Lasting Smiles Uganda

From Kyajja, Uganda to the United States 🇺🇬➡️🇺🇸

Pastor Semei is stepping into a season of connection—meeting with churches, sharing the story, and inviting others into what God is doing through Lasting Smiles Uganda.

We believe this upcoming trip matters.

Would you take a moment today to pray? 🙏
That every meeting is Spirit-led
That the right people are in the room
That doors open that only God can open

We’re expectant for what’s ahead.

Because of your support, lives are being changed in Uganda and children are being cared for, educated, and pointed to Christ.

We’ve also launched Home for Hope - a capital campaign to build safe dormitories for vulnerable children, providing stability, protection, and a place to grow.

Want to be part of it?
📩 Message us to learn more or get involved.

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Ten years ago, Lasting Smiles Uganda began with a simple act of faith—children learning under a jack fruit tree. Today, because of you, it stands as a thriving community of hope, education, and transformation.

There’s something powerful about seeing dreams begin to take shape.

These students at Lasting Smiles Uganda are stepping into a future that once felt out of reach—but today, it’s becoming real. Education is opening doors, building confidence, and creating opportunities that will impact not just their lives, but entire families and communities.

None of this happens without you. Your prayers, generosity, and support are making a lasting difference...one student, one story, one future at a time.

Thank you for believing in them. The best is still ahead. 🇺🇬✨

This week Pastor Semei visited our S1 students who began classes at Kisowera Secondary School. For many of them, this is their first time attending boarding school and being away from their homes in Kyajja.

They are doing well and already enjoying their new environment. It’s exciting to see their dreams beginning to take shape.

Thank you to everyone who supports Lasting Smiles Uganda. Because of you, these students have hope and new opportunities for the future.

Last month started tough...

The storms were heavy.
The damage was real.

But so is God’s faithfulness.
Cleanup is complete, repairs are underway, and restoration continues—from teacher housing improvements to renewed spaces across the grounds.

Even in the storm, brighter days are ahead.

We hope you and yours had a fantastic holiday season and ready for 2026! We can't wait to see what God has in store for our students in Uganda. Thank you for your continued prayers and support.
