Here's Our New Ahadi Kids Sponsorship Packet!

Ahadi Kids

“Ahadi” means “covenant.” Ahadi Kids are children in ChristAid’s service area who are living in the most impoverished conditions. Their families struggle day-to-day to try to make ends meet.

Ahadi Kid sponsors ensure a child living in poverty has the opportunity to attend a ChristAid school. Our schools are typically ranked among the best in the region! Not only do ChristAid students receive a top education, they learn in a Christ-centered environment. In a country where a good education is the path to hope and a future for children, the future would be bleak for these children if not for their sponsors. Thank you, Sponsor, for changing a child’s life and eternity in such powerful ways.

“I thank the Lord so much for the good heart you’ve showed me to be able to sponsor me.”

Kamara, Ahadi Kid

What is the situation for children in Uganda?

Uganda has been ravaged by war, AIDS, malaria and cruel dictatorships. The median age in Uganda is 17, with an estimated number of 2.3 million orphans. Many children are 'full orphans' meaning that neither parent is alive. This sometimes leads to child headed households --children taking care of children. Some kids have been orphaned by one parent, and oftentimes must go to live with relatives as the surviving parent can no longer care for them. Others may live with a parent, but have to quit school because they cannot afford the fees, uniform, school supplies. Children who drop out of school resort to the street, hoping to find odd jobs just to survive. These children are at great risk for trafficking or abuse.

While quality education is the way out of poverty in Uganda, the odds are stacked against poor children. With few resources in their family situations, the opportunity to gain a good education is slim.

How does ChristAid help?

Sponsored Ahadi Kids can start in our Preschool. From there, they attend ChristAid Academy Primary and Secondary Schools. The sponsorship for a Preschool or Primary student is $40 per month, and a Secondary student is $70 per month. They receive a high quality education in a Christ-focused school environment.

Won’t you consider changing the life of one of these children urgently in need of a sponsor? The impact on the child’s life will be immeasurable and eternal!

What kind of relationship can I have with my Ahadi Kid?

We encourage sponsors to develop a relationship with their child. Please pray for your child. They are praying for you, too. You can mail or email letters or pictures to your child through our office at any time. The children’s eyes light up when they receive a letter addressed to them personally and they see photos of their American family from nearly 9000 miles away!

You can expect to receive an update, letter, and photo of your child at least once every year.

As God provides the resources, we would love for you to join us on a mission trip to Uganda! You’ll spend time with your sponsored child, witnessing God's transforming work through Ahadi Kids. You will never be the same.

Our Executive Director, Lory Barton, traveled with a team to Uganda in October, 2025. The students and the schools left an unforgettable impression: “These kids are smart! They want to be in school. They’re proud to be in school. They work hard to learn. For the kids who are awaiting sponsorship … their desperation for an education will both melt and break your heart.” (By the way, she sponsored four Ahadi Kids!)
