Since 2008, Kingsway Christian High School has been providing secondary education in an evangelical Christian setting to orphans and vulnerable youth. Many are survivors of the war with the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) in northern Uganda. More history here.
After nearly two decades of ongoing war, the social, economic, religious, health and educational effects on communities are still greatly felt. Survivors were left with almost nothing. Children couldn’t attend school or church for many years. Kingsway educates and nurtures children of war survivors, and more recently, children born and raised by child-mothers raped during the wars.
“Unstoppable with Christ” is the school’s motto, reflecting an earnest faith and awe for Christ who has accomplished miracles in the lives of the students. Some have gone on to attend university and get good jobs, a fate impossible for impoverished youth otherwise.
Orphans and vulnerable youth from eight districts across Uganda have graduated from Kingsway and now are shining Christ’s light in their communities. Some are teachers, policemen or business owners. Others work for water mission ministries and the United Nations. They are nurturing families and rebuilding communities destroyed by the war.
Check out the video below for an introduction to Kingsway from the founder:
Last year Milly’s daughter Comfort married one of Kingsway’s teachers, Ivan. This was a time of great joy for the whole school, and the students provided live music for the wedding.
Are you curious to know what the students’ daily life is like at Kingsway? Believe it or not, wake-up time is 4 AM, well before dawn, and math practice comes even before breakfast.
Your ongoing monthly support allows Kingsway to transform many more lives. The school has a long list of needy applicants who they are unable to enroll. These children may lose their only opportunity to get an education.
