SCHOOL MATERIALS & UNIFORM
Many parents cannot afford to provide the materials a child needs to attend school. Unbelievably the cost of these items is just £15 per year.
​
A school uniform gives a sense of belonging and pride to a child in need, just £10 bestows this blessing and helps a child feel valued.
​
Your support would give hope for a better future to a child living in poverty.
SOLAR LAMP
It's dark by 7pm each night in Rwanda & Uganda and few are fortunate enough to have electricity. Imagine trying to do your homework by candlelight. Candles and kerosene lamps are expensive and bad for the health.
​
A Solar Lamp costs just £10, is free to run using renewable energy from the sun, and benefits the entire family.
​
Will you shine a light in a home?
VOCATIONAL TOOLS
Not every student is academically minded, but practical skills are valuable too. Unfortunately in Africa, as elsewhere, vocational training is often considered of lesser importance.
​
Vocational training centres are poorly funded and the students are often those in most need.
​
Providing the equipment to teach skills which will provide a career for the less academically minded is vital in the fight against poverty.
BURSARIES
Academic pathways are not always right for everyone. Learning a trade can often be a better way of finding employment and breaking out of the poverty trap. Short vocational courses at centres run by the church offer this hope.
​
The individuals in most need are often teenage mums who have been rejected by their families and local community. A bursary enables them to learn a skill and restores hope. They find love and acceptance in Jesus, and acceptance by the church often results in a renewed acceptance by their family. You can find out more about how the Lord has been working in their lives below.
