We are off to another great start for 2026 but need your help! We are growing so quickly (almost 300 students a day) that we created temporary classrooms, but they are deteriorating rapidly making them unfit for usage and the local officials are asking us to address the issue. We plan to create permanent brick buildings but need your help! Our resources are at there limit providing for the children and the daily needs of feeding and educating them. Won't you please consider sharing the blessings God has given you with these children in need?

As we come to the end of 2025 we thank God for HIS faithfulness! We finished the last academic term in early December with all of the students being promoted to their next grade level. We are currently averaging about 280 students an academic term! We get children from several villages in the area, many of whom are orphans so we not only provide free education but meals and daily needs as well. In between academic sessions we on average have 50 orphans stay on campus as they have no where to go!

Our campus expanded as well but it is very primative! We built more classrooms from trees we cut from the jungle in order to accommodate the increased number of children coming each session and the 50 who stay on campus in between sessions. We were also able to build a new pit latrine for the campus. Some of our other successes include the ability to buy 7 acres to increase our campus! We are utilizing that land to grow maize and coffee to support the children and potentially the school. We also have some chickens and goats to supply food for the children.

God is bringing so many children to us who need daily necessities and an education that we can't keep up financially! We are in great need of a well as our rain water catchment system is also utilized by the village and no longer provides enough water for the school. And we have no power source currently and need to add solar to the campus as well. Since every thing raised goes to the school and its operations, we also need to raise the funds to send our US team over to Uganda to meet government officials, assess the needs and future needs of the school, plan the next 1-5 years of the school, and much more! Please pray for us and consider sharing the excess blessings God has given you with us so we can break the chains of poverty, lack of parental/custodial support for numerous children, and little to no education through the love of Jesus Christ, meeting daily life needs, and education!

God has blessed us at CAWSIU and the school, but we need your help! Currently about 280 children attend daily of which about 80% are orphaned! Over the last 2 months we have had 50 orphans come live on site at the school as they have no where to go! We adapted 2 rooms in what was built to be dorms for teachers but we still need doors for the building. On top of that, we do not have beds for these children so the children have to sleep on mats on the floor. We need your help, won't you please consider sharing some of the blessings God has given you? We need to buy 30 bunk beds immediately (at a cost of $150/bunk bed), doors to finish the teachers' dorms, on top of a monthly need of about $1800/month to pay teachers, provide food and school supplies. Please pray for us and help us to be God's hands and feet to the children of the Rakai district in Uganda Africa!

God is so good! We have had so many children this academic term that we had to build more desks that your giving helped us to get the needed materials to make them. But with God blessing us with almost 290 children a day, we have so many needs to meet for those children like food, books , paper, bibles, and salaries for the teachers! Won't you please continue to support us?
