ChristAid’s positive impact around the communities of Fort Portal and Kicuna goes far beyond the existence of schools and new homes. Our work has a powerful influence on the entire region as we demonstrate “God’s love in action.” Here are just a few ways the areas where we serve have been impacted with God’s Good:
Excellent primary school education and a future for hundreds of children from Kicuna where no primary school existed before.
Quality preschool and secondary school education for many children.
Through the Ahadi Kids sponsorship program, school tuition and other care are provided for children who would be unable to attend school because their parents can’t afford school fees.
Medical, spiritual, and social care and financial support for elderly widows, many of whom are caretakers for their grandchildren, through the “Grandmas for Jesus” sponsorship program.
Safe and solid block homes for 37 “Grandmas” (and counting!), replacing the hazardous mud and stick homes where they previously lived.
Jobs for 45 young men and women in the “Shelters in the Storm” construction crew who would not otherwise be employed.
Young leaders trained and empowered to make a positive difference in their country.
Reduced crime in the Kicuna area, thanks to employment … and the message of God’s love.
New small businesses created.
Funds infused into the local economy through building programs and employment, significantly impacting local businesses and the economic stability of the region.
Many lives impacted by God’s plans and presence as we demonstrate “God’s love in action” across the community.
