Our projects increase independence, opportunity, and self-sufficiency in the Ugandan communities where we serve.
Project Spotlight: Our Innovative Tilapia Farm
ChristAid International is building a fish farm to raise tilapia in Kicuna, Uganda! This project will provide needed protein for our Ahadi Kids and our Grandmas for Jesus, while generating a revenue "stream" that will help the ministry in Uganda continue to "flow" in the direction of self-sustainability.
We have already purchased a perfect, stream-fed property that adjoins our small farm. The lot has been leveled and secured and the dam has been installed. We're digging and lining the ponds, and then we'll purchase 15,000 tilapia fingerlings, which our staff and students will learn to care for and cultivate. After the first harvest, the project will be virtually self-sustaining while producing sustaining revenues for the ministry in Uganda. This is no fish tale! It's innovative stuff, and the first of its kind in the region.
Protein for people who need it? CHECK!
Job skills training for local people and our ChristAid students? CHECK!
Economic development in rural Uganda? CHECK?

As of March, 2026, we need to raise nearly $60,000 to complete this project.

Moves a woman and her grandchildren from desperation to Hope.
Our biggest sustainability endeavor yet, this project has taken over seven years - from conception, to land purchase, design, approvals, and building - to complete. The three story headquarters building is nearly ready to serve as an economic anchor in and around the Fort Portal, Uganda community.
When this project is fully finished, what will the impact be?
Offices for ChristAid Uganda staff - no more rent to pay
Steady and secure jobs for Uganda staff - local economic impact
Twelve market rate apartments - to generate a revenue stream to move the ministry in the direction of independence and sustainability
An event rental space - another revenue-generating resource for the ministry
An eventual rooftop restaurant - as Fort Portal grows as a tourist destination, yet another revenue-generating resource
Jobs and skills training for local people - more local economic impact

Shelters in the Storm
There is no social safety net in Uganda. Aging women are among the most vulnerable members of the community. Many of them are raising grandchildren while living in dangerous and unstable huts. We believe these women should have a safe place to live.
Welcome to Shelters in the Storm, a ministry within the ministry. Our Shelters team builds our Grandma Houses and all of ChristAid’s sustainability projects. To date, we have built forty new homes so far, with plans to build more as funds become available. These homes not only put a roof over a woman’s head - they provide dignity in security in her final years, after a lifetime of hardship and struggle.
An added bonus? Our Shelters in the Storm crew members are employed fulltime, learning job skills, and moving in the direction of their own sustainable independence.
More Teacher Housing
It’s common for schools in Uganda to provide housing for teachers. To hire and retain the best Christian teachers, we want to provide housing as part of their compensation. We’ve already built 12 individual housing units in a multi-unit building for teachers, and two homes for our Headmasters and their families. We’re raising funds to purchase a small adjoining plot of land for additional housing.
