We asked Milly to make a list of things that Kingsway could really use, from small to big. From scholarships to buildings to Bibles, there are lots of needs! Use a “Donate” button (or see the bottom of the page) if you would like to help them out.
Student support (Most important)
It takes about $75/month ($900/year) to provide schooling, room and board for each student at Kingsway. Would you be willing to be a monthly supporter, knowing that you’re directly supporting the transformation of young lives and training up disciples for Christ?
At the beginning of each of the past few school years, Kingsway’s offices are overwhelmed with families begging to enroll their children because many schools closed after the two-year pandemic shutdown. Those left had increased their fees, and the few that had charity programs that let orphans attend for free and needy students for half tuition, ended them. Kingsway is one of very few schools left in Uganda that provides education for impoverished children.
Because of this crisis, many children in Uganda have no way to get an education past seventh grade. Government schools are uncommon and are very poorly run. They too charge fees. No schooling is free in Uganda.
Because of the need, Kingsway has been working to expand their student capacity every year. Kingsway was built with a 50 student capacity, but in 2023 they enrolled about 70 students, and in 2024 they enrolled about 100 students to meet the need. This year they are planning for 120. Each year they have had to build desks and beds, and hire more teachers and staff too.
The school grows a large garden to defray food costs, but those are going up too, of course. Please pray for them and consider supporting them.

Skills-Based Education Classes (New!)
The government of Uganda now expects schools to offer practical skills classes so that students gain hands-on training that they can use to support themselves. To fulfill this requirement, 36 manual (non-electric) sewing machines have been purchased and set up for a sewing/tailoring class. (More details here.)
We are now working on a related project, which is to send several manual knitting machines to Kingsway so they can have a knitting program too.
These knitting machines require no electricity, but can make professional-quality items very quickly. The school will be able to make its own sweaters! Go to this page if you want to see how a knitting machine works (and hear about our plans.)
This is an excellent opportunity for Kingsway to have unique, practical programs that will teach students how to use their creativity to serve God and support their future families.
As exciting as both programs are, Kingsway will now need ongoing support for their new teachers as well as supplies (fabric, yarn, thread, needles, etc) for their new curriculum. More details here.

The Girls Dormitory (Updated)
Great news. The bottom floor of the girls dorm was completed a couple years ago, to our great joy. It now is a beautiful place to live for them.
Now that the lower level of the girls dormitory has completed, another $30,000 is needed to finish the next level of the building. (There is actually one more level in their long-term plans too.)
The rapidly expanding school could really use more classroom space, so they will use much of the next level for that. They will also have some of their administrators live on the second level, so the girls have responsible adults living in the same building. This is important for security for the girls in the long term, and recommended by the government.
Currently, Kingsway’s administrators live and work in a very old house on campus that has structural problems and is in danger of collapsing (like the kitchen did not long ago). The safety of Kingsway’s leaders has made completing the next level of the dormitory a priority for us.

Solar Panels and Energy Needs
Thank you to all who helped purchase solar panels for Kingsway’s buildings, which has given them reliable electricity for lighting at night. Hooray! Having solar panels allows students to study and teachers to grade, and for life to go on after dark several more hours.
As wonderful as the solar panels have been, they don’t provide enough power to run computer printers and office machines.
Kingsway really could also use a gasoline/petrol powered generator for their offices when they need electricity, when municipal power is unavailable, which is unfortunately quite often.
The cost is between $1000-$1500.

Bible Study and Worship
Milly would love to have money to buy more Bibles ($12 each), devotional books, and Bible study books suited for teens. Can you contribute to their Bible Study and Worship fund? (Any amount would help.)

Needs that Have Been Met
If you’ve looked at Kingsway’s Wish List in the past, you might wonder about things we’ve mentioned here before. Some of these needs have been met, which gives us a chance to praise God! Read more below.
Fixing the Well
For a long time we’ve had Kingsway’s water needs on our wish list, but now we’re happy to say that this need has been met, hooray! In late 2023, Kingsway was able to connect with a ministry called Genesis Waters who worked for over two years to install a deep-water well, which was commissioned for use on June 12, 2025.
Kingsway now has abundant water that is some of the cleanest that Genesis Waters has found in Africa! Thank you to all those who gave to this critical need. To hear more about the completion of the well, click here.

School Transportation Needs
For years Kingsway has had no car, van or bus, so they often were paying to ride on a boda-boda (a motorcyle taxi) to take them into the city for business. This is very dangerous! We’ve been praying for a vehicle for quite a while.
In February 2026 they were gifted with a lovely minibus that can hold 16-20 passengers. Thanks so much for meeting this need!

You can see that Kingsway has many ongoing needs. Several kind friends have come forward to help, and the school has been able to make many improvements.
The staff still are extremely careful with Kingsway’s money from day to day, and even small gifts are appreciated. They know they are helping some of the poorest kids on the planet.
