out of it.

  Our Program mainly focuses:

  • Tailoring
  • Brick Making
  • Baking
  • Hair Dressing
  • Welding.
