Educational assistance is given to a limited number of individuals in Uganda who are essentially without full family support. Uganda does not have a free public school system like the United States does, so children who cannot afford to pay for education do not get to go to school. Funds are raised on a case-by-case basis for specific individuals. One man, who is handicapped, was helped through college in Kampala. A widow's four children were assisted through primary school, and several needy children have been given one-time help, such as an injured Sudanese refugee orphan boy who lives in Kampala. And also, a young man without family support is working his way through Bible College with our support, another through University, and still another through technical school.  All of the recipients are either orphans or part orphans (a parent survives), have spiritual mentors, are members of functional Presbyterian churches, and are enrolled in real schools.

The goal is to take a pro-active role in helping the helpless within the Church become educated, self-supporting, prosperous and themselves able to contribute to the needs of others. (Eph 4:28)

Potential supporters can indicate their interest, and over time these or other individuals who need help can be assigned to them for prayer and financial assistance for education.
