ChristAid is leading a number of projects to increase opportunity and self-sufficiency in Kicuna and Fort Portal.

 

ChristAid Offices

The ChristAid staff moved into their new offices in 2020. The ChristAid offices are located in the ChristAid office and apartment building which is still under construction. Having our own office space saves the cost of renting office space. Fundraising for the building is ongoing. If you would like to contribute, follow the link below.

Because housing in Kicuna typically consists of mud huts made with a mixture of cow dung and dirt, ChristAid purchased a Vermeer Block Press and began building new homes for the grandmothers of the village. More than thirty new homes have been built so far, with more underway.

ChristAid Academy is the only primary school in Kicuna. Without the Academy, students must walk 10 miles down mountain to the city of Fort Portal, risking their health and safety. ChristAid Academy allows students to attend school in a local, safe, Christ-centered environment.

 
 

secondary school

The ChristAid Secondary School opened in January, 2022 and will provide a secondary education for up to 450 students. The school is both a day school for students who live near enough to walk and a boarding school for those at a distance.

 

Grandma village

The Grandma Village provides a home for members of the Grandmas for Jesus sponsorship program who would otherwise be homeless. Eventually six duplexes will house up to twelve Grandmas. The first Grandmas moved in in 2021.
