The future of Uganda, Africa, lies in the training of ethical leaders today. We stress accountability, as this is lacking in our leaders, when people are not held accountable. A good leader can run a successful institution.
Our participants come from all walks of life, different tribes and religions. In July, 120 people attended our 2-day Leadership Conference in Uganda.
Leadership development programs:
Leadership Conferences – focus on strengthening families, marriages, businesses, and nurturing youth
Sports – reaching youth through chess, soccer, basketball
Encouraging Advocacy and Lobbying
Bible Studies – teaching the word of God
Radio Ministry – this is a future goal to reach more people
Only 30% of Ugandan children in our community complete 7th grade.
Since 2005, we have provided scholarships to over 100 students. Many of those children are now grown and actively working and serving in Uganda. They even come back and serve in our programs to help other children receive the support they were given.
In addition to providing scholarships, we opened two schools, serving a total of 160 students, in 2025. We expanded our educational services to include a craft center and vocational scholarships, and partnerships with local universities.

Our goal is to improve access to basic health services. In Uganda, it's uncommon for people to receive preventive care. People typically do not go to see a doctor or healthcare worker unless they have visible symptoms. This is a setup for disaster and preventable deaths.
We encourage annual checkups and have created a Wellness Program of home visits for the elderly to prevent crises.
Our surgical camps that were stopped during COVID were replaced with 2 alumni surgeons working regularly.
Healthcare Programs:
Wellness Program - home visits for the elderly in Uganda
Medical Equipment and Supplies - donations
Opportunities for Visitors:
Short-term Missions - 2-6 weeks
Semester Exchange Program - for college and medical students on clinical rotations
Supporting Healthcare Programs - for example: Surgical Technology, Nurse Anesthesia, Anesthesiology Residency Training in later years.
Unemployment runs rampant in Uganda. More than 50% of young people aged 15-40 are unemployed.
We focus on creating jobs and supporting small business owners. In our school operations, we work hard to pay people promptly. We have 10-12 part-time and full-time employees.
As we start businesses, we intend to become self-sustaining.
