God’s Will Preschool – Mubaku, Uganda
In partnership with Ronald and The Rotary Club Uganda, we are building a preschool in a remote village where access to early childhood education has long been out of reach. This school will serve as a foundation of hope for the youngest children in the Mubaku community, you can read more about the school here.
Street Business School – Mubaku, Uganda
By bringing Street Business School to Mubaku, a community near Murchison Falls on the Nile River, we’re helping local women and families break the cycle of poverty through entrepreneurial training and mentorship. Your gift fuels confidence, sustainable income, and long-term transformation for families and entire communities. You can read about last year's graduation here, and stay tuned for a two-part story about the new Mubaku project coming soon!
Shalom School & Field of Dreams – Uganda
This two-part project supports a school already bringing education and security to its students. “The Field of Dreams” will provide a much-needed space for play, growth, and healing—because every child deserves room to run and dream. This space will also serve as a community empowerment center, inviting local villagers to find the tools they may need to succeed. You can read more about Shalom in our blog post here and definitely stay tuned for more information about this specific project.
The Sunshine Chalet – Montana, USA
We are partnering with The Lifeguard Group to create a safe, restorative home for survivors of trafficking. The Sunshine Chalet will offer not just some much needed additional shelter, but dignity, peace, and a chance to rebuild. This is where light begins to return. You can read more about The Life Guard Group here.
New Life Center Expansion – Arizona, USA
This expansion supports an incredible shelter in America, offering refuge to women escaping domestic violence and trafficking. Your donation helps increase capacity, improve care, and provide a safe space where healing can begin. You can read a bit more about New Life Center here with more information featuring their hopes and dreams for the future coming soon!
