ChristAid Vision
The vision of ChristAid International is to be a positive influence for Christ in the culture of Uganda. We’ll achieve our vision through Christian education, compassionate care, and financial support for the very poor people in the region of Fort Portal and Kicuna, Uganda. Those touched by the love of God through the ministry of ChristAid will have an impact on their families, their communities, and the nation of Uganda.
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. That vision then expanded to provide secondary and university education through the Ahadi Kid sponsorship program by sending sponsored children to boarding schools. Today the educational vision includes our Secondary School and Preschool, which offer great opportunities for the children of Kicuna to receive a quality, Christian education from three years old through secondary school … and beyond!
The vision of ChristAid also includes caring for the desperately poor families in the region of Fort Portal and Kicuna by providing financial support, safe housing, and medical care for students and for elderly widows who often serve as the care-takers of their grandchildren.
Finally, we envision a future where ChristAid in Uganda can operate independently and sustainably, apart from U.S. support. As we continue to undertake sustainability projects - like our ChristAid Headquarters, agriculture projects, and a tilapia farm - we’re making progress towards making this vision a reality.
