Our Mission, Vision & Values
adopted by ChristAid’s Board of Directors February, 2026
ChristAid’s mission is to demonstrate Christ’s love by educating impoverished children, caring for aging women in need, building up communities, and fostering sustainable hope and dignity for the most vulnerable people in Uganda.
We envision a thriving Uganda where children are educated, vulnerable Grandmas are cared for, communities are strengthened, and lives are transformed through the love of Jesus Christ.
The vision was born from a desire to provide primary education for the children of the remote mountain village of Kicuna and the surrounding region. ChristAid Academy, which provides educational opportunities to the children of Kicuna, was the fulfillment of that initial dream. The vision then expanded to provide secondary and university education through the Ahadi Kids sponsorship program. Today the educational vision includes our Preschool, Primary, and Secondary Schools, which offer opportunities for the children of Kicuna to receive a quality, Christian education from three years old through Secondary School … and beyond!
Our vision also includes caring for vulnerable women in the region of Fort Portal and Kicuna, who often are responsible for their grandchildren’s care. In a county with no social safety net, we offer dignity and security to these women by providing financial support, safe housing, and medical support.
Finally, we envision a future where ChristAid in Uganda can operate independently and sustainably, apart from U.S. support. As we continue to strengthen communities by undertaking sustainability projects - like our ChristAid Headquarters, agriculture projects, and a tilapia farm - we’re making progress towards realizing this vision.
